Answer:
the distance of point C from the origin is 38
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find the attached document for explanation
p = -5
every element in the sequence is created by subtracting 3 from the pervious element.
I am not sure you put every necessary information here.
but I'd the visible information is truly everything, then it's is trivial.
the difference between 4 and 1 is ... well, -3. meaning we subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.
we suspect this is the rule and keep trying.
1 -3 = -2
hey it works.
and -8 -3 = -11
hey, also correct.
and the difference between -2 and -8 is -6, and when we place another item in between (p), we cut that in half again to -3. so, it is all consistent.
therefore,
p = -2 -3 = -5
the rule is
an = an-1 - 3
x= 3
1. -5(3) + 2 = -13
2. -15 + 2 = -13 <em>A positive times a negative will always equal a negative</em>
3. -13 = -13 <em>Whenever you add anything to a negative number, the </em>
<em> number becomes smaller </em>
Ex: -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...........
<em>Although the number itself becomes smaller, its value </em>
<em> becomes bigger </em>
Hope this helps.
