Answer:
= 5n - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
given a₄ = 18 and a₁₀ = 48 , then
a₁ + 3d = 18 → (1)
a₁ + 9d = 48 → (2)
subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁
6d = 30 ( divide both sides by 6 )
d = 5
substitute d = 5 into (1) and solve for a₁
a₁ + 3(5) = 18
a₁ + 15 = 18 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
a₁ = 3
Then
= 3 + 5(n - 1) = 3 + 5n - 5 = 5n - 2
Answer:
In the year 2010, the population of the city was 175,000
Step-by-step explanation:
If we rewrote this as a linear expression in standard form (it is linear, btw), it would look like this:
The rate of change, the slope of this line, is 11/2. If the year 2010 is our time zero (in other words, we start the clock at that year), then 0 time has gone by in the year 2010. In the year 2011, t = 1 (one year goes by from 2010 to 2011); in the year 2012, t = 2 (two years have gone by from 2010 to 2012), etc. If we plug in a 0 for t we get that y = 175,000. That is our y-intercept, which also serves to give us the starting amount of something time-related when NO time has gone by.
