Answer:

a_{n} = 12 -3(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{1}  = 12\\a_{n}  = a_{n-1} - 3

we have to find formula for nth term of series for this problem

a_{1}  = 12\\a_{2}  = a_{2-1} - 3 = a_{1}  -3 =  12 -3 = 9\\a_{3}  = a_{3-1} - 3 = a_{2}  -3 =  9 -3 = 6

Thus, we see series is 12, 9 ,6

Thus, we can see that series is decreasing by unit of 3.

and we know that when there is in increase or decrease in series by a a constant number then series is arithmetic progression series.

Hence, this is a decreasing AP series

In AP

nth term is given

nth term = a+(n-1)d

where a is the first term

d is the common difference

common difference is given by = nth term - (n-)th term

lets take 2nd and 1st term to get common difference.

d = 9-12 = -3

(note: this was obvious by looking at series itself that d is -3 as series was decreasing by 3 unit)

a = 12

thus, nth term = a +(n-1)d

nth term = 12 +(n-1)(-3)

nth term = 12 -3(n-1)

writing this in form of a_{n}

a_{n} = 12 -3(n-1)  Answer

Please help me asap and i will give you brainliest
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles XWY and ZWY are congruent because of AAS . the two 90 degree angles are congruent,∠xwy and ∠zwy are congruent because ∠xwz is being bisected, and wy is congruent with wy beacuse of the reflexive property. Since the two triangles are congruent zy must ve congruent to xy because of CPCTC. Since the two linew are congruent and xy=16, zy must also equal 16.

What two numbers multiply to -120 and add to -2
USPshnik [31]

Hello!

To answer this question we need to find the factors of -120.

The total set (both negative and postive! ) are the following:

  • 1, -120
  • 2, -60
  • 3, -40
  • 4, -30
  • 5, -24
  • 6, -20
  • 8, -15
  • 10, -12
  • 12, -10
  • 15, -8
  • 20, -6
  • 24, -5
  • 30, -4
  • 40, -3
  • 60, -2
  • 120, -1

After looking over all of these factors, we can see that 10 · -12 is equal to not only -120, but when the multiplication sign is replace by addition, it is equal to -2!

Hope this helps.
