Please help? The question is posted below ...
For an arithmetic sequence, the domain is restricted to all integers greater than or equal to 1 because a sequence is a set of numbers starting at the 1st term, 2nd term etc. You can't have negative, decimals, or fractions. The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is a_n=a1+d(n-1). In your question, the first term is 9, and the difference is -6 (you are adding -6 each time). This makes the answer a_n=9-6(n-1) where n is greater than or equal to 1 (the last answer choice is right!)
Thank you so much! I have been having trouble with these. This helps out a lot! Thank you for the explanation. :)
np, any more questions?
I just finished this module on flvs
Can you double check these answers for me, please? @1289florida
1 is correct, let me check #2
Thank you :)
For number 2, I got -334, I'll work you through it...
-226=26+(22-1)d -252=21d d=-12
The common difference is -12
a_31=26+(31-1)(-12) a_31=26+(30)(-12) a_31=26+(-360) a_31=-334
Oh! Okay, thank you! I see where I calculated wrong. Thank you so much for the help! I get it now :)
