I'm assuming that you are talking about sequences <3
In the context of a recursive formula where we have "n-1" in sub-index of "a", you can think of "a" as the previous term in the sequence. In the context of an explicit formula like "-5+2(n-1)" "n-1" represents how many times we need to add 2 to the first term to get the nth term.
Dw if you don't understand, sequences and functions isn't an easy topic
Answer:
17 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
When you simplify 3/12, it's 1/4.
h/8 is equal to 1/4 so you want to multiply 2 for 1/4 which it becomes 2/8
Therefore h is 2
The answer is n=28;
1. Subtract 14 from both sides (-n/2 = -14)
2. Multiply by 2 on both sides to get rid of the fraction (-n = -28)
3. Divide by -1 to get n by itself (n = 28)
You could also eliminate step three by multiplying by -2 instead of just 2.
Hope this helps!
