Answer:

y = 6x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is a linear function. This means it steadily increases or decreases through addition/subtraction by a constant amount. Here the sequence grows by adding 6 each time.

-11 + 6 = -5

-5 + 6 = 1

1 + 6 = 7

etc....

Since this is linear, its equation has the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is m = 6 and b = -11.

y = 6x - 11

levacccp [35]

2(3z-2)+8=34
6z - 4 + 8 = 34
6z + 4 = 34
6z = 34 -4
6z = 30
z =30/6
z = 5

Answer:

s= 15 (nearest integer), 14.8 (to nearest 10ths)

Step-by-step explanation:

here you need to apply the cosine rule,

${s}^{2} = {u}^{2} + {t}^{2} - 2ut \cos(s)$

substituting the values,

u= 13, t=5 and angle S as 60 and solving will give you the answer 14.76 (2 dp)

What is the measure

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

a+b = 90

78+b = 90

Subtract 78 from each side

78-78+b = 90-78

b = 12
