The first four terms of sequence is 20, -10, -40, -70

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to find the first four terms of sequence

<em><u>Given recursive formula is:</u></em>

a_n = 20 - 30(n-1)

<em><u>To find the first term, substitute n = 1</u></em>

a_1 = 20-30(1-1)\\\\a_1 = 20-30(0)\\\\a_1 = 20

Thus the first term of sequence is 20

<em><u>To find the second term, substitute n = 2</u></em>

a_2 = 20-30(2-1)\\\\a_2 = 20-30(1)\\\\a_2 = 20-30\\\\a_2 = -10

Thus the second term of sequence is -10

<em><u>To find the third term, substitute n = 3</u></em>

a_3 = 20-30(3-1)\\\\a_3 = 20-30(2)\\\\a_3 = 20-60\\\\a_3 = -40

Thus the third term of sequence is -40

<em><u>To find the fourth term, substitute n = 4</u></em>

a_4 = 20-30(4-1)\\\\a_4 = 20-30(3)\\\\a_4 = 20-90\\\\a_4 = -70

Thus the first four terms of sequence is 20, -10, -40, -70

The functions r and s are defined as follows.
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

r(s(-2)) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given these following functions:

r(x) = -2x + 2

s(x) = x^2 - 2

Find the value of r(s (-2)).

First we find the composition of r and s functions. It is:

r(s(x)) = r(x^2-2) = -2(x^2-2) + 2 = -2x^2 + 6

At x = -2

r(s(-2)) = -2(-2)^2 + 6 = -8 + 6 = -2

r(s(-2)) = -2

Write an equation in slope intercept form that goes through (-1,6) and (3,-2)
pochemuha
<h2>Answer:</h2>

First, we need to use <u><em>slope formula*</em></u> to find the slope.

m = \frac{-2 - 6}{3 - (-1)} = \frac{-8}{4} = -2

Second, we use the slope we found and <em>ONE</em> of the 2 points listed and plug it into <u><em>slope-intercept form**</em></u> to solve for <u><em>b</em></u>.

Here is what we have so far:

  • m = -2

I'm going to use this point:

  • x = 3
  • y = -2

Here is how to find <em>b</em>:

-2 = -2(3) + b\\\\-2 = -6 + b\\\\4 = b

Finally, we put all of it together and we have our equation.

y = -2x + b

*Slope formula: <em>m = y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁</em>

**Slope-intercept form: <em>y = mx + b</em>

<em></em>
