This is an arithmetic sequence because we are adding the same amount each time. In this case, we are adding -4 to each term to get the next term
17 + (-4) = 13
13 + (-4) = 9
9 + (-4) = 5
and so on. The starting term is
The common difference is
The nth term of the arithmetic sequence can be found by this formula
For instance, if n = 2, then,
which matches up with the second term listed.
the solution is in the above picture.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Area of a circle = πr², where r means radius.
Step 1: converted diameter to radius.
diameter = 2 radius
In other way of writing, radius = diameter.
Step 2: substitute radius into the formula.
Area of a circle = π(d)²
Step 3: substitute π into the formula.
some question is given the value of π), if not substitute 3.14 for π.
Area of a circle = 3.14(d)²
Step 4: substitute d into the formula, then we can solve its area.
b. a. Circumference of a circle = 2πr, where r means radius.
Step 1: converted diameter to radius.
diameter = 2 radius
In other way of writing, radius = diameter.
Step 2: substitute radius into the formula.
C = 2π(d)
Step 3: substitute π into the formula.
some question is given the value of π), if not substitute 3.14 for π.
C = 2(3.14)(d)
Step 4: substitute d into the formula, then we can solve its circumference.
