Given:
First term of an arithmetic sequence = 5
Second term = 3
To find:
The explicit formula for the given arithmetic sequence.
Solution:
We have,
First term: 
Second term: 
Common difference is



Now, the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is

where, a is first term and d is common difference.
Putting a=5 and d=-2, we get

It can also be written as


Here, n is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
Domain is the set of input values.
Therefore, the explicit equation is
or
and domain is all interest greater than or equal to 1.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
u had 11 and u spent 7
7/11 <=== the fraction of money u spent is 7 out of 11
There may be more than one way in which to answer this question. I will assume that the "equation" is a linear one: f(x) = mx + b.
Then (16/3) = m(1) + b
This is one equation in two unknowns, so it does not have a unique solution. Was there more to this problem than you have shared?
If we assume that the y-intercept (b) is zero, then y = mx, and
16/3 = 1m, so that m = 16/3, and so y = (16/3)x.
