PLEASE HELP ILL MARK BRAINLIEST !!!

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

a) the common difference is 20

b) $x_8=115 , x_{12}=195$

c) the common difference is -13

d) $a_{12}=52, a_{15}=13$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) what is the common difference of the sequence xn

Looking at the table, we get x_3=16, x_4=36 and x_5= 56

Deterring the common difference by subtracting x_4 from x_3 we get

36-16 =20

So, the common difference is 20

b) what is x_8? what is x_12

The formula used is: $x_n=x_1+(n-1)d$

We know common difference d= 20, we need to find $x_1$

Using $x_3=16$ we can find $x_1$

$x_n=x_1+(n-1)d\\x_3=x_1+(3-1)d\\15=x_1+2(20)\\15=x_1+40\\x_1=15-40\\x_1=-25$

So, We have $x_1 = -25$

Now finding $x_8$

$x_n=x_1+(n-1)d\\x_8=x_1+(8-1)d\\x_8=-25+7(20)\\x_8=-25+140\\x_8=115$

So, $\mathbf{x_8=115}$

Now finding $x_{12}$

$x_n=x_1+(n-1)d\\x_{12}=x_1+(12-1)d\\x_{12}=-25+11(20)\\x_{12}=-25+220\\x_{12}=195$

So, $\mathbf{x_{12}=195}$

c) what is the common difference of the sequence $a_m$

Looking at the table, we get a_7=104, a_8=91 and a_9= 78

Deterring the common difference by subtracting a_7 from a_8 we get

91-104 =-13

So, the common difference is -13

d) what is a_12? what is a_15?

The formula used is: $a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

We know common difference d= -13, we need to find $a_1$

Using $a_7=104$ we can find $x_1$

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_7=a_1+(7-1)d\\104=a_1+7(-13)\\104=a_1-91\\a_1=104+91\\a_1=195$

So, We have $a_1 = 195$

Now finding $a_{12}$ , put n=12

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_{12}=a_1+(12-1)d\\a_{12}=195+11(-13)\\a_{12}=195-143\\a_{12}=52$

So, $\mathbf{a_{12}=52}$

Now finding $a_{15}$ , put n=15

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_{15}=a_1+(15-1)d\\a_{15}=195+14(-13)\\a_{15}=195-182\\a_{15}=13$

So, $\mathbf{a_{15}=13}$

How to solve -6<-2x<14

algol13

Hey there! :)

-6 < -2x < 14

We're trying to solve for x. To solve for x, we must isolate x.

So, let's divide everything by -2!

-6 ÷ -2 < -2x ÷ -2 < 14 ÷ -2

**Remember : when dividing by a negative number, you MUST switch the sign! So, if the sign is ">" then we switch it to "<" and the other way around **

3 > x > -7

So, our answer is : → 3 > x > -7

~Hope I helped!~

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (0,8) and (-1,-4).

Anettt [7]

Step-by-step:

Use slope formula to find the slope. (y - y)/(x - x)

Make sure the x and y in front of the minus is a pair that goes together, as well as the x and y behind the minus sign. So

8 - -4 goes on top, that's 12

0 - -1 goes under, thats 1

12/1 is the slope which is just 12. Use either point to fill in the second x and the second y in the point-slope equation. m is the slope.

y - y = m(x - x)

y - 8 = 12(x - 0)

y - 8 = 12x
