In an arithmetic sequence, consecutive terms have a fixed distance d between them. If a₁ is the first term, then

2nd term = a₂ = a₁ + d

3rd term = a₃ = a₂ + d = a₁ + 2d

4th term = a₄ = a₃ + d = a₁ + 3d

and so on, up to

nth term = a_n = a_{n-1} + d = a_{n-2} + 2d = a_{n-3} + 3d = \cdots = a_1 + (n-1)d

so that every term in the sequence can be expressed in terms of a₁ and d.

6. It's kind of hard to tell, but it looks like you're given a₁₃ = -53 and a₃₅ = -163.

We have

a₁₃ = a₁ + 12d = -53

a₃₅ = a₁ + 34d = -163

Solve for a₁ and d. Eliminating a₁ and solving for d gives

(a₁ + 12d) - (a₁ + 34d) = -53 - (-163)

-22d = 110

d = -5

and solving for a₁, we get

a₁ + 12•(-5) = -53

a₁ - 60 = -53

a₁ = 7

Then the nth term is recursively given by

a_n = a_{n-1}-5

and explicitly by

a_n = 7 + (n-1)(-5) = 12 - 5n

7. We do the same thing here. Use the known terms to find a₁ and d :

a₁₉ = a₁ + 18d = 15

a₃₈ = a₁ + 37d = 72

⇒   (a₁ + 18d) - (a₁ + 37d) = 15 - 72

⇒   -19d = -57

⇒   d = 3

⇒   a₁ + 18•3 = 15

⇒   a₁ = -39

Then the nth term is recursively obtained by

a_n = a_{n-1}+3

and explicitly by

a_n = -39 + (n-1)\cdot3 = 3n-42

8. I won't both reproducing the info I included in my answer to your other question about geometric sequences.

We're given that the 1st term is 3 and the 2nd term is 12, so the ratio is r = 12/3 = 4.

Then the next three terms in the sequence are

192 • 4 = 768

768 • 4 = 3072

3072 • 4 = 12,288

The recursive rule with a₁ = 3 and r = 4 is

a_n = 4a_{n-1}

and the explicit rule would be

a_n = 3\cdot4^{n-1}

During the school year or each student planted 2 * 10^2 trees as part of a community service project. If there are 3.5 * 10^3 st
Nookie1986 [14]

Total 7*10^5 trees were planted.

Further explanation:

The product of both quantities will give us the total number of trees planted by the students for the community project.

So,

Given

Trees\ planted\ by\ each\ student=2*10^2\\Total\ students\ in\ school=3.5*10^3\\Total\ trees\ planted= (2*10^2)*(3.5*10^3)\\= 7*10^5\ trees

So, total 7*10^5 trees were planted.

I uhh need the question.. lol

Step-by-step explanation:

cat is 31%

dog is 42%

hamster is 19%

fish is 8%

62+84+38+16=200

62/200=0.31

84/200=0.42

38/200=0.19

16/200=0.08
