In An arithmetic sequence will add or subtract the same thing each time to find the next term. In this case we start with 10 and need to get to 40 on the 6th term. This is a difference of 30 that needs to be divided by 5 open spaces. You are adding 6 each time.

10, 16, 22, 28, 34, 40, _,_,_,_, 70, _,_,_,_,100,_,_,_, 124.

Another way to do this would be to look at the 5th term and multiply it by 4 to get to the 20th term. 34 x 4 = 124.

Answer:124

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is Tn = a + (n-1)d

a is the first term.

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

a is 10

The sixth term T6 = 10 + (6-1)d = 40

T6 = 10 - 5d = 40

5d = 40 - 10

5d = 30

d = 6

To get the 20th term T20

T20 = 10 + (20-1)6

T20 = 10 + 19(6)

T20 = 10 + 114

T20 = 124

The first term of a geometric sequence is equal to a and the common ratio of the sequence is r.
ololo11 [35]

Answer: (a)  {a, ar, ar², ar³, ar⁴, ar⁵...}, (b)  arⁿ⁻¹

For part (a), the question gives us the first term a, and then asks us to apply the common ratio r six times.

In order for ar = a, the nth term of r will have to equal 0 (this implies that n is an exponent; thus giving us the first term a, as r = 1).

Since we use this method on the first term, we must use it for the next five, in which r gains an additional exponent for every consecutive value (nth term) thereafter.  

Ultimately getting: {a, ar, ar², ar³, ar⁴, ar⁵...}

For part (b), we first have to understand that the sequence does not start at 0, but at 1 for n. In order for ar = a, with n = 1, there needs to be subtraction of -1 within the exponent. So that arⁿ⁻¹

If we check and apply this, we can see that:

{ar¹⁻¹, ar²⁻¹, ar³⁻¹, ar⁴⁻¹, ar⁵⁻¹, ar⁶⁻¹...} = {a, ar, ar², ar³, ar⁴, ar⁵...} = arⁿ⁻¹ = Tn

2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

prime numbers=2,3,4,5,...

taking 2 and 3

2+3=5

Somebody please explain this I have a major exam soon and I really need to know how to solve problems like this​
nevsk [136]

Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope. You find the slope by using the formula y2-y1/x2-x1. (2, 1) and (4, 5) are our points. Let's find our values.

y2= 5

y1= 1

x2 = 4

x1 = 2

Plug in the numbers into the equation. 5 - 1 is 4. 4 - 2 is 2. 4/2 is 2. There. Our slope is 2.

Step 2: Find the b value. Keep in mind that an equation in point-slope form is y = mx + b, where m = the slope, and b = the y-intercept. For this part, you will plug in one of the points as x and y to find the b value. let's use point (4, 5)

The equation then becomes 5 = 2(4) + b. As we know, 2 * 4 is 8. Subtract 8 on both sides of the equation to cancel out the right side and isolate the b variable. 5 - 8 is -3. Even if you use the other point for the equation (1 = 2(2) +b), you should get the same answer of -3.
