Answer: choice B) a35 = -118
=====================================================
Explanation:
When n = 5, an = 32 as shown in the first column of the table. This means the fifth term is 32. Plug in those values to get
an = a1+d(n-1)
32 = a1+d(5-1)
32 = a1+4d
Solve for a1 by subtracting 4d from both sides
a1 = 32-4d
We'll plug this in later
Turn to the second column of the table. We have n = 10 and an = 7. Plug those values into the formula
an = a1+d(n-1)
7 = a1 + d(10-1)
7 = a1+9d
Now substitute in the equation in which we solved for a1
7 = a1+9d
7 = 32-4d+9d ... replace a1 with 32-4d
7 = 32+5d
5d = 7-32
5d = -25
d = -25/5
d = -5
This tells us that we subtract 5 from each term to get the next term.
Use this d value to find a1
a1 = 32-4d
a1 = 32-4*(-5)
a1 = 32+20
a1 = 52
The first term is 52
--------------
The nth term formula is therefore
an = 52 + (-5)(n-1)
which simplifies to
an = -5n + 57
To check this result, plug in n = 5 to find that a5 = 32. Similarly, you'll find that a10 = 7 after plugging in n = 10. I'll let you do these checks.
--------------
Replace n with 35 to find the 35th term
an = -5n + 57
a35 = -5(35) + 57
a35 = -175 + 57
a35 = -118
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
add 14.52 to both sides of the inequality to cancel that value out from the middle. Then you can divide both sides by 3x to get x by itself in the middle.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the score she got on the fifth test.
Since her average score is 88, the sum of all five tests is 5×88.
x + 87 + 75 + 93 + 85 = 5×88 = 440
x = 440 - 87 - 75 - 93 - 85
x = 100
She got a 100 on her fifth test.
Answer: Line 1: (2, 3) , (4, 12)
m = (12 - 3)/(4 - 2) = 9/2 This is the slope of the line
y = (9/2)x + b
3 = (9/2)(2) + b
3 = 9 + b
b = -6
y = (9/2)x - 6
Line 2: (5, 10) , (14,8)
m = (8 - 10)/(14 - 5) = -2/9
this slope is the opposite sign, and inverse of the first equation's slope. Therefore, the line is perpendicular.
y = mx + b
8 = (-2/9)(14) + b
8 = -28/9 + b
11.11 = b
y = (-2/9)x + 11.11
