Write an explicit formula for an, the n^th term of the sequence 22, 20, 18, ....

Mathematics

Serjik [45]2 years ago

Answer:

 a_n=a+(n-1)d

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is 22, 20, 18, ...

We need to find the explicit formula for an.

First term is 22

Second term = 20

Third term = 18

We can write the formula as :

a_n=a+(n-1)d

Where

a is 22

d is common difference = 20-22 = -2

Forth term will be :

a_4=22+(4-1)(-2)\\\\=22-6\\\\=16

Hence, the formula is a_n=a+(n-1)d.

PLEASE HELP! The question is in the attachment.
Olin [163]

Answer:

x > 1

Step-by-step explanation:

15 - 1 = 14

The inequality is 15 - 1 < 14, but this is incorrect. 14 can not be less than 14. In order for the left side to be less than 14, the x value (currently representing 1) should be larger than what it currently is to make the statement true.

Therefore, x>1

I need help with this. Thanks <br><br><br> I need to find the degree
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

  119.05°

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, the angle is given by ...

  θ = arctan(y/x)

Here, that becomes ...

  θ = arctan(9/-5) ≈ 119.05°

_____

<em>Comment on using a calculator</em>

If you use the ATAN2( ) function of a graphing calculator or spreadsheet, it will give you the angle in the proper quadrant. If you use the arctangent function (tan⁻¹) of a typical scientific calculator, it will give you a 4th-quadrant angle when the ratio is negative. You must recognize that the desired 2nd-quadrant angle is 180° more than that.

__

It may help you to consider looking at the "reference angle." In this geometry, it is the angle between the vector v and the -x axis. The coordinates tell you the lengths of the sides of the triangle vector v forms with the -x axis and a vertical line from that axis to the tip of the vector. Then the trig ratio you're interested in is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent = |y|/|x|

This is the tangent of the reference angle, which will be ...

  θ = arctan(|y| / |x|) = arctan(9/5) ≈ 60.95°

You can see from your diagram that the angle CCW from the +x axis will be the supplement of this value, 180° -60.95° = 119.05°.

What is the slope of the line on the graph?<br> The two coordinates are ( 3, -3) and ( 0, -1 )
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The slope is -2/3.

Step-by-step explanation

Let m represent the slope.

m= rise/run= y2-y1/x2-x1

-1 - (-3)/0-3

2/-3

-2/3
