Answer:

The nth term of an AP will be 27 -7n.

Step-by-step explanation:

First five terms of the Arthemetic Sequence is given to us , which is 26 , 19 , 12 , 5

Hence here Common Difference can be found by subtracting two consecutive terms . Here which is 19 - 26 = (-7) .

Here first term is 26 .

And the nth term of an AP is given by ,

★ T_n = a + ( n - 1) d

Substituting respective values ,

⇒ T_n = a + ( n - 1 )d

⇒ T_n = 26 + (n - 1)(-7)

⇒ T_n = 26 -7n+1

⇒ T_n = 27 - 7n

<h3>Hence the nth term of an AP can be found using T_n = 27 - 7n. </h3>

Solve using quadratic formula 6x^2-x=2

Nadya [2.5K]

$6x^2-x=2\implies 6x^2-1x-2=0 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula} \\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{6}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-1}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-2}=0 \qquad \qquad x= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a}$

$x = \cfrac{ -(-1) \pm \sqrt { (-1)^2 -4(6)(-2)}}{2(6)}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{1+48}}{12} \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{49}}{12}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm 7}{12}\implies x = \begin{cases} \frac{8}{12}\to &\frac{2}{3}\\[1em] -\frac{6}{12}\to &-\frac{1}{2} \end{cases}$

Graph + > -1.

andrew-mc [135]

You have the right idea but the endpoint is at the wrong location. Instead, the green dot should go at -1. The shading is to the right. We use a closed filled in circle here (instead of an open hole) to tell the reader "include the endpoint". So -1 is part of the solution set.

In short, the graph consists of a closed filled in circle at -1 with shading to the right. This visually describes all values that are larger than -1, or equal to -1.
