Answer:
= - 7n - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is
- 15 - (- 8) = - 22 - (- 15) = - 29 - (- 22) = - 36 - (- 29) = - 7
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = - 8 and d = - 7 , then
= - 8 - 7(n - 1) = - 8 - 7n + 7 = - 7n - 1
40 is the answer =3 hope it works
Lets see!
We need to use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) to check.
So..
15^2+ 17^2 = 19^2
225+ 289= 361
Hm 225 and 289 do NOT equal 361 therefore it is NOT a right triangle.
Solve the parenthesis firt.
17-9 = 8
3*2 = 6 now multiply 6 by 8 that equals 48
now divide 48 by 2
48÷2= 24
