Answer: the 32nd term is - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + d(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 15.6

d = 15 - 15.6 = 14.4 - 15 = - 0.6

n = 32

The explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence is

Tn = 15.6 - 0.6(n - 1)

We want to determine the value of the 32nd term, T32. Therefore,

T32= 15.6 - 0.6 (32 - 1)

T32 = 15.6 - 18.6

T32 = - 3

Answer:

The given fraction $\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}$ reduces to $\frac{x-1}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given fraction $\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}$

We have to reduce the fraction to the lowest terms.

Consider numerator $x^3-x^2$

We can take x² common from both the term,

Thus, numerator can be written as $x^2(x-1)$

Given expression can be rewritten as ,

$\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}=\frac{x^2(x-1)}{x^3}$

We can now cancel $x^2$ from both numerator and denominator,

$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2(x-1)}{x^3}=\frac{x^2(x-1)}{x^2 \cdot x}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{(x-1)}{x^2 \cdot x}=\frac{x-1}{x}$

Thus, the given fraction $\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}$ reduces to $\frac{x-1}{x}$
