Answer:
First term = -41.
Common difference = -15.
Step-by-step explanation:
nth term: an = a1 + (n - 1)d where a = first term and d = the common difference.
-671 = a1 + (43 - 1)d
-806 = a1 +(52 - 1)d
-671 = a1 + 42d
-806 = a1 + 51d
Subtracting ( to eliminate a1):
-671 - (-806) = 42d - 51d
-9d = 135
d = -15
Substitute for d in the first equation:
-671 = a1 + 42*-15
-671 = a1 - 630
a1 = -671 + 630 = -41.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

I think.
Take the equation: y = 520 + 14x and put each value from the table in for x and y.
100 = 520 + 14 * -30
100 = 520 + -420
100 = 100 When we get an answer like this where the numbers on both sides of the equation match, we know that this (x,y) point is a part of the solution to the function.
So, you would work through each line in the table. If they are all like the one above, the answer is Yes. If not, it is no.
