Find an expression for the nth term ( tn ) in each of the following sequences:

Mathematics

Alexandra [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The expression for the nth term is Tn = 8n -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to find an expression for the nth term of the sequence.

Mathematically, the nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be expressed as;

Tn = a + (n-1)d

for T2, the equation is

a + d = 9

for T4, the equation is

a + 3d = 25

we can substitute the equation of T2 into T4 but we first need to rewrite T4

a + d + 2d = 25

9 + 2d = 25

2d = 25 -9

2d = 16

d = 16/2

d = 8

now since a + d = 9

a = 9-d

a = 9-8

a = 1

So the expression for the nth term would be;

1 + (n-1)8

1 + 8n - 8

= 8n -8+1

= 8n -7

Do 1.7 and 1.700 have the same value? In a full sentence l, explain your answer why or why not
lana [24]

Answer: Yes ,because it isn't the same the number since the number of digits aren't the same so you make it the same number of digits by putting 0 in the back so 1.7 turns to 1.700 to make it the same digits of 1.700.

A population of butterflies grows in such a way that each generation is simply 1.5 times the previous generation. There were 350
kap26 [50]

Answer:

378.5 or just 378

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear model with x representing the number of generations that's gone by, y is the number of butterflies after x number of generations has gone by, and the 350 represents the number of butterflies initially (before any time has gone by.  When x = 0, y = 350 so that's the y-intercept of our equation.)

The form for a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept, the initial amount when x = 0.

Our rate of change is 1.5 and the initial amount of butterflies is 350, so filling in the equation we get a model of y = 1.5x + 350.

If we want y when x = 19, plug 19 in for x and solve for y:

y = 1.5(19) + 350

y = 378.5

Since we can't have .5 of a butterfly we will round down to 378
