Answer:

b(n) = -23 + 18n

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE - This is an arithmetic sequence, so each number is increasing by addition. If you were in a geometric sequence, however, you'd be multiplying. This means that the explicit formula for the geometric sequence you'll be learning later on will be different.

The formula for explicit formula is b(n)=b(1)+d(n-1). The variable d represents the common difference and the a is whatever number of the term you are using.

Since you have b(1), you look at what your first term is. Plug -5 into a(1).

To find your common difference, find 13-(-5). This is 18, and adding it to the others you can see that it continues.

So, plugging in what you have so far it looks like b(n) = -5 + 18(n - 1)

All we need to do now is simplify.

1. Distribute: -5 + 18n - 18

2. Add like terms: -23 + 18n

Hope this helped and made sense lol.

Please help me with this!!! i’m begging!
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Domain is 3 <x>_-2

Range is 6 <x>_-3 (the lines are supposed to be under the >. it means equal to)

Step-by-step explanation:

First look on the x-axis, is goes from 3 to -2. now look at the colored in dot. that means more than <em>or equal to. </em>So the sign of -2 is x >_ -2. put the 3 on the other side. It stops at three so the sign is > 3. so 3<x>_ -2

Do the same with the y-axis except look up and down instead of left and right. so the numbers are 6 and -3. Use the same method above. this is set builder notation.

Tossing 2 fair coins and both landing heads up what would be the fraction for that
Anon25 [30]
The chance of One heads occurring is 1/2.
The chance of the second occurring separately is 1/2 as well. Joint together, it is 1/2x1/2: which is 1/4.

So your answer is 1/4 chance


I hope this Helps!
