Answer:

The first term is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for this kind of sequence (arithmetic) is a(n) = a(1) + (n-1)c, where c is the common difference.  Here, we have a(6) = -1 = a(1) + (6-1)(-3), or -1 +15 = a(1).  The first term is 14.

Write an equation of a line that passes through the given point and has slope m<br> (3,4) m=1/2
yanalaym [24]
Plug the point and the slope into point-slope form and simplify to get it in slope-intercept form.

\sf~y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where y1 is the y-value of the point, x1 is the x-value, and 'm' is the slope.

\sf~y-4=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-3)

Distribute 1/2:

\sf~y-4=\dfrac{1}{2}x-1.5

Add 4 to both sides:

\boxed{\sf~y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+2.5}

or

\boxed{\sf~y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+2\dfrac{1}{2}}

((Use the graph shown below to fill in the blank.))
Valentin [98]
The point (4,y) has a known x coordinate of x = 4. The y coordinate is unknown right now so we'll just call it y.

Draw a vertical line (see side note below) through 4 on the x axis. I've done so in red (see attached image). The red line crosses the graph at the point (4,1) so this tells us that y = 1

Answer: y = 1

Side Note: you don't have to draw a vertical red line but it's handy to see how it works out. After you get used to these types of problems, you can visually be able to see the answer without these extra lines.

To solve the equation 5sin(2x)=3cosx, you should rewrite it as___.​
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the equation:

5\sin(2x)=3\cos(x)

To do so, we can rewrite the equation.

Recall the double-angle for sine:

\sin(2x)=2\sin(x)\cos(x)

By substitution:

5\left(2\sin(x)\cos(x)\right)=3\cos(x)

Distribute:

10\sin(x)\cos(x)=3\cos(x)

We can subtract 3cos(x) from both sides:

10\sin(x)\cos(x)-3\cos(x)=0

And factor:

\cos(x)\left(10\sin(x)-3\right)=0

Hence, our answer is A.

*It is important to note that we should not divide both sides by cos(x) to acquire 10sin(x) = 3. This is because we need to find the values of x, and one or more may result in cos(x) = 0, and we cannot divide by 0. Hence, we should subtract and then factor.
