Write a rule for the nth term of the sequence.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Helga [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The rule for given sequence is: a_n = -27+16n

And the 100th term is: 1573

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

-11, 5, 21, 37, 53, ...

Here

a_1 = -11\\a_2 = 5\\a_3 = 21\\a_4 = 37

First of all, we have to find if this is an arithmetic sequence

For that purpose, the common difference has to be found. Common difference, denoted by d, is the difference between consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence

So,

d = a_2 -a_1 = 5-(-11) = 5+11 = 16\\d = a_3 -a_2 = 21-5 = 16\\d = a_4-a_3 = 37-21 = 16

As the common difference is same, the sequence is an arithmetic sequence

General rule for arithmetic sequence is:

a_n = a_1+(n-1)d

Putting values

a_n = -11+(n-1)(16)\\a_n = -11+16n-16\\a_n = -27+16n

For 100th term,

Putting n=100

a_{100} = -27+16(100)\\a_{100} = -27+1600 = 1573

Hence,

The rule for given sequence is: a_n = -27+16n

And the 100th term is: 1573

Find two numbers that have a sum of -2 and a product of -48 (please show work if possible)​
andreev551 [17]

Answer: -8 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

factors of 48: 1,2,4,6,8,12,24,48

1 x 48

2 x 24

4 x 12

6 x 8

for a negative product, one of the factors must be negative and the other positive.

for two number to have a sum of -2, the greater number must be the negative number, and both numbers should have be two values apart (ex. 6 and 8, 3 and 5, 12 and 14, etc.). In this case, 8 would have to be negative whereas 6 will be left positive.

and then we check:

-8 x 6 = 48

-8 + 6 = -2

If the graph of an equation is symmetric with respect to the y-axis and 6 is an x-intercept, name another x-intercept
givi [52]
-6 because for every value (x,y) there is another value (-x,y) so for the value (6,0) there must also be a value (-6,0). That is what the definition of y-axis symmetry is, it is also known as being an "even" function if it has this type of symmetry. Look at the graph of y=(x^2)-36 to see how this works.
