Answer:
aₙ= -2n²
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2><u>Solution 1:</u></h2>
The sequence:
The difference between the terms:
- a₁= -2
- a₂= a₁ - 6 = a₁ - 2*3= a₁- 2*(2²-1)
- a₃= a₂ - 10 = a₁ - 16= a₁ - 2*8= a₁ - 2*(3²-1)
- a₄= a₃- 14= a₁ - 30= a₁ - 2*15= a₁ - 2*(4² -1)
- ...
- aₙ= a₁ -2*(n²-1)= -2 -2n² +2= -2n²
As per above, the nth term is: aₙ= -2n²
<h2><u /></h2><h2><u>Solution 2</u></h2>
The sequence:
- -2, -8, -18, -32, -50
- -2*1, -2*4, - 2*9, -2*25
- -2*1², -2*2², -2*3², -2*4², -2*5², ..., -2*n²
- aₙ= -2n²
<h3>Answer: A. 5/12, 25/12</h3>
============================
Work Shown:
12*sin(2pi/5*x)+10 = 16
12*sin(2pi/5*x) = 16-10
12*sin(2pi/5*x) = 6
sin(2pi/5*x) = 6/12
sin(2pi/5*x) = 0.5
2pi/5*x = arcsin(0.5)
2pi/5*x = pi/6+2pi*n or 2pi/5*x = 5pi/6+2pi*n
2/5*x = 1/6+2*n or 2/5*x = 5/6+2*n
x = (5/2)*(1/6+2*n) or x = (5/2)*(5/6+2*n)
x = 5/12+5n or x = 25/12+5n
these equations form the set of all solutions. The n is any integer.
--------
The two smallest positive solutions occur when n = 0, so,
x = 5/12+5n or x = 25/12+5n
x = 5/12+5*0 or x = 25/12+5*0
x = 5/12 or x = 25/12
--------
Plugging either x value into the expression 12*sin(2pi/5*x)+10 should yield 16, which would confirm the two answers.
There is no simpler ratio then 1:4. So the answer is 1:4.
Lol u thought I was writing an answer hahahaha
