an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence -5,13,31,49 is $a_n =18n-23$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have an arithmetic sequence -5,13,31,49 . We need to find an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence .Let's find out:

Let $a_1 = -5 , a_2=13 ,a_3=31,a_4=49$ be terms of an A.P , common difference is :

⇒ $d=a_2-a_1$

⇒ $d=13-(-5)$

⇒ $d=13+5$

⇒ $d=18$

We know that general term of an Arithmetic Progression ( A.P) is :

⇒ $a_n = a+(n-1)d$

So , Here we will have $a_n = -5+(n-1)18$

⇒ $a_n = -5+(n-1)18$

⇒ $a_n = -5+18n-18$

⇒ $a_n =18n-23$

Therefore , an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence -5,13,31,49 is $a_n =18n-23$ .

A given shape that is bounded by three sides and has got three internal angles is referred to as a triangle. Thus the value of PB is 8.0 units.

A given shape that is bounded by three sides and has got three internal angles is referred to as a triangle. Types of triangles include right angle triangle, isosceles triangle, equilateral triangle, acute angle triangle, etc. The sum of the internal angles of any triangle is $180^{o}$ .

In the given question, point P is center of the given triangle such that <APB = <APC = <BPC = $120^{o}$ . Such that line PB bisects <ABC into two equal measures of $30^{o}$ .
