Given:

The given sequence is:

5,-2,-9,...

To find:

The recursive formula for a_n, the nth term of the sequence.

Solution:

We have,

5,-2,-9,...

Here, the first term is 5.

-2-5=-7

-9-(-2)=-9+2

-9-(-2)=-7

The common difference is -7.

The recursive formula for the nth term of the sequence is

a_n=a_{n-1}+d

Where, d is the common difference.

Putting d=-7 in the above formula, we get

a_n=a_{n-1}+(-7)

a_n=a_{n-1}-7

Therefore, the recursive formula for the nth term of the sequence is a_n=a_{n-1}-7.

2(5x+4) =10x+6 <br> is this equation always, sometimes or never true?<br> Asap please
frosja888 [35]
The equation is never true because you have to multiply 2 with all numbers in the parentheses. Therefore

2(5x +4) = 10x + 8.

Because 2 x 4 is not 6 but 8

Is there enough information to prove P is parallel to Q if so state the theorem or postulate?
stira [4]
Yes there is. i do not know the theorem but I know it's rule. If 2 lines intersect the same line, and they have an equal angle in the same quadrant then they are parallel. This is because their all of their angles would be equal and they are basically the same line but shifted over

Write the following equation in slope- intercept form 6x+2y=20
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

y = -3x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+2y=20

First, you want to subtract 6x from both sides.

2y=-6x+20

Now, you want to divide by 2 on both sides because you want to get y by itself.

y = -3x + 10
