Answer:
aₙ= -2n²
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2><u>Solution 1:</u></h2>
The sequence:
The difference between the terms:
- a₁= -2
- a₂= a₁ - 6 = a₁ - 2*3= a₁- 2*(2²-1)
- a₃= a₂ - 10 = a₁ - 16= a₁ - 2*8= a₁ - 2*(3²-1)
- a₄= a₃- 14= a₁ - 30= a₁ - 2*15= a₁ - 2*(4² -1)
- ...
- aₙ= a₁ -2*(n²-1)= -2 -2n² +2= -2n²
As per above, the nth term is: aₙ= -2n²
<h2><u /></h2><h2><u>Solution 2</u></h2>
The sequence:
- -2, -8, -18, -32, -50
- -2*1, -2*4, - 2*9, -2*25
- -2*1², -2*2², -2*3², -2*4², -2*5², ..., -2*n²
- aₙ= -2n²
Yes it is a arithmetic sequence this is because you are adding 8 to each number to get the result of the next number
37.5 % of 800 is 300 because of division
Answer:
430 minutes or 7 hours and 10 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
From 8:35 am to 9 am is 25 minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour and 9 am to 3 pm is 6 hours. 3:00 to 3:45 pm is an additional 45 minutes.
60 minutes x 6 hours = 360 minutes
360 + 25 + 45 = 430 minutes
