<span> To get an explicit formula, we need to find an expression which gives the n-th term without having to compute earlier terms in the sequence. Looking at the numbers, and from the recursive formula, we see that the sequence is built by subtracting n from the previous term. This is similar to the triangular number sequence 1,3,6,10,15,... which has the explicit formula a_n = n(n+1)/2. In our case we are subtracting n from the previous term, so we multiply by -1/2 instead of 1/2. However, we also need to add a constant term to reproduce the numbers of the sequence. We can write a_1 = -1(2)/2 + c = 8. Therefore, c = 9.
So the explict formula is:
a_n = -n(n+1)/2 + 9</span>

Why does it make sense that 4 x (-3) and -3 x 4 have the same product?

Answer:

hello!!!

We will learn it simple method,we know that multiplication of whole numbers is repeated addition. For example

3*4= 4+4+4

in this same way we can say that

[-12]=(-3)+(-3)+(-3)+(-3)

also,

4(*-3)=(-12)

for the second equation we can take it same as the above one

So it make no diffrence when we multiplied integers as (positive)*(negative) OR (NEGATIVE)*(POSITIVE)

And so now we can say

FOR ANY TWO POSITIVE INTEGER a and b WE CAN SAY

 (-a) *(b) = (-b)*(a) = -(a*b)

HOPE FULLY U MAY LIKED MY ANSWER GIVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND IF WANTS ANYTHING OTHER YOU MAY ASK ME IN COMMENT

Find the distance between the points (1, 3) and (-7, 2).<br> V65<br> V37<br> V17
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

\sqrt{65}

Step-by-step explanation:

distance between 2 points:

d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}\\ \\d=\sqrt{(-7-1)^{2}+(2-1)^{2}}\\\\d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(1)^{2}}\\\\d=\sqrt{65}
