Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there is no single number we can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next one, this is not arithmetic. That means it's geometric, if it's a sequence at all. To get from 2 to 6 we multiply by 3. To get from 6 to 18 we multiply by 3. To get from 18 to 54 we multiply by 3. Therefore, this is in fact geometric and the common ratio is 3. The standard form of a geometric explicit formula is
where n is the position of a number in the sequence, a1 is the first number in the sequence, and r is the common ratio. We have then
a1 = 2 and r = 3. Therefore, the explicit formula is
and you can use this to find the value of any number in the sequence. Very handy; much more so than the recursive formula, which requires that all the numbers in a sequence be found in order in order to get to a desired value.
Answer:
B.) -4
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
b is equal to the y-intercept.
Idk...
what did the doctor say?
I don't know about the first one but the second one is 34.9°. It would be that because are right angles add up to 90° and if you subract 55.1 and 90 it would equal 34.9. But this rule only works on right angles.
When 
, we have
and of course 3 | 6. ("3 divides 6", in case the notation is unfamiliar.)
Suppose this is true for 
, that
Now for 
, we have
so we know the left side is at least divisible by 
by our assumption.
It remains to show that
which is easily done with Fermat's little theorem. It says
where 
is prime and 
is any integer. Then for any positive integer 
,
Furthermore,
which goes all the way down to
So, we find that
