Answer:

a(n) = -8n -9

a(28) = -233

Step-by-step explanation:

a(n) = a(1) + (n - 1)d

n is the nth term, a(1) is the first term, d is the common difference.

*d = -25 - (-17) = -8

a(n) = -17 + (n - 1)(-8)

= -17 + (-8n + 8)

= -17 - 8n + 8

= -8n - 9

For the 28th term

a(28) = -8(28) - 9

= -224 - 9

= -233

Ghella [55]

Answer:

x=180-68=112

So A and B are not correct.

180-112-27=41

y=41

So, C.

A wire is first bent into the shape of a square. Each side of the square is 9cm long. Then the wire is unbent and reshaped into

EastWind [94]

Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter of a square with sides of 9 cm is 36 cm so the rectangle must have the same perimeter

if the length of the rectangle is 13cm, its opposite side is also 13cm

add 13 + 13 to get 26

let 'n' = width of rectangle

perimeter = 26 + n + n

36 = 26 + 2n

2n = 10

n = 5

Determine the end behavior of the polynomial function. f(x)=-3x^4-2x^3+2x^2+ 3x +5 a) falls to the left and rises to the right b

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Option b is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to check the end behavior of a polynomial function we just check the leading term and its coefficient and the procedure is as follows:

Here we can see that highest exponent of the polynomial function is 4

therefore degree of the polynomial is 4. and therefore $-3x^4$ is leading term.

because of even degree it will be same from both ends that is either both sides rises or both sides falls. Since number in the front of leading is negative therefore it falls at both ends. that is falls to the left and falls to the right.

therefore option b is correct.
