Answer:
d = 7
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
Give a₁₀ = 67 and a₁ = 4 , then
a₁ + 9d = 67
4 + 9d = 67 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
9d = 63 ( divide both sides by 9 )
d = 7
Let the function be represented by f(x).
Multiplying the number x by 4 results in 4x. Subtracting 2 from results give 4x - 2. So the function becomes:
f(x) = 4x - 2
Finding the inverse function:
Replace f(x) by y, and isolate x on one side of the equation and find the inverse:
Yes the inverse function represents the reverse process. Original function involved multiplication by 4 and then subtraction of 2. Inverse function involves addition of 2 and then division by 4. So the inverse represents the reverse of the given process.
