Answer:

a) the common difference is 20

b) $x_8=115 , x_{12}=195$

c) the common difference is -13

d) $a_{12}=52, a_{15}=13$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) what is the common difference of the sequence xn

Looking at the table, we get x_3=16, x_4=36 and x_5= 56

Deterring the common difference by subtracting x_4 from x_3 we get

36-16 =20

So, the common difference is 20

b) what is x_8? what is x_12

The formula used is: $x_n=x_1+(n-1)d$

We know common difference d= 20, we need to find $x_1$

Using $x_3=16$ we can find $x_1$

$x_n=x_1+(n-1)d\\x_3=x_1+(3-1)d\\15=x_1+2(20)\\15=x_1+40\\x_1=15-40\\x_1=-25$

So, We have $x_1 = -25$

Now finding $x_8$

$x_n=x_1+(n-1)d\\x_8=x_1+(8-1)d\\x_8=-25+7(20)\\x_8=-25+140\\x_8=115$

So, $\mathbf{x_8=115}$

Now finding $x_{12}$

$x_n=x_1+(n-1)d\\x_{12}=x_1+(12-1)d\\x_{12}=-25+11(20)\\x_{12}=-25+220\\x_{12}=195$

So, $\mathbf{x_{12}=195}$

c) what is the common difference of the sequence $a_m$

Looking at the table, we get a_7=104, a_8=91 and a_9= 78

Deterring the common difference by subtracting a_7 from a_8 we get

91-104 =-13

So, the common difference is -13

d) what is a_12? what is a_15?

The formula used is: $a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

We know common difference d= -13, we need to find $a_1$

Using $a_7=104$ we can find $x_1$

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_7=a_1+(7-1)d\\104=a_1+7(-13)\\104=a_1-91\\a_1=104+91\\a_1=195$

So, We have $a_1 = 195$

Now finding $a_{12}$ , put n=12

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_{12}=a_1+(12-1)d\\a_{12}=195+11(-13)\\a_{12}=195-143\\a_{12}=52$

So, $\mathbf{a_{12}=52}$

Now finding $a_{15}$ , put n=15

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_{15}=a_1+(15-1)d\\a_{15}=195+14(-13)\\a_{15}=195-182\\a_{15}=13$

So, $\mathbf{a_{15}=13}$

Compare simplifying before multiplying fractions with simplifying after multiplying the fractions

Kipish [7]

We will start using a new way to indicate simplifying fractions. When a numerator or
a denominator gets simplified, we will cross it out with a slash and write the new
numerator or denominator next to it (either above it or below it).The number you divide by (the 4) does not get indicated in any way! You only
think about it in your mind: “I divide 12 by 4, and get 3. I divide 20 by 4, and get 5.”You may not see any advantage over the “old” method yet, but this shortcut will
come in handy soon.

Expres each of the folowing as a single matrix.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}6&-3\\10&-1\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2&8\\3&-12\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&5\\13&-13\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have two matrices:

$A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right]\\and\\B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}e&f\\g&h\end{array}\right]\\\\\\A+B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}a+e&b+f\\c+g&d+h\end{array}\right]$

We have:

$A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}6&-3\\10&-1\end{array}\right]\\and\\B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2&8\\3&-12\end{array}\right]$

And we need to express as a single matrix:

$A+B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}6&-3\\10&-1\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2&8\\3&-12\end{array}\right]\\\\\\A+B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}6+(-2)&-3+8\\10+3&-1+(-12)\end{array}\right]\\\\\\A+B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}6-2&5\\13&-1-12\end{array}\right]\\\\\\A+B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&5\\13&-13\end{array}\right]$

The answer is:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}6&-3\\10&-1\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2&8\\3&-12\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&5\\13&-13\end{array}\right]$

It is expressed as a single matrix.
