<em><u>The recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:</u></em>

a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1 and n  = 1, 2, 3, ....

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

Given a sequence is:

3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35

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

7 - 3 = 4

11 - 7 = 4

15 - 11 = 4

19 - 15 = 4

23 - 19 = 4

27 - 23 = 4

31 - 27 = 4

35 - 31 = 4

Thus the difference between terms is constant

Thus the given sequence is arithmetic sequence

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>The nth term of arithmetic sequence is given by:</u></em>

a_n =a_1+(n-1)d

a_n = the nᵗʰ term in the sequence

a_1 = the first term in the sequence

d = the common difference between terms

Here in the given sequence

d = 4

a_1=3

Substitute in above formula,

a_n = 3 + (n-1)(4)\\\\a_n = 3 + 4n - 4\\\\a_n = 4n - 1

<em><u>Thus the recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:</u></em>

a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1 and n = 1, 2, 3, ......

100 points!!!
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

(1, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the system of equations is the point of intersection of the two lines.  From inspection of the graph, the point of intersection is at (1, 5).

<u>Proof</u>

The solution to a system of equations is the point at which the two lines meet.  

⇒ g(x) = f(x)

⇒ 3x + 2 = |x - 4| + 2

⇒ 3x = |x - 4|

⇒ 3x = x - 4   and   3x = -(x - 4)

⇒ 3x = x - 4

⇒ 2x = -4

⇒ x = -2

Inputting x = -2 into the 2 equations:

⇒ g(-2) = 3 · -2 + 2 = -4

⇒ f(-2) = |-2 - 4| + 2 = 8

Therefore, as the y-values are different, x = -2 is NOT a solution

⇒ 3x = -(x - 4)

⇒ 3x = 4 - x

⇒ 4x = 4

⇒ x = 1

Inputting x = 1 into the 2 equations:

⇒ g(1) = 3 · 1 + 2 = 5

⇒ f(1) = |1 - 4| + 2 = 5

Therefore, as the y-values are the same, x = 1  IS a solution

and the solution is (1, 5)

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line with slope –8 that contains the point j(–3, 2).
patriot [66]
The point-slope formula is y-y1=m(x-x1). You will then substitute into this equation. The answer will be y-2=-8(x+3).
