Find an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence -5, 13, 31,

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago

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.

The volume of a rectangular prism can be found from the formula V=B•h
The base is the triangle
The area of the triangle can found using A=b•1/2h
13•1/2(8)=52
V=52 x h

julsineya [31]

From the figure, segment QP is in the ray RP and RP contains N and Q in between

so from the options, the two rays will be : ray QP and ray NP

For SU :

segment SU is in the ray RU and RU contains S and T in between,

so from the options again, the two rays will be : ray RU and ray SU

Answer:

Graph A

Step-by-step explanation:

y =  {x}^{2}  - 6x - 7 \\ plug \: y = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - 6x - 7 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - 6x + 9 = 7 + 9 \\ (x - 3)^{2}  = 16 \\ (x - 3) =  \pm 4 \\ x = 4 + 3 \: or \: x =  - 4 + 3 \\ x = 7 \: or \: x =  - 1

Its mean graph should intersect x axis at x = 7 and x = - 1. This everything is satisfied by graph A.
