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}

#2, can someone help me with this question?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

166.5 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Vcone = ⅓ × pi × r² × h

pi × r² × h = 3 × Vcone

Vcylinder = pi × r² × h

Vcylinder = 3 × Vcone

Vcylinder = 3 × 55.5 = 166.5 m³

What is the center and radius of the circle that has the equation x+72+y-42=49? Explain.
balu736 [363]

Answer: The center is (-7, 4) and the radius is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a circle usually is:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2

where R is the radius, and (a, b) is the center of the circle.

I guess that the equation in this case is:

(x + 7)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 49

then, in this case we have:

a = -7 and b = 4, then (a, b) = (-7, 4)

this means that the center of our circle is in the point (-7, 4)

and we know that:

R^2 = 49

R = √49 = 7

Then the radius is equal to 7.
