I dont think this can be factored
A1 = 6 a5 = -6
a1 + d(n-1) = -6
6 +4d = -6
4d = -12
d = -3
a3 = a2 + d = -6 -3 = -9
The given sequence is not arithmetic sequence
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given sequence is:

We have to find if the above sequence is arithmetic sequence or not
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant
<em><u>Here in the given sequence</u></em>

<em><u>Let us find the difference between terms</u></em>




Thus the difference between terms is not constant
So the given sequence is not arithmetic sequence
Area= 1/2(height)×(base↓1+base↓2)
Area=1/2(3)×(8+11)
Area=1/2(3)×(19)
Area=1/2(57)
Area=57/2 OR 28.5
Thus, the area of the trapezium is 28.5inches^2
Answer:
Formula for the Arc length is given by:

As per the statement:
radius of circle(r) = 6 units
Angle (
) =
radian
Use conversion:

= 
then;
substitute these given values we have;
Use value of 

or

Simplify:

Therefore, the arc length of the arc substended in a circle with radius 6 units an angle of 7 pi/8 is 16.485 units
