Answer:

A: an = 6n - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

third term in an arithmetic sequence is 9

a3 = a + 2d

a + 2d = 9

the fifth term is 21

a5 = a + 4d

a + 4d = 21

a + 2d = 9 (1)

a + 4d = 21 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) to eliminate a

4d - 2d = 21 - 9

2d = 12

d = 12/2

d = 6

Substitute d = 6 into (1)

a + 2d = 9 (1)

a + 2(6) = 9

a + 12 = 9

a = 9 - 12

a = -3

nth term of this sequence = a + (n - 1)d

= -3 + (n - 1)6

= -3 + 6n - 6

= 6n - 9

an = 6n - 9

2 Which of the following polynomials is not written in standard form?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is written in the order of the exponent <em>on</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>variable</em> from highest to lowest.

#1 exponents go 2, 1 , then zero. So, this is standard form.

#2 exponents go 2 then zero, so this is standard form.

#3 exponents go 1 then 2 then zero, so this is <em><u>not</u></em> in standard form.

#4 exponents go 3 to 2 to 1, so this is still in standard form.

hope this helps!

A(-5,-4) ——&gt; A’ is a glide reflection where the translation is (x,y)—-&gt;(x+6,y), and the line of reflection is y=3. What ar
Nastasia [14]

Solution:

The Point in the coordinate plane is A(-5,-4).

Perpendicular or shortest Distance from line y=3 that is (-5,3) to point (-5,-4) is

=\sqrt{(-5+5)^2+(3+4)^2}\\\\=7

When it is reflected through the line, y=3, the coordinate of point A (-5,-4) changes to (-5,3+7)= B(-5,10).

Now, the Point B is translated by the rule , (x,y)—->(x+6,y),

So,the point B is translated to, (-5+6,10)=(1,10)

Option C: (1,10) is the glide reflection of point A(-5,-4).
