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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Explain two ways to find the LCM​
svp [43]

Answer:

1. List the first several multiples of each number.

Look for multiples common to both lists. ...

Look for the smallest number that is common to both lists.

This number is the LCM.

Find the GCF for the two numbers.

Divide that GCF into the either number; it doesn't matter which one you choose, so choose the one that's easier to divide.

Take that answer and multiply it by the other number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps!
