Are negative slopes steeper than positive slopes

Answer:

No, they are not necessarily steeper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steepness is the <em>absolute value</em> of a slope. (The sign of a slope determines the direction of the incline: negative slope corresponds to pointing up to the left, positive slope points up to the right.)

So it is only the absolute value of a slope that should be used in any comparison. Because of that, one cannot, in general, say that negative slopes are steeper than positive slopes.

A higher positive slope means a steeper upward tilt to the curve, which you can see at higher output levels. A negative slope that is larger in absolute value (that is, more negative) means a steeper downward tilt to the line.

The recursive rule for a sequence is shown.an=an−1+9a1=21 what is the explicit rule for this sequence?

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Meaning of Explicit rule , is the general rule for a sequence.

The given sequence is defined as,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+9a_{1}-21$ ----(1)

Common Difference(d) of an airthmetic Sequence= N th term - (N-1) th term

$=a_{n}-a_{n-1}\\\\=a_{n-1}-a_{n-2}$

Equation 1 can be written as,

$a_{n}-a_{n-1}=9 a_{1}-21\\\\ d =9a_{1}-21$

General rule or explicit rule for this sequence is given as:

$a_{n}=a_{1} +(n-1)d\\\\a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)(9a_{1}-21)\\\\a_{n}=a_{1}+9na_{1}-21 n-9a_{1}+21\\\\a_{n}=-8a_{1}+21+n(9a_{1}-21)$
