You could say that a(n) = 12 - 5n .

Then ...

a(1) = 12 - 5 = 7
a(2) = 12 - 10 = 2
a(3) = 12 - 15 = -3
and so on.
So it seems to work.

7, 2, -3, -8, -13
-5 -5 -5 -5

a(n) = a₁ + d(n - 1)
a(n) = 7 - 5(n - 1)
a(n) = 7 - 5(n) + 5(1)
a(n) = 7 - 5n + 5
a(n) = -5n + 7 + 5
a(n) = -5n + 12

Find the area of the shaded region.

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Area of shaded region = 134.13 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = Area of square - Area of circle

$= ( 25 \times 25) - ( \pi 12.5^2)\\= 625 - 490.87\\= 134.13 ft^2$

Which of the following is not an identity?

Shkiper50 [21]

A ) cos² x · 1 / sin x - 1 / sin x = - sin x
cos² x - 1 / sin x = - sin x
- sin² x / sin x = - sin x
- sin x = - sin x ( correct )
B ) sin x ( cos x / sin x + sin x / cos x ) = 1 / cos x
sin x · ( cos² x + sin²x ) / sin x cos x = 1 / cos x
sin x · 1 / sin x cos x = 1 / cos x
1 / cos x = 1 / cos x ( correct )
C ) cos² x - sin² x = 1 - 2 sin² x
1 - sin² x - sin² x = 1 - 2 sin² x
1 - 2 sin² x = 1 - 2 sin² x ( correct )
D ) 1/sin²x + 1/ cos²x = 1
cos²x + sin² x / sin² x cos² x = 1
1 / cos² x sin² x = 1
cos²x sin² x ≠ 1
Answer: D ) is not an identity.
