You use the arithmetic sequence formula and input the information given to you.
tn = a + (n-1)d
t(56) is what your looking for so don't worry about the tn.
a is your first term,
a = 15.
n is the position of the term you are looking for, n = 56.
And d is the common difference, you find this by taking t2 and subtracting t1. t2=18 and t1=15.
d = 18 - 15 = 3
Inputting it all into the formula you get,
t(56) = 15 + (56-1)(3)
term 56 = 180.
You use this formula to find any term in a sequence provided you are given enough info. You can also manipulate it if you are asked to find something else like the first term(a), common difference(d) or term position(n). It just depends on what the question is asking and what information you are given. :)
Hope this helps!
Answer:
22 and 158
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplementary angles add to 180. This is means there is a small and large angle. Adding together, they make 180.
- "the larger angle measures four degrees more than seven times the measure of a smaller angle" is represented as 7x+4.
- "x represents the measure of the smaller angle" is represented as x.
x + 7x+4 =180
8x+4=180
8x=176
x= 22
This is the measure of the smaller angle. The larger angle is 7(22)+4 = 158
Answer:
y=1/2x-5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have slope so we just need to find the y intercept.
slope intercept formula is
y=mx+b
(m) is slope
(b) is y int
y=1/2x+b
now apply our given x and y values (4 & -3)
-3=1/2(4)+b
simplify
-3=2+b
subtract 2 from each side
-5=b
put that into our equation
y=1/2x-5
Answer:
2 x 2 x 3 x 7
Step-by-step explanation:
2x2=4
4x3=12
12x7=84
-5 is for f(x)=x+5
4 is for g(x)=x-4
