Option B:
The expression equivalent to |a| ≤ 5 is a ≥ -5 and a ≤ 5.
Solution:
Given expression:
To find the equivalent expression for the given expression.
Apply absolute value rule:
<em>If |x| ≤ m then -m ≤ x ≤ m.</em>
⇒ -5 ≤ a ≤ 5
⇒ -5 ≤ a and a ≤ 5
Switch the sides, we get
⇒ a ≥ -5 and a ≤ 5
The expression equivalent to |a| ≤ 5 is a ≥ -5 and a ≤ 5.
Option B is the correct answer.
The first term of the sequence, a = 15,000
Each subsequent winner gets $150 less
Hence, the common difference, d = - $150
The first four terms :
First term, a1 = $15000
Second term, a2 = a - d = $15000 - $150 = $14850
Third term, a3 = a2 - d = $14850 - $150 = $14700
Fourth term, a4 = a3 - d = $14700 - $150 = $14550
a, for the sequence is the first term = $15000
d, for the sequence is the common $150 (difference between successive wins).
Explicit formula for the general term :
For n = 1
Hence, the explicit formula for the nth term is :
