Write the explicit rule of the arithmetic sequence that has a first term of 3 and a fourth term of 18

Mathematics
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]2 years ago
5 0

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

What is the slope of the linear equation 4x - 5y = -30
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The slope of the line 4x – 5y = 12 is m = 4/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of this line we need to get the line into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), which means we need to solve for y: The slope of the line 4x – 5y = 12 is m = 4/5.

I’m confused on this one
lina2011 [118]

So remember that one property of kites is that their non-vertex angles, in this case Angle B and D, are congruent to each other. And now that we know 3/4 angles of this kite, we can set up an equation to find Angle A.

Since quadrilaterals' interior angles add up to 360°, our equation can be set up as such: 85 + 85 + 140 + A = 360 . From here we can solve for A.

Firstly, add everything on the left side: 310 + A = 360

Next, subtract 310 on both sides, and your answer will be: A = 50°
