Write an explicit formula for the sequence 1,4,7,10... Then find a14.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The formula is [tex]a_n = 3n-2[/tex]

The 14th term is 40, in other words, [tex]a_{14} = 40[/tex]

========================================================

Explanation:

The given sequence is 1, 4, 7, 10, ...

Subtract each adjacent term:

4-1 = 37-4 = 310-7 = 3

This shows that each term is increasing by 3. This is the common difference, so d = 3.

The first term is [tex]a_1 = 1[/tex]

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence is...

[tex]a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)\\\\a_n = 1 + 3(n-1)\\\\a_n = 1 + 3n-3\\\\a_n = 3n-2\\\\[/tex]

As a check, let's plug in say n = 3 to find that:

[tex]a_n = 3n-2\\\\a_3 = 3(3)-2\\\\a_3 = 9-2\\\\a_3 = 7\\\\[/tex]

The third term is 7, which matches with the sequence given to us. I'll let you confirm the other values.

-----------

We'll repeat this idea but now for n = 14 to find the 14th term of the sequence.

[tex]a_n = 3n-2\\\\a_{14} = 3(14)-2\\\\a_{14} = 42-2\\\\a_{14} = 40\\\\[/tex]

The 14th term is 40.

You can make a table of values to help confirm the answer. In the first column you'll have the values of n (1,2,3,...) all the way up to 14. The second column will consist of the sequence 1, 4, 7, 10, ... each time going up by 3 until you reach the 14th term of 40.

The graphs that show the association between two variables in a data collection are called scatter plots. It displays data points either on a Cartesian system or a two-dimensional plane.

The X-axis is used to represent the independent variable or characteristic, while the Y-axis is used to plot the dependent variable. These diagrams or graphs are frequently used to describe these plots.

In the graph attached below, we can see that when the age of the car is 8 years, the resale value of the car is between points 40 and 20.

Thus, The 8-year-old car could be worth approximately $3000.

The table shows the linear relationship between x, the altitude in feet, and y, the boiling point of water in degrees Fahrenheit.


What are the slope and y-intercept of the line that models this situation? I

Answers

The slope and the y-intercept of the given data table will be option A) Slope= -0.0018, y-intercept = 212

The y-intercept of any linear equation is the point at which the line or the curve intersects the vertical i.e the Y- axis.

To find this intercept, the value of x is taken to be 0 in the model, since on the Y-axis, the value of x is 0.

Here from the given table, we need to check the boiling point or the value of Y for which the value of the altitude or the x value is 0

Hence we get the y-intercept as 212° F.

Now, the formula for slope

= change in y/ change in x

here we will take any two data rows and divide the difference in boiling points by the difference in altitudes.

Taking the first 2 rows gives us

Slope = -0.9/500

= -0.0018

Hence we choose option A) Slope = -0.0018, y-intercept = 212

Answers

The side length of the triangle are

How to find the side length of the triangle

A triangle with given ratio of sides as 3 : 5 : 6 and a perimeter of 154 feet is calculated from the formula of perimeter which is

= a + b + c

where

a, b, and c are the dimensions of the side length of the triangle:

Using the values given in the problem we have

let the ratio be a multiple of x such that

154 = 3x + 5x + 6x

154 = 14x

x = 11

a = 3 * 11 = 33 feet

b = 5 * 11 = 55 feet

What is a parallelogram?

A parallelogram is the name given to a quadrilateral in geometry. In a parallelogram, the opposing sides are parallel and of equal length. The rhombus, rectangle, and square are just a few shapes that are parallelograms.

Having two sets of parallel sides makes a quadrilateral a parallelogram. A parallelogram has opposite sides that are the same length and angles that are the same size. Additionally, the internal angles on the same transverse side are supplementary. 360 degrees are equal to the total of all internal angles.

If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent , then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometric Ratios are defined as the values of all the trigonometric functions based on the value of the ratio of sides in a right-angled triangle. The ratios of sides of a right-angled triangle with respect to any of its acute angles are known as the trigonometric ratios of that particular angle.

For angle of 30° and 60°

sin 30° = 1/2

cos 60° = √3/2

tan60° = √3

for angle 60 °

sin60° = √3/2

cos 60° = 1/2

tan60° = 1/√3

since sin(4x) = √3/2

and sin 60° = √3/2

sin60° = sin(4x)

this means 60° = 4x

divide both sides 4

x = 60/4

x = 15°

therefore the value of x is 15°

Therefore , the solution of the given problem of function comes out to be fog(-8)= 622.

Function: A Definition

A function is a relationship between a collection of sources or one product for each input. Simply described, a function is a group of equations linked to a single, distinct output. A declaration, rule, or law that specifies the relationship between two variables is known as a function in mathematics (the dependent variable). When a rules of this kind is employed, there is just one output. by photographer Alex Federspiel. This sentence provides a y=x2 example. Any input for x has only one output for y. Since x is indeed the input value, y is, by definition, a function of x.

Here,

Given :

f(x) = 3x²-3x - 8

g(x) = -x - 7

To find : fog)(-8)= ?

Thus,

We find

=> F(g(x)) => 3g(x)² -3g(x) - 8

=> f(-x-7) =3⋅(-x-7)²-3⋅(-x-7)-8

At x =-8

=> 3(-8-7)² - 3(-8-7)-8

=> 3(225)-3(15) -8

=> 675 - 45 -8

=> 622

Therefore , the solution of the given problem of function comes out to be fog(-8)= 622.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation r=5cosθ basically means the graph is going to be a circle with a radius of 5/2=2.5 to the right on the horizontal axis since it's cosine.

To graph the function r=5cosθ, we graph the function f(x) = 4cos(x), such that functional values are used as the corresponding values of θ and a radius of 2.5

How to graph the function?

The function is given as:

r=5cosθ

The above means that, we want to graph the function f(x) = 4cos(x), such that functional values are used as the corresponding values of θ.

The radius r is calculated using;

r = 5/2

r = 2.5
