This equation is telling you to subtract the value of f(x) from the value of g(x).
f(x)= x + 2
g(x) = 3x + 5
so x + 2 - 3x -5 = -2x-3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The recursive form is a(n + 1) = a(n) + 2, with a(1) = 8.
The next term is a(6) = a(5) + 2, which heere is a(6) = 16 + 2 = 18
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is given by

where
b is the base
h is the height
Here we have an equilateral triangle, which has the 3 sides of the same length.
Let's call L the length of one side.
We know that the perimeter of the triangle is
p = 9 in
The perimeter is the sum of the three sides, so:

Therefore, we find the length of the side:

Therefore the length is the base of the triangle,

The height can be calculated by considering half triangle: the hypothenuse is equal to L, while one side is equal to half the base (b/2), therefore the height is given by Pythagorean's theorem:

Therefore, the area of the triangle is:

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Arithmetic Sequences
</u>
The arithmetic sequences are identified because any term n is obtained by adding or subtracting a fixed number to the previous term. That number is called the common difference.
The equation to calculate the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

Where
an = nth term
a1 = first term
r = common difference
n = number of the term
The sum of the n terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

We are given the first two terms of the sequence:
a1=5, a2=8. The common difference is:
r = 8 - 5 = 3
Thus the general term of the sequence is:


The formula for the sum is:


Operating:

The difference in temperatures is 54+12, so the difference is 66
