Answer:

- 3, - 1, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the first 3 terms substitute n = 1, 2, 3 into the formula

a₁ = 2(1) - 5 = 2 - 5 = - 3

a₂ = 2(2) - 5 = 4 - 5 = - 1

a₃ = 2(3) - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1

The first 3 terms are - 3, - 1, 1

Write an equation of a line perpendicular to y=4x-3 that contains the point (0,7)

ExtremeBDS [4]

Let $k:y=m_1x+b_1$ and $l:y=m_2x+b_2$

$l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}$

We have

$y=4x-3\to m_1=4$

Therefore

$m_2=-\dfrac{1}{4}$

We have the equation of a line:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+b$

Put the coordinates of the point (0, 7) to the equation of a line:

$7=-\dfrac{1}{4}(0)+b\\\\\7=b\to b=7$

Answer: $\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+7}$

Answer:

TE=11

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+6x=x+14\\x^2+6x-x-14=0\\x^2+5x-14=0\\(x-2)(x+7)=0\\x=2\\x=-7\\$

(you can't use -7 cuz that would make TE a negative distance and that's a nono)

$x=2\\TE=6(2)-1\\=12-1\\=11$
