well, the recursive rule of aₙ = aₙ₊₁ + 7, where a₁ = 15, is simply saying that
we start of at 15, and the next term is obtained by simply adding 7, and so on.
well, that's the recursive rule.
so then let's use that common difference and first term for the explicit rule.
Answer:
NR = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that both trjangles are similar, therefore, it follows that their corresponding side lengths would be proportional to each other. Thus:
Cross multiply
(addition property of equality)
Divide both sides by 10
x = 7
✔️NR = 2x - 2
Plug in the value of x
NR = 2(7) - 2 = 14 - 2
NR = 12
