This is an arithmetic sequence because each term is 7 greater than the previous term, so 7 is what is called the common difference...

Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=first term, d=common difference, n=term number.

We know a=1 and d=7 so:

a(n)=1+7(n-1)

a(n)=1+7n-7

a(n)=7n-6

The above is the "rule" for the nth term.

Convert 8^12 = 3x - 5 to corresponding logarithmic function.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$8^{12}=3x-5\quad :\quad x=\frac{8^{12}+5}{3}\quad \left(\mathrm{Decimal}:\quad x=22906492247\right)$

$8^{12}=3x-5\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}5\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\3x-5+5=8^{12}+5\\Simplify\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:} 3\\\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{8^{12}}{3}+\frac{5}{3}\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\x=\frac{8^{12}+5}{3}$
