Given:
The arithmetic sequence is −15, −33, −51, −69.
To find:
The nth term of the arithmetic sequence.
Solution:
We have,
−15, −33, −51, −69
Here,
First term: a = -15
Common difference is



Now, nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

Substitute a=-15 and d=-18.



Therefore, the nth term of the given arithmetic sequence is
.
1. no because 2x+10 is not equal to 2x+7
2. no. you cant add una like terms so 4x+4 doesn’t equal 8x
3. yes. the terms still retain their same value although they are not in the same order
4. yes. when u distribute the -3, you get -3x-6 which is of course equal to -3x-6
Focus on triangles DFC and DFE:
- They are both right triangles because DF is perpendicular to EC
- DC=DE
- DF is a common side
So, the two triangles are congruent. It follows that CF=FE, and in particular

And since x=3, the length of EF is
