Answer:

a_{n} = 5n - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₄ = 18 , then

a₁ + 3d = 18 , that is

3 + 3d = 18 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

3d = 15 (divide both sides by 3 )

d = 5

Then

a_{n} = 3 + 5(n - 1) = 3 + 5n - 5 = 5n - 2 ← explicit rule

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The fraction of passengers remaining on the bus is 5/21

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we should choose any arbitrary value for the number of passengers on the bus initially.

We should have in mind that whatever value we shall be choosing, it should be a multiple of 3 and 7 since that is what we shall be dividing with.

Now, let’s choose the value 42 for the number of passengers originally at the on the bus.

At the first stop, 1/3 of the passengers exit. The number of passengers that exited will be 1/3 * 42 = 14

At the second stop, the number of passengers that exited is 3/7 of original. That would be 3/7 * 42 = 18 passengers

The total number of passengers that this have exited since we do not have any new addition to the original number is 18 + 14 = 32 passengers

Now the number remaining on the bus will be 42 - 32 = 10 passengers

This is equal to a fraction of 10/42 = 5/21

What is the equation of the line whose slope is 3 that passes through the point (-1, 5).
sergey [27]
We knownthe equation of a line is y = mx + b. where m is slope and b is y intercept.

the point slope equation of a line is y - y1 = m (x - x1)

plug in x1 and y1 and m
y- (5) = (3)(x - (-1))
y - 5 = 3x + 3
y = 3x + 8
