LCM stands for least common multiple. We are being asked to find the lowest multiple that 6 and 15 have in common.
Multiples of a number (n) are integers that are the product of n and another number. Let's list the multiples of both 6 and 15:
6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36
15: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90
The LCM of 6 and 15 is 30.
Find the next two terms in the given sequence, then write it in recursive form. A.) {7,12,17,22,27,...} B.) { 3,7,15,31,63,...}

Answer:
A) a_n = 5n + 2
B) a_n = (2^(n + 1)) - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
A) The sequence is given as;
{7,12,17,22,27,...}
The differences are:
5,5,5,5.
This is an arithmetic sequence following the formula;
a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d
d is 5
Thus;
a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)5
Now, a_1 = 7. Thus;
a_n = 7 + 5n - 5
a_n = 5n + 2
B) The sequence is given as;
{ 3,7,15,31,63,...}
Now, let's write out the differences of this sequence:
Differences are:
4, 8, 16, 32
This shows that it is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2.
In the given sequence, a_1 = 3 and a_2 = 7 and a_3 = 15
Thus, a_2 = 2a_1 + 1
Also, a_(2 + 1) = 2a_2 + 1
Combining both equations, we can deduce that: a_(n + 1) = 2a_n + 1
Thus; a_n can be expressed as:
a_n = (2^(n + 1)) - 1
2/4 - 3/4 = -1/4 hope this helps...
19) 15 <= 9 + 3x
15) x = 23,24,25
17) x <= 115
9) Second line
11) g > 20, don't fill in dot, any number greater than 20
1) -3 + h<= 3.4
3) No, x > -2
5) x > 14, don't fill in dot, any number greater than 14
7) k<=20, fill in dot, 20 or any larger number
