Answer:
= - 1.5n - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the sequence is arithmetic with n th term ( explicit formula
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = - 7.5 and d = - 9 - (- 7.5) = - 9 + 7.5 = - 1.5
= - 7.5 - 1.5(n - 1) = - 7.5 - 1.5n + 1.5 = - 1.5n - 6

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Original position: base is 1.5 meters away from the wall and the vertical distance from the top end to the ground let it be y and length of the ladder be L.
Step-by-step explanation:
By pythagorean theorem, L^2=y^2+(1.5)^2=y^2+2.25 Eq1.
Final position: base is 2 meters away, and the vertical distance from top end to the ground is y - 0.25 because it falls down the wall 0.25 meters and length of the ladder is also L.
By pythagorean theorem, L^2=(y -0.25)^2+(2)^2=y^2–0.5y+ 0.0625+4=y^2–0.5y+4.0625 Eq 2.
Equating both Eq 1 and Eq 2: y^2+2.25=y^2–0.5y+4.0625
y^2-y^2+0.5y+2.25–4.0625=0
0.5y- 1.8125=0
0.5y=1.8125
y=1.8125/0.5= 3.625
Using Eq 1: L^2=(3.625)^2+2.25=15.390625, L=(15.390625)^1/2= 3.92 meters length of ladder
Using Eq 2: L^2=(3.625)^2–0.5(3.625)+4.0625
L^2=13.140625–0.90625+4.0615=15.390625
L= (15.390625)^1/2= 3.92 meters length of ladder
