Let the first term be a(0).  Then the formula for a(n) is a(0)-18(n-1).

Check:  What's the first term?  Let n = 1:  a(1) = a(0)-18(1-1) = a(0) (correct)

What's the second term?    Let -n =2:  a(2) = a(0)-18(2-1) = a(0) - 18

and so on.

Answer : The an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence will be, a(n)=a-18\times (n-1)

Step-by-step explanation :

Arithmetic progression : It is a sequence of numbers in which the difference of any two successive number is a constant.

The general formula of arithmetic progression is:

a(n)=a+(n-1)d

where,

a(n) = nth term in the sequence

a = first term in the sequence

d = common difference

n = number of terms in the sequence

As we are given that:

Common difference = d = -18

Thus, the formula of arithmetic progression will be:

a(n)=a+(n-1)d

a(n)=a+(n-1)\times (-18)

a(n)=a-18\times (n-1)

For example:

Let n=1 :

a(n)=a-18\times (n-1)\\\\a(1)=a-18(1-1)=a

Let n=2 :

a(n)=a-18\times (n-1)\\\\a(2)=a-18(2-1)=a-18

Let n=3 :

a(n)=a-18\times (n-1)\\\\a(3)=a-18(3-1)=a-36

The sequence will be, a, (a-18), (a-36),.........

Thus, the an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence will be, a(n)=a-18\times (n-1)

Virty [35]

Answer:

7:12 a.m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Train to New York city leaves station every 7 minutes

Train to Boston leaves station every 6 minutes

Current time = 6:30 a.m

Time both will leave station together is obtained by finding the least common multiple of 6 and 7

Multiples of ;

6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60,...

7 = 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70,...

The least common multiple of 6 and 7 is 42.

Hence, both trains will leave the station together after 42 minutes ;

Current time + 42 minutes

6:30 a.m+ 42 minutes = 7:12 a.m
