Answer:
29
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is
• = a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
d = 1 - 7 = - 5 - 1 = - 6 and a₁ = 7, = - 161, hence
7 - 6(n - 1) = - 161 ← solve for n
7 - 6n + 6 = - 161
13 - 6n = - 161 ( subtract 13 from both sides )
- 6n = - 174 ( divide both sides by - 6 )
n = 29
There are 29 terms in the sequence
Answer:
<em>The options are not visible enough (See Explanation)</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x:- 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5
y:- 13 || 22 || 37 || 58 || 85
Required
Determine if the function is quadratic
Calculate the difference between the values of y
<em>The resulting difference are: 9 || 15 || 21 || 27</em>
Next; Calculate the difference between the difference of values of y
<em>The resulting difference are: 6 || 6 || 6</em>
<em>For the function to be quadratic, the above difference must be the same and since they are the same (6), then the function represents a quadratic function.</em>
