The fourth term of an arithmetic

Mathematics
1 answer:
yulyashka [42]3 years ago

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given AP where:</u>

  • a₄ = 2a₂ - 1
  • a₆ = 7

<u>To find</u>

  • a₁ = ?

<u>Since</u>

  • a₄ = a₁ + 3d
  • a₂ = a₁ + d
  • a₆ = a₁ + 5d

<u>Initial equations will change as:</u>

  • a₁ + 3d = 2(a₁ + d) - 1  ⇒  a₁ + 3d = 2a₁ + 2d - 1 ⇒ a₁ = d + 1
  • a₁ + 5d = 7 ⇒ a₁ = 7 - 5d

<u>Comparing the above:</u>

  • d + 1 = 7 - 5d
  • 6d = 6
  • d = 1

<u>Then:</u>

  • a₁ = d + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2
  • a₁ = 2

The first term is 2

Answer:

y = 5/8x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(8,2) and (-8,-8)

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = ( -8 -2)/ (-8 - 8)

m = (-10)/(-16)

m = 5/8

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 5/8(x - 8)

y - 2 = 5/8x - 5

y = 5/8x - 3
