Consider the sequence: 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, ...The recursive formula for this sequence is:an = an-1 + 5In a COMPLETE sentence, expl

Answer:

$a_8=38$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Recursive sequence </u>

In a recursive sequence formula, each term $a_n$ is computed as a function of one or more previous terms. In the formula

$a_n=a_{n-1}+5$

n is the number of the term we want to calculate. If n=8, then the formula becomes

$a_8=a_{7}+5$

We can see $a_{n-1}$ is the previous term. It means we need $a_7$ to be able to compute $a_8$ . But we also need $a_6$ to compute $a_7$ and so on until some known data is reached. The question provides five terms, $a_5=23.$

$a_6=a_5+5=28$

$a_7=a_6+5=33$

$a_8=a_7+5=38$

$a_8=38$

Find an equivalent expression for each expression by simplifying. (3x - 5y) + 7y

sertanlavr [38]

This question is quite simple really. They are basically asking you to combine like terms. You have two different figures with the variable y, so you just combine the them. It would then be 3x + 2y. You cannot simplify this equation any further since there is nothing to solve for or anymore like terms to combine.
