Answer:
36, 32, 28, 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Fill in the values of n and do the arithmetic.
a1 = 36 -4(1 -1) = 36
a2 = 36 -4(2 -1) = 32
a3 = 36 -4(3 -1) = 28
a4 = 36 -4(4 -1) = 24
_____
You could recognize the formula as the specific case of the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence with first term 36 and common difference -4. That tells you the second term is 36 -4 = 32, and each successive term is 4 less than the one before.
-x + 1/2 = x + 4 1/2
+x +x
1/2 = 2x + 4 1/2
-4 1/2 - 4 1/2
-4 = 2x
x = -2
The answer I got was 2,423,000 million square miles. If there is a choice that says that then it’s the answer. If not, I’m probably wrong.
Hope this helps!
