Answer:

a_n represents a particular any term and a_{n-1} represents just previous term.

a_8=38

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given recursive formula,

a_n= a_{n-1}+5

a_n represents n^{th} \ term

and a_{n-1}represents just its previous term.

To find a_8, first five terms are given there. We need to find its previous terms a_6 \ and\ a_7

a_6 = a_{n-1}+5\\a_6= a_{6-1}+5\\a_6 = a_5 +5\\substitute \ a_5 =23\\a_6 = 23+5=28

Similarly,

a_7 = a_{n-1}+5\\a_7= a_{7-1}+5\\a_7 = a_6 +5\\substitute \ a_6 =28\\a_7 = 28+5=33

Similarly,

a_8 = a_{8-1}+5\\a_8= a_{8-1}+5\\a_8 = a_7 +5\\substitute \ a_7 =33\\a_8 = 33+5=38

Thus a_8 = 38 is the answer.

In rectangle ABCD, AC = -x + 21, BP = -9x + 19, and DP = -y + 5. Find the value of y.
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other

so

BP=\frac{1}{2}AC

DP=BP

step 1

Find the value of x

BP=\frac{1}{2}AC

substitute the given values

(-9x+19)=\frac{1}{2} (-x+21)

solve for x

Multiply by 2 both sides

-18x+38=-x+21

18x-x=38-21\\17x=17\\x=1

step 2

Find the value of y

DP=BP

we have

BP=-9x+19

DP=-y+5

substitute

-y+5=-9x+19

substitute the value of x

-y+5=-9(1)+19\\-y+5=10\\y=5-10\\y=-5

Find the coordinates of a point that divides the directed line segment PQ in the ratio 5:3. A) (2, 2) B) (4, 1) C) (–6, 6) D) (4
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete we need point P and point Q.

let us assume P is at (3,1) and Q is at (-2,4)

To find the coordinate of the point that divides a line segment PQ with point P at (x_1,y_1) and point Q at (x_2,y_2) in the proportion a:b, we use the formula:

x-coordinate:\\\frac{a}{a+b}(x_2-x_1)+x_1 \\\\While \ for\ y-coordinate:\\\frac{a}{a+b}(y_2-y_1)+y_1

line segment PQ  is divided in the ratio 5:3 let us assume P is at (3,1) and Q is at (-2,4). Therefore:

x-coordinate:\\\frac{5}{5+3}(-2-3)+3 \\\\While \ for\ y-coordinate:\\\frac{5}{5+3}(4-1)+1
