Because the difference between any term and the previous term is a constant, this is an arithmetic sequence because of that constant which is referred to as the common difference, d. Which in this case is -35--38=-32--35=3
Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number.
In this case a=-38 and d=3 so
a(n)=-38+3(n-1) which we can simplify to
a(n)=-38+3n-3
a(n)=3n-41, so the 52nd term is:
a(52)=3(52)-41
a(52)=156-41
a(52)=115
Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
3x -(7-x) = 29 remove the parens
3x - 7 + x = 29 simplify
4x -7 = 29 add 7 to both sides of the equation
4x = 36 divide by
x = 9
then 6x = 6 * 9 = 54
Treat the matrices on the right side of each equation like you would a constant.
Let 2<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em> = <em>A</em> and 3<em>X</em> - 4<em>Y</em> = <em>B</em>.
Then you can eliminate <em>Y</em> by taking the sum
4<em>A</em> + <em>B</em> = 4 (2<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em>) + (3<em>X</em> - 4<em>Y</em>) = 11<em>X</em>
==> <em>X</em> = (4<em>A</em> + <em>B</em>)/11
Similarly, you can eliminate <em>X</em> by using
-3<em>A</em> + 2<em>B</em> = -3 (2<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em>) + 2 (3<em>X</em> - 4<em>Y</em>) = -11<em>Y</em>
==> <em>Y</em> = (3<em>A</em> - 2<em>B</em>)/11
It follows that
Similarly, you would find
You can solve the second system in the same fashion. You would end up with
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we can see that the line goes thru the point (-1,2) and (4,-2) now to find slope we just find change in y over change in x
more visually:
(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
so for the point (-1,2) let’s say
-1 = x1
and
2 = y1
and for the point (4,-2) let’s say
4 = x2
and
-2 = y2
to find slope we plug in the values to our slope equation and we get this:
(2-(-2))/( -1-4)
(2+2)/-5
4/-5
so slope is -4/5
because to get from (-1,2) to (-4,-2) you have to move down 4 and to the right 5
