Answer:

a_n = -11-14n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a_1 = -25

a_n = a_{n-1}-14

Required

The explicit formula

First, calculate a_2

Set n=2; So:

a_2 = a_{2-1}-14

a_2 = a_{1}-14

Substitute -25 for a_1

a_2 = -25-14

a_2 = -39

Calculate the common difference (d)

d = a_2 - a_1

d = -39 --25

d = -14

So, the nth term is:

a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d

a_n = -25+ (n - 1)*-14

Open bracket

a_n = -25-14n + 14

Collect like terms

a_n = 14-25-14n

a_n = -11-14n

Use the given data to find the equation of the regression line. examine the scatterplot and identify a characteristic of the dat
kari74 [83]

Answer:

y = 1.5x + 3.2009  

Step-by-step explanation:

I plotted your points and drew a linear regression line.

Its equation is

y = 1.5x + 3.2009

The regression line ignores the fact that the points fall along a smooth curve.

A parabolic regression line fits the data much better.

The equation for that line is

y = - 0.1647x² + 4.1357x - 5.6946

It is the equation for a vertical parabola opening downward.

The inequality x + 2y ≥ 3 is satisfied by point (1, 1).<br> True<br> False
andre [41]
In the given statement above, in this case, the answer would be TRUE. It is true that the  inequality x + 2y ≥ 3 is satisfied by point (1, 1). In order to prove this, we just have to plug in the values. 1 + 2(1) <span> ≥ 3 
So the result is 1 + 2 </span> ≥ 3. 3 <span> ≥ 3, which makes it true, because it states that it is "more than or equal to", therefore, our answer is true. Hope this answer helps.</span>

Find the constant of variation (k) where y varies directly with x. y = 2, when<br> X = 6.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The graph below models the value of a $20,000 car t years after it was purchased.

                    Value of Car

A graph titled Value of Car has years on the x-axis and Dollars on the y-axis. A line curves down and goes through points (0, 20,000), (4, 10,000), and (14, 2,000).

Which statement best describes why the value of the car is a function of the number of years since it was purchased?

Each car value, y, is associated with exactly one time, t.

Each time, t, is associated with exactly one car value, y.

The rate at which the car decreases in value is not constant.

There is no time, t, at which the value of the car is 0.

D.) y= 0.3x

This is because slope is change in y over change in x, so we get 3/10 which is equivalent to 0.3
