What is the nth term of the arithmetic sequence 7,5,3,1?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

tn = 7 + (n - 1)*(-2) or

tn = 9 - 2n

Step-by-step explanation:

You are (beginning with 7) subtracting 2 from the term to the left.

a = 7

d = -2

tn = a1 + (n - 1)*d

tn = 7 + (n - 1)*(-2)

Try this out on n = 4

t4 = 7 + (4 - 1)*-2

t4 = 7 +  (3) (-2)

t4 = 7 - 6

t4 = 1 just as it says.

More generally

tn = 7 + (n - 1)*-2

tn = 7 + (-2n) + 2

tn = 9 - 2n

<h2>Answer:</h2>

-1/3x

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2><h3>Known :</h3>
  • x1 = -3
  • x2 = 0
  • y1 = 1
  • y2 = 0

<h3>Asked :</h3>
  • Correct line equation

<h3>Solution :</h3>

We can find the straight line equation using this formula,

\frac{y-y1}{y2-y1} = \frac{x-x1}{x2-x1}

Insert all we know inside the formula,

\frac{y-1}{0-1} = \frac{x-(-3)}{0-(-3)}\\\frac{y-1}{-1} = \frac{x +3}{3}\\

Use cross multiplication,

3(y - 1) = -1(x + 3)\

3y - 3 = -x - 3

3y = -x - 3 + 3

3y = -x

y = -1/3x

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

The correct equation is y = -1/3x

Marcus loves baseball and wants to create a home plate for his house. Marcus needs to calculate the area of the home plate at th
Jobisdone [24]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Area of the polygon = 59 in²

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

From the given diagram, we can note that the given polygon is composed of an upper triangle, a side triangle and a rectangle

<u>Therefore:</u>

Area of polygon =

area of upper triangle + area of side triangle + area of rectangle

<u>1- getting the area of the upper triangle:</u>

<u>We have:</u>

base of triangle = 7 in

height of triangle = 6 in

<u>Therefore:</u>

Area of upper triangle = \frac{1}{2}*base*height = \frac{1}{2}*7*6=21 in²

<u>2- getting the area of the side triangle:</u>

<u>We have:</u>

base of triangle = 4 in

height of triangle = 5 in

<u>Therefore:</u>

Area of upper triangle = \frac{1}{2}*base*height = \frac{1}{2}*4*5=10 in²

<u>3- getting the area of the rectangle:</u>

<u>We have:</u>

length of rectangle = 7 in

width of rectangle = 4 in

<u>Therefore:</u>

Area of rectangle = length x width = 7 x 4 = 28 in²

<u>4- getting the total area of the polygon:</u>

Area of polygon =

area of upper triangle + area of side triangle + area of rectangle

<u>Therefore:</u>

Area of polygon = 21 + 10 + 28 = 59 in²

Hope this helps :)

Given that f(x) = x2 − 3x + 3 and g(x) = the quantity of x minus one, over four , solve for f(g(x)) when x = 5
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(g(x)) when x = 5, evaluate g(5) then substitute the value obtained into f(x)

g(5) = \frac{5-1}{4} = \frac{4}{4} = 1, then

f(1) = 1² - 3(1) + 3 = 1 - 3 + 3 = 1

The cost C, in dollars, for delivered pizza depends on the number p of pizzas ordered. The situation is represented by the funct
leva [86]

Answer: discrete

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph would be discrete, because you can only order a whole number of pizzas. This means you cannot have 0.4 of a pizza or 3/5 of a pizza. Therefore, p can only be whole numbers, so you cannot draw a line through the points, since prices for non-whole pizzas are not possible.
