Find a general term a for the geometric sequence: a3=2, a4=17

Mathematics

A(n)=a(1)+d(n-1)

a(1)=8

a(4)= 8+d(4-1)
17=8+d*3
17-8=3d
9 =3d
d=3

a(n)= 8 +3(n-1)   Sometimes it is required like this.

Sometimes , it is required to simplify more
a(n)=8+3n-3=5+3n
a(n)=5+3n

What is the slope of the equation y – 3 = –4(x – 5)?
Gemiola [76]
Find the x and y intercepts or any other 2 points. (I advise you finding the y intercept though.)

then calculate for slope using:
y(2) - y(1)
________
x(2) - x(1)

The (2) and (1) are not exponents they are small numbers at the bottom of the numbers.

The slope is: 4

Which equations and/or functions represent the graphed line? Select four options. f(x) = 0.2x - 4
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

f(x) = 0.2x - 4  (incorrect)

f(x) = 0.5x + 2  (correct)

f(x) = 1/2x + 2      (correct)

y – 3 = 1/2(x – 2)     (correct)

y – 1 = 0.5(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1 : Find two coordinates</em>

(0, 2) (-4, 0)

<em>Step 2 : Find the slope</em>

Slope = m = Y2-Y1/X2-X1

m = 0-2/-4-0

m = -2/-4

m = 1/2 or 0.5

<em>Step 3 : Find the y-intercept</em>

Y-intercept is where the line intersects the y-axis

c = 2

<em>Step 4 : Form the equation y=mx + c</em>

<em>Given Equations and their slope intercept forms:</em>

1) f(x) = 0.2x - 4

This is incorrect because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

2) f(x) = 1/2x + 2

y = 1/2x + 2

This is correct because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

3) f(x) = 0.5x + 2

y= 0.5x + 2 (As m=0.5)

This is correct because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

4) y – 3 = 1/2(x – 2)

Rearranging in slope intercept form:

y-3=1/2x - 1

y = 1/2x-1+3

y = 1/2x + 2

This is correct because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

5) y – 1 = 0.5(x + 2)

y -1 = 0.5x+1

y = 0.5x +1+1

y = 0.5x + 2

This is correct because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2
