The first term(a1) is 3
The second term (a2) is obtained by multiplying 3*(-5)
The third term A3 by multiplying 3 * -5 -5 = a2 times -5
Than you go on and one with that
But your answer is
A1=3;an+1=an(-5)

So far you have mostly worked with equations. There are special types of equations, called functions, that have exactly one outp
amid [387]
Can you think of any other examples of functions?

<em>Yes! Like putting a check in the bank, that is the input- and then the money you take is the output. You can even use food to compare input and output! Ingredients are the input, and the final dish/dessert is the output. If you wanted something more mathematical, you can use a graph to find the input and output. If you know a few points, you can create a whole line of x and y points, where x= input and y=output. You can also consider getting gas for your car, the money is the input, and the gas (in return) is the output. <== these are just a few examples. 
</em>
Why might this type of equation be useful? 

When you are trying to find the points for a line or looking for the unit price for something, functions can be very useful! You can find what y would be when x equals 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. I know I use this all the time! For example, trying to find the best price for something in the grocery store. There are a lot of options, and if you find the unit price with functions, it makes it easier to get the best deal.

I hope this helps!

Find the equality represented by the graph?
Talja [164]

Answer:

-x+4y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: graph

To find:the inequality

Solution:

Equation of a line passing through points (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2) is given by y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

Take (x_1,y_1)=(0,3),(x_2,y_2)=(4,4)

So,equation of line is evaluated as follows:

y-3=\frac{4-3}{4-0}(x-0)\\ y-3=\frac{x}{4}\\ 4y-12=x\\-x+4y=12

As per the graph,inequality is -x+4y

Here, use sign < and not \leq as line in the graph is dotted that is points on the line are excluded.
