Explicit Formula
Just in case you don't know what this is, the explicit formula is the formula that solves for any term in the series without necessarily knowing what came before the term you are solving.
<em><u>Givens</u></em>
d = t_(n + 1) - t_n You can take any term and the next term for this part of the formula
d = t_3 - t_2
t_3 = 1
t_2 = -7
d = 1 - - 7 = 8
a = -15
<em><u>Formula</u></em>
t_n = a + (n - 1)*d
t_n = -15 + (n - 1)*8
For example find the 5th term.
t_5 = - 15 + (5 - 1)*8
t_5 = - 15 + 4 *8
t_5 = -15 + 32
t_5 = 17 Which is what you have.
Recursive Formula
Computers really like this formula. They use it in what is called a subroutine and they pass values from one part of the program to a subroutine which evaluates the given and sends the result back. I'm telling you all this so you see why you are doing it. The disadvantage of it for humans is that you must know the preceding term to use the recursive formula.
<em><u>Formula</u></em>
t_n = t_(n - 1) + d
<em><u>Example</u></em>
t_6 = t_(6 - 1) + d
t_6 = t_5 + 8
t_6 = 17 + 8
t_6 = 25
You can check this by using the explicit formula.
Answer:
Your answer is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
We know your answer is going to be the answer because 8 is a bigger number than 5, so you take 5 away from (-8)
Which leaves you with -3
Hope this helps!

Answer:
D, E and F
calculating the volume of regular bodies like prims works by multiplication alone.
you need some addition for surface area and for more complicated bodies that when the volume can't be calculated in one step
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
area of smaller triangle=96×(3/12)²=96×1/16=6cm²
Answer:
-5x^2-2x
Step-by-step explanation:
When distributing, you multiply the term outside the brackets to all the terms in brackets.
If the term outside the bracket is negative, then when distributing/opening the brackets, the signs of the terms changes.
So in this prob. -x would multiply to both +5x and +2
-x*5x+-x*2
∴-5x^2-2x
