Answer:
The first term is 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
The common difference is 142 - 140 = 2 so we have
50th term = a1 + 2(50 -1) = 140 where a1 is the first term
a1 + 98 = 140
a1 = 140 - 98 = 42.
The question as presented is incomplete, here is the complete question with the multiple choice:
The sequence a1 = 6, an = 3an − 1 can also be
written as:
1) an = 6 ⋅ 3^n
2) an = 6 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
3) an = 2 ⋅ 3^n
4) an = 2 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
The correct choice is option 3) an = 2⋅3^n.
If we look at the initial sequence an = 3⋅an-1, and
a1 = 3⋅a0 = 6
a0 = 6/3
a0 = 2
We can now look at the sequence.
a0 = 2
a1 = 6
a2 = 18
a3 = 54
etc...
A common factor in each of those numbers is 2, so we can rewrite the sequence by factoring out 2.
a0 = 2⋅1
a1 = 2⋅3
a2 = 2⋅9
a3 = 2⋅27
The numbers being multiplied by 2 are all factors of 3. So we can rewrite the sequence again as:
a0 = 2⋅3^0
a1 = 2⋅3^1
a2 = 2⋅3^2
a3 = 2⋅3^3
This sequence can now be rewritten as an = 2⋅3^n.

Answer:
○ C. The lines are perpendicular.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for equations to be perpendicular, their <em>rate of changes</em> [<em>slopes</em>] must be OPPOSITE <em>MULTIPLICATIVE</em><em> </em><em>INVERSES</em>, which in this case is so:
− to +}
> OPPOSITE
+ to −}
MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE [RECIPROCAL]

Such as 1/2 ÷ 1/4, we flip the second fraction and then we simply multiply the numerators with each other and the denominator with each other then we get the answer 2
