The equation for finding the equation of an arithmetic sequence is an=a1+(n-1)d, where n is the input for the sequence, a1 is the first term, and d is the difference between each term.
a1= 1/4
d= 1/4
an= 1/4 + (n-1)(1/2) - First you need to distribute the 1/2 to both the n and -1 to get: an= 1/4 + 1/2n -1/2.
Then you need to add like terms (1/4-1/2) to get an=1/2n-1/4. Hope this helps!
B(5,1) I’m smart and don’t worry the answer is correct
Since we are given that the relationship between x and y
is linear. Therefore this means that the given equation takes the form of:
y = m x + b
where,
b is the y intercept of the equation
m is the slope of the equation
However we should take note that the slope m is directly
proportional to the coefficient of correlation. Since our coefficient of
correlation is negative, this only means that the value of y is decreasing with
increasing x, hence plot of y and x is descending with increasing x.
Furthermore, this also tells that for every 1 unit increase of x, there is a
0.75 units decrease of y.
The difference could be that it is more difficult than multiplying improper/regular fractions. Multiplying improper/regular fractions makes it much easier by just multiplying the numerator and denominator of the fractions while mixed fractions require more steps. After multiplying the fractions you just need to simplify.
