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)

A rectangular piece of land is 73/3 meter long and 61/4 meter wide.Find it's perimeter. Please solve it
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

49 1/6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2(73/3) + 2(61/4)

= 146/3 + 61/2

= 48 2/3 + 30 1/2

= 48 4/6 + 30 3/6

= 48 + 7/6

= 48 + 1 1/6

= 49 1/6
