Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
a(n) = (-n)^3 where n = 1,2,3,...
Discussion:
The pattern 1,8,27, 64... is immediately recognizable as the the cube of the positive integers. But this question has a minus sign appearing before each entry, suggesting we try this:
- 1 = (-1)^3
-8 = (-2)^3
-27 = (-3)^3
-64 = (-4)^3
That's what the problem statement asked for
. The answer is equivalently
-1 * (n^3)
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
Part A: one solution:
Part B: x = 3, y = 4.
Explanation:
1) Part A: how many solutions does the pair of equations for lines A and B have?
The solution of a system of equations in a graph is given by the intersetion of the curves that represent the equations.
In this case, there are two straight lines, which intersect in one and only one point.
Hence, the system has one solution.
2) Part B: what is the solution to the equations of lines A and B?
The solution is the pair of coordinates of the intersection point. It is (3, 4).
Therefore, the solution is x = 3, y = 4.
