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}

A 12 ft. ladder is being placed against a 10 ft.
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of wall = 10ft

Length of ladder = 12ft

Angle of elevation be x

Sin x = opp/hyp

Sin x = wall height/length of ladder

Sin x = 10/12

Sin x = 0.83

X = Sin-¹ (0.83)

X = 56.44°

A graph of a linear function is shown on the grid. Which of these best represents 0 of the function? A 8. B 10. C 16. D 24.
harina [27]

answer:

C. 16

explanation:

when x is 0, the y-intercept is 8

coordinates: (0,8) and (4,6)

slope:

\sf \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

\sf \frac{6-8}{4-0}

\sf \frac{-2}{4}

\sf -\frac{1}{2}

equation:

\sf y = mx +b    [ where m is slope and b is y-intercept ]

y = \sf -\frac{1}{2}x +8

solve for x-intercept:

note: zeros of a function are the values of x when f(x) is equal to 0

y = \sf -\frac{1}{2}x +8

0= \sf -\frac{1}{2}x +8

-8= \sf -\frac{1}{2}x

\sf x = -8 * -2

\sf x = 16
