Answer:
a₁₃ = - 27x - 41
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = - 3x + 7
d = a₂ - a₁ = - 5x + 3 - (- 3x + 7)
= - 5x + 3 + 3x - 7
= - 2x - 4
Then
a₁₃ = - 3x + 7 + 12(- 2x - 4)
= - 3x + 7 - 24x - 48
= - 27x - 41
Its line 1
if we expand the second and third expressions they come back to the first.
The last one is called the vertex form of a parabola
The value is c.89 since it’s the absolute value
The answer is 7 3/4.
Turn into improper fraction
= 77/8 − 15/8
= ((77 × 8) − (15 × 8)) / (8 × 8)
= (616 - 120) / 64
= 496/64
= 31/4
