The first 5 terms of a sequence are shown below:

nirvana33 [79]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the formula for the nth term ,

First , find the common difference or common ratio.

Common difference =

$T_2-T_1 \\ - 2 - 3 \\ = - 5$

Common ratio =

$T_2/T_1 \\ \frac{ - 2}{3}$

The common difference applies to the other given numbers for example :

$T_3- T_2 = - 7 - ( - 2) \\ = - 7 + 2 = - 5$

this proves that it is an arithmetic sequence and the given formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

T_n =a(n-1)d

Where n = no of terms

a= first term

d= common difference

Next, you will make a scatterplot. Name a point that will be on your scatterplot and describe what it represents.

klio [65]

The point (12, 190) means that the temperature after 12 hours is 190 degrees Celsius

<h3>How to make a scatter plot?</h3>

To do this, we make use of the following points

(12, 190), (14, 201), (15, 301), (16, 305), (18, 350), (20, 40), (25, 450)

Where x represents the number of hours and y represents temperature

See attachment for the scatter plot.

<h3>The description of a point</h3>

To do this, we make use of the point (12, 190)

This means that the temperature after 12 hours is 190 degrees Celsius
