Answer:

aₙ = (2n + 3)/4

<u>The first 5 terms:</u>

a₁ = (2*1 + 3) / 4 = 5/4
a₂ = (2*2 + 3) / 4 = 7/4
a₃ = (2*3 + 3)/ 4 = 9/4
a₄ = (2*4 + 3) / 4 = 11/4
a₅ = (2*5 + 3) / 4 = 13/4

aₙ = (n - 3)/(n - 2)

<u>The first 5 terms:</u>

a₁ = (1 - 3) / (1 - 2) = 2
a₂ = (2 - 3) / (2 - 2) = undefined
a₃ = (3 - 3)/ (3 - 2) = 0
a₄ = (4 - 3) / (4 - 2) = 1 / 2
a₅ = (5 - 3) / (5 - 2) = 2 / 3

Emery borrowed money from her brother to buy a new phone, and is paying off a fixed amount each week. After 2 weeks, she will ow

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: A. The original price was $608. B. $76 each week C. Quite useful, as it keeps track of the amount of money she still needs to owe each week.

Step-by-step explanation: For part A, 5 week subtracted by 2 weeks is 3 weeks. 456-228 is 228. Then divide 228 by 3 and you get $76. Then do 2x76 to get 152 and add it to 456, and you get 608.

What number goes on top and how do you solve it.

vekshin1

So basically, each number is equal to the two numbers below it added together.

See, 7 = 3+4, 8 = 5 +3, etc.

So, the top would be 16 + 17.

16 + 17 = 33

So 33 goes on top.

in a proportional relationship the ratio y/x is constant. Show that this ratio is not constant for the equation y=a-14

Colt1911 [192]

To show that the ratio $\frac{y}{x}$ is not constant for the function $y=a-14$ we only need to evaluate this function at 2 points and then show that the ratio is not the same for those two points. Note that here $a$ represents $x$ .

To find the counter examples here, I will use the values $a=20$ and $a=28$ . For $a = 20$ , the equation tells us that the output is

$y=20-14=6$ . For this value of $a$ the point is point is $(20,6)$ . The ratio $\frac{y}{x} =\frac{6}{20}$ . For the $a=28$ , $y=28-14=14$ . For this value of $a$ the point is $(28,14)$ . The ratio $\frac{y}{x} =\frac{14}{28} =\frac{1}{2}$ . Clearly this ratio is not constant for all ordered pairs.
