How many terms are in the arithmetic sequence 7, 1, −5, …, −161?

Mathematics
1 answer:
uranmaximum [27]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

• a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

d = 1 - 7 = - 5 - 1 = - 6 and a₁ = 7, a_{n} = - 161, hence

7 - 6(n - 1) = - 161 ← solve for n

7 - 6n + 6 = - 161

13 - 6n = - 161 ( subtract 13 from both sides )

- 6n = - 174 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

n = 29

There are 29 terms in the sequence

What is -16+4 (2g-18)=0
IgorLugansk [536]

-16 + 4(2g - 18) = 0

Distribute 4 inside the parentheses.

-16 + (8g - 72) = 0

Combine like terms (-16 - 72).

-88 + 8g = 0

Add 88 to both sides.

8g = 88

Divide both sides by 8.

\boxed {g=11}

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

n = - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Eight plus the quotient of a number and 3 is −2

Expressing in mathematical terms, we have;

8 + (n/3) = -2

To solve for n;

Multiply all through by 3.

3*8   +   3(n/3)  = 3 * (-2 )

24 + n = - 6

n = -6 - 24

n = - 30

The difference between a number and five equals three. Translate this sentence to an equation and then find the
laila [671]

Answer:

the equation will be:

\mathbf{x-5=3}

solving the equation we get x=8

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write equation for this sentence:

The difference between a number and five equals three.

Let number = x

So, the equation will be:

\mathbf{x-5=3}

Now, solving the equation to find value of x

x-5=3

Adding 5 on both sides

x-5+5=3+5\\x=8

So, solving the equation we get x=8

Option B is correct.

Which is the graph of y = 1/x?
irina1246 [14]

<u>answer:</u> the first graph

<u>explanation:</u>

it would not be the second one because it is a slope (y = mx + b) and so would be the third choice.

i don't think it would be the last one because it's going only up to 40. which the equation say only y = 1/x and it's not a big number equation.

hope this helps! ❤  from peachimin

i attached this image which is sorta similar to the the to this equation:
