The area of a trapezoid if found using the formula
A = (base1 + base2)/2 x height
Area = (3+5)/2 x 1.5
Area = 8/2 x 1.5
Area = 4 x 1.5
Area = 6 square feet.

now, what's the slope of a line parallel to that one above? well, parallel lines have exactly the same slope.
Given:
The given value is
.
To find:
The multiplicative inverse of
.
Solution:
We know that
is the multiplicative interval of
if
.
Let
be the multiplicative inverse of the given value
. Then,

Divide both sides by
.


Therefore, the multiplicative inverse of
is
. Hence the correct option is A.
If the pattern continues, so that each term is separated by a distance of 3, then the sequence is given by the recursive rule

From this definition, we can write
in terms of
:




and so on, up to

(notice how the subscript on <em>a</em> and coefficient on 3 add up to <em>n</em>)
or
