Find the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence -2,-14,-26,-38

Mathematics
1 answer:
dimulka [17.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

\large\boxed{a_n=10-12n}

Step-by-step explanation:

It's an arithmetic sequence.

-14-(-2)=-14+2=-12\\-26-(-14)=-26+14=-12\\-38-(-26)=-38+26=-12

The difference is constant.

The explicit formula of an arithmetic sequence:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

Substitute:

a_1=-2,\ d=-12

a_n=-2+(n-1)(-12)        <em>use distributive property</em>

a_n=-2-12n+12\\\\a_n=(-2+12)-12n\\\\a_n=10-12n

Keith bought 6 new baseball trading cards to add to his collection. The next
sergeinik [125]

Keith started with 44 cards.

So we need to work backwards.

After his dog ate half his collection, he had 25 cards.

To reverse that, you need to multiply 25 by 2.

25×2=50

If he bought 6 new cards that day, then he started with 6 cards less.

So you have to subtract 6 from 50.

50-6=44

I NEED THIS NOW PLEASE!!!
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

We can predict that the spinner will possible land on the green or blue 8 out of 12 times, or 66% of the time.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the percentage of the spinner that is both green and blue.

There are a total of 12 sections on the spinner.

6 out of 12 of the sections are green. 6/12 = 0.5 or a 50% change

2 out of 12 of the secions are blue. 2/12 = 0.16 or a 16% change

3 out of 12 of the sections are pink. 3/12 = 0.25 or a 25% chance

1 out of 12 sections are yellow. 1/12 = 0.08 or a 8% chance

Athough I provided the percantages for each color, all we really need is the data for the green and blue.

0.5 + 0.16 = 0.66

12 x 0.66 = 7.92 or 8 when rounded to the nearest whole number

Therefore, we can predict that the spinner will possible land on the green or blue 8 out of 12 times, or 66% of the time.

Hope this helps! Have a blessed day! :)
