Answer:

Tn = 64-4n

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an AP is expressed as:

Tn = a+(n-1)d

a is the common difference

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

Given the 6th term a6 = 40

T6 = a+(6-1)d

T6 = a+5d

40 = a+5d ... (1)

Given the 20th term a20 = -16

T20 = a+(20-1)d

T20 = a+19d

-16 = a+19d... (2)

Solving both equation simultaneously

40 = a+5d

-16 = a+19d

Subtracting both equation

40-(-16) = 5d-19d

56 = -14d

d = 56/-14

d = -4

Substituting d = -4 into equation

a+5d = 40

a+5(-4) = 40

a-20 = 40

a = 20+40

a = 60

Given a = 60, d = -4, to get the nth term of the sequence:

Tn = a+(n-1)d

Tn = 60+(n-1)(-4)

Tn = 60+(-4n+4)

Tn = 60-4n+4

Tn = 64-4n

Plot all ordered pairs for the values in the domain D: (-8, -4, 0, 2, 6)
alexdok [17]

All ordered pairs for the values in the domain will be (-8, -3), (-4, -1), (0, 1), (2, 2), and (6, 4).

<h3>What is coordinate geometry?</h3>

Coordinate geometry is the study of geometry using the points in space.

The function is given below.

y = (1/2) x + 1

Then the domain is D: (-8, -4, 0, 2, 6)

Then the ordered pair will be

For x = -8

y = (1/2)(-8) + 1

y = -3

For x = -4

y = (1/2)(-4) + 1

y = -1

For x = 0

y = (1/2)(0) + 1

y = 1

For x = 2

y = (1/2)(2) + 1

y = 2

For x = 6

y = (1/2)(6) + 1

y = 4

All ordered pairs for the values in the domain will be (-8, -3), (-4, -1), (0, 1), (2, 2), and (6, 4).

More about the coordinate geometry link is given below.
