The general term is obtained by starting with the initial value 5 and then subtracting 4 each time you wish to generate a new term:

a2 = second term = 5+(2-1)(-4)       =    5+(-4) = 1

General term:

an = nth term = 5+(n-1)(-4)

Thus, the 21st term is 5+(21-1)(-4) = 5 + (20)(-4) = -75 (answer)

Find the vertex of the function given below.<br> y = 3x2 + 6x +1
anastassius [24]

Answer: The coordinates of the vertex are : (-1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation: To find the x coordinate, we use the formula:

Xv = -b/2a = -6/(2.3) = -6/6 = -1

Replacing x by -1, we write:

y = 3. (-1)^2 + 6. (-1) +1 = 3 - 6 + 1 = -2

The equation of line q is y =
shtirl [24]
These are not the exact numbers but just plug in the numbers of yours Because we know that q is a perpendicular line to p we know that its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of p. So its slope is 7/10. Now we just need to find its y-intercept. To do that we write what we know about line q. So we know that the equation for line q looks like:

y = (7/10)x + b

We also know that q passes through the point (8,7), so we now plug that in and solve for b:

7 = (7/10)(8) + b
7 - (56/10) = b
(70/10) - (56/10) = b
14/10 = 7/5 = b

So now that we have solved for the y-intercept, we know that the equation for line q is:

y = (7/10)x + 7/5

A square photograph has a perimeter of 20 inches. What is the area of the photograph?
Inga [223]
Since it is in fact a square photograph, you divide the perimeter by four. Each side would then be 5 inches, and multiplying two of these sides, 5*5, would give you the area of 25 inches
