ANSWER

The explicit rule for the sequence is

a_n=18+2.5n


EXPLANATION

The terms of the sequence are
15.5,13,10.5,8,5.5,3,...


The first term of the sequence is
a = 15.5
and the constant difference is
d =13 -  15.5 =  - 2.5
Since there is a constant difference, it means the sequence is an arithmetic progression.



The general formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by the formula,


a_n=a+(n-1)d





We substitute the above values to obtain,



a_n=15.5 - 2.5(n-1)



We expand to obtain,


a_n=15.5 - 2.5n + 2.5


This will simplify to,

a_n=18+2.5n


Therefore the correct answer is A.

I need help with this problem.<br> x3+4x
Yuki888 [10]

Answer: x=0 x=2i x=-2i

if your factoring: x(x^2+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

(if your solving for x)

x^{3} +4x\\x(x^{2} +4)\\\\x=0\\\\x=\frac{-b}{2a}\frac{+}{-} \frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\\\x=\frac{0}{2}\frac{+}{-} \frac{\sqrt{0^2-16}}{2} \\x={0}}\frac{+}{-} \frac{\sqrt{-16}}{2} \\

x={0}}\frac{+}{-} \frac{4i}{2} \\\\\\x=\frac{+}{-}2i

A used book store will trade 2 of its books for 3 of yours. If Val brings in 18 books to trade, how many books can she get from
Shalnov [3]
You need to set it up as a fraction and make the fractions equal each other. 
2/3 (2 of their books for 3 of yours)
x/18 (x amount of their books for 18 of yours)
(2/3)=(x/18)
multiply both sides by 18 
and you get 
36/3 which reduces to 12

so your answer is 12
