This is an arithmetic sequence because each term is 7 greater than the previous term, so 7 is what is called the common difference...
Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=first term, d=common difference, n=term number.
We know a=1 and d=7 so:
a(n)=1+7(n-1)
a(n)=1+7n-7
a(n)=7n-6
The above is the "rule" for the nth term.
5/6 as there is 6 jumps and the dot is placed on the fifth therefore being 5/6
The answer for your question is (x,y)=(4,9)
Answer:
72-16
Step-by-step explanation:
Difference is represented by the subtraction of 2 numbers. If we want to represent the difference of 2 numbers, we need to subtract one number from the other number.
First term: a(1) = 4; common ratio: r = 2
Then:
a(n) = 4(2)^(n-1)
Check: Predict the 4th term using this formula:
a(4) = 4(2)^3 = 4(8) = 32 (correct)
