If 2k, 5k-1 and 6k+2 are the first 3 terms of an arithmetic sequence, find k and the 8th term
1 answer:
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The common difference d of an arithmetic sequence is
d = -
=
-
Substitute in values and solve for k, that is
5k - 1 - 2k = 6k + 2 - (5k - 1)
3k - 1 = 6k + 2 - 5k + 1
3k - 1 = k + 3 ( subtract k from both sides )
2k - 1 = 3 ( add 1 to both sides )
2k = 4 ⇒ k = 2
--------------------------------------------------------
The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is
=
+ (n - 1)d
= 2k = 2 × 2 = 4 and
d = 5k - 1 - 2k = 3k - 1 = (3 × 2) - 1 = 5
Hence
= 4 + (7 × 5) = 4 + 35 = 39

Answer:
The matrixes are in the explanation box.
1. A mapping of (x,y,z) to (x,y,0)
2. Is a mapping of (x,y,z) to (-x,-y,z)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the orthogonal projection onto the cy-plane to be a mapping of (x,y,z) to (x,y,0). Then we will have a transformation matrix that has the form below.
[1 0 0]
[0 1 0]
[0 0 1]
For the reflection in the z-axis,it is a reflection of (x,y,z) to (-x,-y,z). Our matrix will then have the form below
[-1 0 0]
[0 -1 0]
[0 0 1]
