6)

34, 43, 52, 61, ...

43-34 = 9; 52-43 = 9; 61-52 = 9

The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence

first term:  a = 34

difference:  d = 9

so the formula:

                         a_n=a+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=34+9(n-1)\\\\a_n = 34+9n-9\\\\\underline{a_n=9n+25}

7)

10, 6, 2, -2, ...

6-10 = -4; 2-6 = -4; -2-2 = -4

The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence

first term:  a = 10

difference:  d = -4

so the formula:

                         a_n=a+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=10+(-4)(n-1)\\\\a_n = 10-4n+4\\\\\underline{a_n=-4n+14}

8)

-3, -10, -17, -24, ...

-10-(-3) = -7; -17-(-10) = -7; -24-(-17) = -7

The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence

first term:  a = -3

difference:  d = -7

so the formula:

                         a_n=a+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=-3+(-7)(n-1)\\\\a_n =-3-4n+7\\\\\underline{a_n=-7n+4}

9)

7, 8.5, 10, 11.5, ...

8.5-7 = 1.5; 10-8.5 = 1.5; 11.5-10 = 1.5

The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence

first term:  a = 7

difference:  d = 1.5

so the formula:

                         a_n=a+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=7+1.5(n-1)\\\\a_n =7+1.5n-1.5\\\\\underline{a_n=1.5n+5.5}

10)

30, 22¹/₂, 15, 7¹/₂, ...

22¹/₂-30 = -7¹/₂;   15-22¹/₂ = -7¹/₂;   7¹/₂-15 = -7¹/₂

The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence

first term:  a = 30

difference:  d = -7¹/₂

so the formula:

                         a_n=a+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=30+(-7\frac12)(n-1)\\\\a_n =30-7\frac12n+7\frac12\\\\ \underline{a_n=-7\frac12n+37\frac12}

Nancy has to find the coordinates of the reflection of the point across the y-axis. How can she find the coordinates of the new
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: (x, y) transforms into (-x, y)

Step-by-step explanation:

When we do a reflection over a given axis, the distance between the initial point to the axis must be the same as the distance of the reflected point to the axis.

So if we do a reflection over the y-axis, then the value of y must be fixed.

So if we start with the point (x, y), the only other point that is at the same distance from the y-axis is the point (-x, y)

So the rule is, the y value remains equal and the x changes of sign.

I need help with #7 c and d
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

  c. 33.0%

  d. 14.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

For answering questions about percentages in different categories or combinations of categories, it is convenient to find the totals of rows and columns in the table. These totals are shown in the attached.

__

<h3>c.</h3>

Students who surf total 32+65 = 97. Of those, 32 also skateboard. The requested percentage is ...

  32/97 × 100% ≈ 33.0% . . . . surfers who also skateboard

__

<h3>d.</h3>

The total number of students is 166. Of those, the number who neither surf nor skateboard is 24. That percentage is ...

  24/166 × 100% ≈ 14.5% . . . . students who don't surf or skateboard

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

a. 97/166 ≈ 58.4% surf

b. 89/166 ≈ 53.6% do not skateboard

__

This sort of table is called a "two-way table." One set of categories is represented in rows, another set is represented in columns. This table is filled with <em>frequencies</em>. Such tables can also display <em>relative frequencies</em> by dividing the entire table by the total of totals in the lower right corner.
