Answer:

T_7 = 11

T_n = 2n- 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

S_n = n^2 -2n

T_n = S_n - S_{n-1}

Solving (a): T7

Substitute 7 for n in T_n = S_n - S_{n-1}

T_7 = S_7 - S_{7-1}

T_7 = S_7 - S_6

Calculate S7 and S6

S_n = n^2 -2n

S_7 = 7^2 - 2 * 7 = 35

S_6 = 6^2 - 2 * 6 = 24

So:

T_7 = 35 -24

T_7 = 11

Solving (b): Tn

T_n = S_n - S_{n-1}

Where S_n = n^2 -2n

CalculateS_{n-1}

We have:

S_{n-1} =(n-1)^2 - 2(n-1)

Open brackets

S_{n-1} = n^2 -2n + 1 -2n +2

S_{n-1} = n^2 -2n-2n + 1  +2

S_{n-1} = n^2 -4n + 3

So:

T_n = S_n - S_{n-1}

T_n = n^2 - 2n - (n^2 -4n + 3)

T_n = n^2 - 2n - n^2 +4n - 3

Collect Like Terms

T_n = n^2 - n^2- 2n  +4n - 3

T_n = 2n- 3

What is equation of the line that passes through the point (-3,8) and has an undefined slope
aniked [119]

The equation of line that passes through point (-3, 8) and has an undefined slope is x = -3

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that we have to find the equation of line that passes through point (-3, 8) and has an undefined slope

Since the line has an undefined slope. This informs us that it is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis and passing through all points in the plane with the same x-coordinate.

If the slope of the line is undefined, then, by definition the line is a vertical line.

For a vertical line, the value of  x  is the same for each and every value of  y

Given point is (x, y) = (-3 , 8)

Because the value of  x  in the point provided in the problem is -3, we get

Equation of line is : x = -3

Which values of m and b will create a system of equations with no solution? Select two options. y = mx + b y = –2x + A system of
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

m = -2 and b = -1/3

m = -2 and b = -2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x - 1/3

y = -2x - 2/3

This system has no solutions because y cannot be 2 different values at once.

352, 345, 338, ...<br> Find the 43rd term.
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first term = a = 352

Common difference = d = second term - first term

                                  = 345 - 352

                                   = (-7)

nth term = a + (n-1)*d

43rd term = 352 + (43-1)*(-7)

                 = 352 + 42 *(-7)

                  = 352 - 294

                  = 58
