What is the recursive rule for the sequence?
1 answer:
Answer : option d
4.4, 5.8, 7.2, 8.6, 10, …
First we find the common difference between two terms
5.8 - 4.4 = 1.4
7.2 - 5.8 = 1.4
8.6 - 7.2 = 1.4
10 - 8.6 = 1.4
So common difference is 1.4
To find recursive rule, we add the difference with previous term
Recursive rule is
a1 is the first term so a1= 4.4
d is the difference = 1.4
So recursive rule is
, where a1 = 4.4

1. consider one angle of a (convex) heptagon. From that angle you can construct 7-3=4 diagonals. (-3 because we cannot create diagonals with the adjacent vertices and the angle itself )
2. 4 diagonals create 5 triangular regions. (check the picture)
3. So the sum of the measures of the interior angles of the heptagon is 180°*5=900°.
4. The measure of the remaining 7th interior angle is 900°-(120+150+135+170+90+125)°=110°.
5. The largest exterior angle is when the interior angle is the smallest.
6. The smallest interior angle is 90°, so the largest exterior angle is 180°-90°=90°
Answer: 90°
