Find the 3rd term in the sequence

Mathematics
1 answer:
klemol [59]3 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

a(n) = a ( n - 1) - 17

a(1) = 20

a(2) = a ( 2 - 1) - 17

= a (1) - 17

= 20 - 17

= 3

Now

a(3) = a ( 3 - 1 ) - 17

= a (2) - 17

= 3 - 17

= - 14

Hope it will help you.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

31 scientific calculators

54 graphing calculators

Step-by-step explanation:

X = number of $15 calculators

Y = number of $67 calculators

X+Y = 85   then X = 85-Y

15X+67Y = 4083

substitute for X

15(85-Y)+67Y = 4083

1275 - 15Y + 67Y = 4083

reduce

52Y = 2808

Y = 54

X = 31

Write the equation of the linear and exponential functions that pass through the points (0,12) and (1,3).
Triss [41]
to find the equation of a linear equation given two points:
1) find the slope   y=mx+b
here's the equation: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
y2- y value of the 2nd point         y1- y value of 1st point
x2- x value of 2nd point             x1- x value of 1st point
1st point- (0, 12) 2nd point- (1,3)
so your slope equation is this: (3-12) / (1-0) or -9/1 or -9
m is -9
2) find the y intercept    y=mx+b
b is whatever y is when x is 0. There's a long way to find it, but you already have it, because one of your points is (0,12). They told you what y was when x was 0.
b is 12.
your linear equation is y=-9x+12
to find the equation of an exponential equation given two points:
1) find a         y=a(b)<span>×
</span>if one of your points has a 0 as the x value, the y value is a. you do have a point like this: (0,12) so...
<span>a is 12
</span>2) find b     y=a(b)<span>×
put what you know a is in the equation: y=12(b)</span><span>×
then put the x and y values of the other point in for x and y in the equation
so (1,3) 1 is x and 3 is y
3=12(b)^1
when the exponent is 1, it disappears:
3=12b
simplify: b= 3/12 or b=1/4

then put all that in the equation:
y=12(3/4)</span><span>×</span>
