If an is a5
and
an-1 is a4
then using your recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence
an=an-1 +d
then
a5=a4+d
now, a4 =6 and common difference "d" is d=-11
hence
a5=6 -11
6-11= -5
any questions?
The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0. An easy way to think about this is that the absolute value turns a negative number positive, and has no effect on positive numbers. In this case, we are taking the absolute value of a negative number. This means we should simply make the number positive. Therefore, the answer is
Answer:
(8,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 2y = 30
coordinates are (x,y) so you plug in 8 for x and solve for y
5(8) - 2y = 30
40 - 2y = 30
subtract 40 from both sides to isolate y
-2y = -10
divide both sides by -2 to isolate y
y = 5
1: answer: 4^6 ( reduce the fraction with 4^3)
2: answer: 1 ( any nonzero expression raised to the power of 0 equals 1 )
3: answer 3^8
steps: (3^2)^4 = 3^2×4 ( to raise a power to another Power multiply the exponents)
3^2×4 = 3^8 ( multiply the 2 and the 4 exponent to get a 8 as a exponent )
