Find an explicit function rule for the sequence -3, 3, 9, 15,.... Use the formula a(n) = a(1) + (n-1)d and simplify fully.

1 answer:

6 0

A(1) = - 3 ;
a(2) = a(1) + ( 2 - 1 )d ;
3 = -3 + d ;
d = 6 ;
a(3) = a(1) + ( 3 - 1)d;
9 = - 3 + 2d ;
12 = 2d ;
d = 6 ;
a(4) = a(1) + ( 4 - 1 )d ;
15 = -3 + 3d ;
18 = 3d ;
d = 6 ;
Then, a(n) = - 3 + ( n- 1 )6 ;
a(n) = - 3 + 6n - 6 ;
a(n) = 6n - 9 is an explicit functin rule for the sequence -3, 3, 9, 15, ...

One solution to the equation is a + b + c = 10 is

Serga [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine placing 10 apples in a row.

We have an extra 2 baricades that we can place between any 2 apples, so that a total of 3 groups will be formed.

This is the same as choosing 2 of the 12 items to be barricades.

Hence the answer is 12C2 = 66.

Pls help i don’t know how to do this

Answer: $\displaystyle\\\frac{2\pi }{3},\ \frac{5\pi }{3} .$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle\\tan\theta=-\sqrt{3}\ \ \ \ 0\leq \theta\leq 2\pi \\\theta =\frac{2\pi }{3}+\pi N\ \ \ (N=0,\ 1,\ 2,\ 3\ ...)\\ N=0\\\theta=\frac{2\pi }{3} +\pi *0\\\theta=\frac{2\pi }{3}\ \ \ \ ( 0\leq \theta\leq 2\pi)\\ N=1\\\theta=\frac{2\pi }{3}+\pi *1 \\\theta=\frac{2\pi }{3} +\pi \\\theta=\frac{2\pi +3\pi }{3} \\\theta=\frac{5\pi }{3} \ \ \ ( 0\leq \theta\leq 2\pi)\\$

$N=2\\\theta=\frac{2\pi }{3}+2\pi \\ \theta=\frac{2\pi +3*2\pi }{3}\\ \theta=\frac{2\pi +6\pi }{3} \\\theta=\frac{8\pi }{3} \\\theta=2\frac{2}{3} \pi \ \ \ \ (\notin0\leq \theta\leq 2\pi).\\$
