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

Please Show Work 6x(-4) Six times negative four.
Ainat [17]

Answer:

6 x (-4)

= (-24)

Step-by-step explanation:

when multiplying integers, you first need to multiply the numbers. Then you need to look at the signs if both numbers have the same signs or if it doesn't. if the signs are the same, the product is a positive . If the two numbers have different signs, you will get a negative product.

NOTE: if a number doesn't have a sign, it's a positive number
