The formula
a(n) = 2 - 5(n-1)
is in the form
a(n) = a1 + d(n-1)
where
a1 = first term = 2
d = -5 = common difference
The first term is carried over to the recursive formula. We start with a1 = 2. The next term after that is found by subtracting 5 from the previous term. So
second term = (first term) - 5
third term = (second term) - 5
and so on
The recursive step would be
a(n) = a(n-1)-5
So that's why the answer is choice C
The first equation, make the y as the subject. y = 3 + 5x, then substitute y in the second equation and you will get the value of x. then, substitute the x in the first equation (y = 3 + 5x)
The equation is 76*120/3.
76*120/3
9,120/3
3,040
The car will travel 3,040 yards in 120 seconds at that speed.
That is point slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
passes through the point (x1,y1) and has a slope that is m
