Answer:

1). Arithmetic mean

2). Recursive formula: a_{n}=a_{n-1}+17

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah is collecting recyclables for a science project. On day 1 she collects 35 recyclable objects, on day 2 she collected 52 and on day 3 she collected 69 recyclables.

So, sequence of recyclable objects formed was 35, 52, 69 .........

If this sequence is an arithmetic sequence then each successive term will have a common difference and if it's a geometric sequence then there will be a common ratio in each successive term.

Now common difference = d=T_{2}-T_{1}=T_{3}-T_{2}

52 - 35 = 17

69 - 52 = 17

Therefore, it's an arithmetic sequence.

Now we know the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n}=a_{n-1}+d

Here d = 17

So, recursive formula will be a_{n}=a_{n-1}+17

The scneario here expressed is an aritmetic sequence because it can be explained like this: 

<span><span><span>a1</span>=35
</span><span><span>an</span>=<span>a<span>n−1</span></span>+<span>17

So all the variables can fit in and will be better explained than a geometric sequence in which you need a common ratio and that is not needed in this case</span></span></span>

Line AB contains points A (8, −4) and B (1, −5). The slope of line AB is....
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The\ slope\ of\ the\ line\ AB\ is \frac{1}{7} .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for slope

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

As the Line AB contains points A (8, −4) and B (1, −5).

Put points value in the above

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

m = \frac{- 5- (-4)}{1 - 8}

m = \frac{- 5 + 4}{1 - 8}

m = \frac{- 1}{-7}

m = \frac{1}{7}

Therefore\ the\ slope\ of\ the\ line\ AB\ is \frac{1}{7} .

The length of a rectangle is two more than twice the width. the perimeter is 58ft. what is the area of the rectangle?
goldenfox [79]

58/2 = 29

w +2w+2 = 29

3w+2 =29

3w = 27

w = 27/3 = 9

 width = 9

length = 2*9=18+2 = 20

20+20+9+9 = 58

Length = 20 feet

width = 9 feet
