Answer: 17</h3>
=========================================================
Work Shown:
a1 = 3 = first term
d = 2 = common difference (since we add 2 to each term to get the next one)
Let's compute the nth term.
an = a1 + (n-1)*d
an = 3 + (n-1)*2
an = 3 + 2n-2
an = 2n+1
-----------------------
To check things so far, we can plug in something like n = 2
an = 2n+1
a2 = 2*2+1
a2 = 5
Showing that the 2nd term is 5, which matches with the sequence given to us
Let's check n = 3
an = 2n+1
a3 = 2*3+1
a3 = 7
That matches as well. I'll let you check the others.
-----------------------
Plug in n = 8 to find the 8th term
an = 2n+1
a8 = 2*8+1
a8 = 17
The eighth term is 17, which is the final answer.
-----------------------
You could extend out the given sequence by adding 2 each time until you reach the 8th term
3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17
Though this method is slow if you need to find say the 38th term
⓵ You need to solve the left side first in order to isolate the × and find it’s value :
-7× + 6 = 27
-6 -6
↓
-7× = 21
÷-7 ÷-7
↓
× = -3
If you find it too difficult to divide a number by a negative, just divide 21 by 7 and always remember that when dividing, when the signs are different the answer is negative. So knowing that you could just divide 21 by 7, which is 3, and add a negative sign in front!
I hope this helped, if there’s anything let me know! ☻
Even though the numbers are blurry the way you would answer this is by adding the two other lengths that look about the same as the missing length <span />
Answer:
slope = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 2)
m = = = 2
Answer:
5 and 13
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate (w ○ u)(8) , evaluate u(8) then substitute the value obtained into w(x) , that is
u(8) = = 8 + 9 = 17 , then
w(17) = = = 5
---------------------------------------
To evaluate (u ○ w )(8) , evaluate w(8) then substitute the value obtained into u(x) , that is
w(8) = = = 4 , then
u(4) = 4 + 9 = 13
