Question

Write an expression for the apparent nth term of the sequence. (Assume that n begins with 1.)
-3-(4/1),-3-(4/2),-3-(4/3),-3-(4/4),-3-(4/5)

Answer 1

an = -3 -4/n

correct me if I'm wrong ^_^

Answer 2

Well That is one of my answer choices... is it possible you could explain how you got it so that I can do the other problem like it please?

Answer 3

or help me with my other one?

Answer 4

sure, first write it down on paper and tell me what number do you see is changing?

Answer 5

you'll notice that -3 and -4 stay the same and that only the denominator of 4 is increasing by one

Answer 6

the denominator

Answer 7

exactly and you said assume n starts from n =1

Answer 8

right

Answer 9

so, you can conclude that the formula for this sequence is as follows:

an = -3 -4/n for n to be any number :)

Answer 10

clear now? ^_^

Answer 11

oh ok so n is the number that's changing yes makes sense thanks

Answer 12

np :)

Answer 13

if I work out the problem like it could you check my work?

Answer 14

sure

Answer 15

Write the nth term of the arithmetic sequence as a function of n.
\[a _{1}=4, a _{k+1}=a _{k}-5\]

I think the answer is:
\[a _{n}=4-5n\]

Answer 16

Write the nth term of the arithmetic sequence as a function of n.
\[a _{1}=8, a _{k+1}=a _{k}+7\]

I think the answer is:
\[a _{n}=8+7n\]

Answer 17

yep!

Answer 18

for both of them!?!

Answer 19

I guess, yes :)

Answer 20

Sweet Thank you so much for helping me!

Answer 21

you are most welcome ^_^! good luck!

Answer 22

but I'm not really sure of the answers though, they look good :)

Answer 23

lol well Ijust turned in the test and I got both those wrong:( lol still got a B but oh well lol

Answer 24

hmmm, since ak = 8, and ak+1 = 7, the value is decreasing so I think it's:

an = 8 - n

Answer 25

oops >_< my bad! I'm sorry you got them wrong :(

Answer 26

so if n = 1, then an = 8 -1 = 7

Answer 27

I'm really sorry, I should've used my head >_< at first. Dearest apologies!

Answer 28
