Convert all numbers into fractions:
-29/6
-31/9
Find a common denominator
-87/18
-62/18
Perform the operation
-149/18
Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
Establish the nth term formula
There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is
d = - 5 - (- 9) = - 1 - (- 5) = 3 - (- 1) = 7 - 3 = 4
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = - 9 and d = 4 , then
= - 9 + 4(n - 1) = - 9 + 4n - 4 = 4n - 13
Equate 4n - 13 to 301
4n - 13 = 301 ( add 13 to both sides )
4n = 314 ( divide both sides by 4 )
n = 78.5
Since n is not an integer then 301 is not in the sequence
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Pattern 1 consists of
small squares (here n = 1 and
).
Pattern 2 consists of
small squares (here n = 2 and
).
Pattern 3 consists of
small squares (here n = 3 and
).
Thus, pattern n consists of
small squares.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Use both points and find the slope:</u>
- m = (1 - 4) / (8 - 4) = - 3/4
<u>Find the line, using point-slope form and point (4, 4):</u>
- y - 4 = - 3/4(x - 4)
- y - 4 = - 3/4x + 3
- y = - 3/4x + 7
