What is the explicit formula for this sequence

Mathematics
1 answer:
-Dominant- [34]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the 3.

You know that there is a difference of 4 between (say) 2 and 5. The 3 is a sign that the sequence is increasing.  The members of the sequence are going up.

n - 1 means that the nth terms is calculated as an and uses the number of terms to be n-1. That means that the first term is a1 which is the starting point of the sequence.

The answer is an = a1 + (n-1)*d

d = 3

a1 = - 7

So let's try the formula out.

a4 = -7 + (4 - 1)*3

a4 = -7 + 3 * 3

a4 = -7 + 9

a4 = 2

Is 2 the 4th term in the series? Yes it is!

Jan uses 22.5 gallons of water in the shower. This amount is 7.5 gallons less than what she uses when washing her clothes. Write
arsen [322]

22.5 (shower) = X (variable used in place of the amount of water she uses to wash clothes) - 7.5 (the amount she used in the shower is 7.5 gallons less than she uses for washing clothes)

22.5 = X - 7.5 《 This is the equation.

Solve is by adding 7.5 to both sides to cancel out the negative 7.5 and you get (X = 30).

How do you factor this? x^{2} + 5 x- 9 = ?
Oksanka [162]
x^2+5x-9\\\\a=1;\ b=5;\ c=-9\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=5^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-9)=25+36=61 > 0\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{61}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2}\\\\x^2+5x-9=\left(x-\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2}\right)\left(x-\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2}\right)
