What is the explicit formula for this sequence?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ddd [48]3 years ago

Answer:

a_n=-7+4(n-1)

or

a_n=-7+(n-1)(4)

Step-by-step explanation:

-7,-3,1,5,... is a arithmetic sequence.

Arithmetic sequences have a common difference. That is, it is going up by 4 each time.

When you see arithmetic sequence, you should think linear equation.

The point-slope form of a line is y-y_1=m(x-x_1).

m is the common difference, the slope.

Any they are using the point at x=1 in the point slope form.  So they are using (1,-7).

So let's put this into our point-slope form:

y-(-7)=4(x-1)

y+7=4(x-1)

Subtract 7 on both sides:

y=-7+4(x-1)

So your answer is

a_n=-7+4(n-1)

2. If you pay a one-time fee of $30, you can
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

One time fee = $30

Reduced price of ticket after one time fee payment = $17

Regular ticket cost = $25

Write an inequality that can be used to determine the number of reduced price concert tickets you would need to purchase in order for the total cost to be less expensive than the same number of regular tickets

Let the number of tickets needed to purchase = t

Reduced ticket = 30 + 17t

Regular ticket = 25t

30 + 17t < 25t

30 < 25t - 17t

30 < 8t

30/8 < 8t/8

3.75 < t

t > 3.75

Hence number of ticket must be greater than 3.75

t = 4
