The explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence shown in the graph is a↓n=9.5+2(n-1)

Mathematics

Virty [35]3 years ago

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit form for an arithmetic sequence is:

a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

where a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference.

The common difference here is 2 because the y's are going up by 2 while the x's are going up by 1.

Yes, the common difference is the slope.

So we have d=2.

The first term is 9.5 because that is what happens when x=1.

x is n.

y is a_n.

So the answer is true.

You can also verify by plugging in numbers for n and see if you get the outputs mentioned in the pairs given:

Let n=1:

a_1=9.5+2(1-1)

a_1=9.5+2(0)

a_1=9.5+0

a_1=9.5

Let n=2:

a_2=9.5+2(2-1)

a_2=9.5+2(1)

a_2=9.5+2

a_2=11.5

Let n=3:

a_3=9.5+2(3-1)

a_3=9.5+2(2)

a_3=9.5+4

a_3=13.5

Let n=4:

a_4=9.5+2(4-1)

a_4=9.5+2(3)

a_4=9.5+6

a_4=15.5

Let n=5:

a_5=9.5+2(5-1)

a_5=9.5+2(4)

a_5=9.5+8

a_5=17.5

Let n=6:

a_6=9.5+2(6-1)

a_6=9.5+2(5)

a_6=9.5+10

a_6=19.5

We have confirmed that we get all 6 of the mentioned points using the equation they gave.

Answer fast!<br>Find the lateral surface area of the solid above.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

168 cm²

Explanation:

Lateral surface area of triangular prism: (perimeter of base) × height

Here given:

  • a = 4 cm
  • b = 6 cm
  • c = 4 cm
  • h = 12 cm

So, lateral surface area:

= (4 + 6 + 4) × 12

= 168 cm²
