Answer:
5 terms
Step-by-step explanation:
nth term of the sequence =n^2 + 20
an= n^2 + 20
1st term when n= 1
1^2 + 20= 20
2nd term n= 2
2^2 + 20=24
3rd term when n= 3
3^2 + 20= 29
4th term when n= 4
4^2 + 20= 36
5th term when n= 5
5^2 + 20 =45
6th term when n= 6
6^2 + 20=56
Hence, terms in the sequence are less than 50 are first 5 terms
The slope is change in "Y" divided by the change in "x"
1-(-3)/2-(-1)
= 4/3
Standard Form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-3)=4/3(x-(-1)
y+3=4/3x+4/3
y=4/3x-5/3
Rewrite in standard form
-4/3x+y=-5/3
Can't have fractions so multiply by 3 to get rid of the denominator
-4x+3y=5
Divide by -1 to get rid of the negative sign
4x-3y=-5
880 is the answer for this arithmetic sequence
Rewrite the equation in exponential form, use the definition of a log and then simplify and you should get x= e^4/12 or 4.55
