What is a21 of the arithmetic sequence for which a7=-19 and a10=-28

Mathematics

Answer:

-61

Step-by-step explanation:

So arithmetic sequences are linear.  This means no matter what two points you use from the sequence you will get the same slope (also known as common difference when talking about arithmetic sequences).

So we have two points given on this line:

(7,-19) and (10,-28).

Let's find the slope:

Line up the points and subtract vertically, then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

Like this:

(  7  ,  -19)

-(10  ,  -28)

----------------

-3         9

So the slope is 9/-3 or -3 after reducing.

Now I'm going to use the following two points to find the 21st term:

(21,y) and (7,-19).

We are using these 2 points to find the slope. Line them up and subtract vertically, then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

Like so:

 ( 21   ,  y)

- (   7  ,-19)

---------------

14        y+19

So the slope is (y+19)/14.

So since this is a line it shouldn't matter what two points you choose on it, the slopes should be the same.

So we have the following equation to solve:

\frac{y+19}{14}=-3

Multiply both sides by 14:

y+19=-3(14)

Simplify right hand side:

y+19=-42

Subtract 19 on both sides:

y=-42-19

Simplify right hand side:

y=-61

The 21st term is -61.

Three times a number plus 16
DochEvi [55]
To solve this, we simply need to break down the words and turn each part into an equation.

"Three times"
This shows that we will be multiplying 3 and something.
3*

"a number"
This shows that the number we will be multiplying 3 by is "n," which represents a number.
3*n or 3n

"plus 16"
This shows we will be adding 16 to the rest of the equation.
3n+16

Using the logic above, we can see that the equation to represent this is 3n+16.
