Answer: 17</h3>
=========================================================
Work Shown:
a1 = 3 = first term
d = 2 = common difference (since we add 2 to each term to get the next one)
Let's compute the nth term.
an = a1 + (n-1)*d
an = 3 + (n-1)*2
an = 3 + 2n-2
an = 2n+1
-----------------------
To check things so far, we can plug in something like n = 2
an = 2n+1
a2 = 2*2+1
a2 = 5
Showing that the 2nd term is 5, which matches with the sequence given to us
Let's check n = 3
an = 2n+1
a3 = 2*3+1
a3 = 7
That matches as well. I'll let you check the others.
-----------------------
Plug in n = 8 to find the 8th term
an = 2n+1
a8 = 2*8+1
a8 = 17
The eighth term is 17, which is the final answer.
-----------------------
You could extend out the given sequence by adding 2 each time until you reach the 8th term
3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17
Though this method is slow if you need to find say the 38th term
2 1/4 ⋅ 9/5 —> 9/4 ⋅ 9/5 = 81/20 or 4 1/20 or 4.05
Answer:
x = 15 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle ACD is similar to triangle ABE based on the information given, therefore we can set up a proportion to compare the sides:
side AE / side EB = side AD / side DC
4/6 = 10/x
Solve for x
x = (10)(6) / 4
x = 60 / 4
x = 15 ft
