your sequence, is an arithmetic sequence, whose constant is:
-42-(-38)=-38-(-34)=-4
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
so we can write the general formula of the n-th term as below:
\[{a_n} = {a_1} + \left( {n - 1} \right)d\]
where a1 is the first term and d=-4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its c

right?

now, if we set n=10, we can write this:
\[\begin{gathered}
- 34 = {a_1} + 9 \times \left( { - 4} \right) \hfill \\
\hfill \\
- 34 = {a_1} - 36 \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \]
what is a1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
that's right!
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
by definition, the second term is:
\[\begin{gathered}
{a_2} = {a_1} + d \hfill \\
{a_2} = 2 + \left( { - 4} \right) \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \]
what is a2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-2?

first question:
the equation of your line is:
\[\Large \frac{x}{{ - 4}} + \frac{y}{1} = 1\]

I'm thinking B
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
we have to rewrite that equation in this form:
ax+by=c
what do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-4x + 1y =1?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
I got this:
\[ - x + 4y = 4\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ill go with what you have since your more experienced

it is a simple computation, if I multiply both sides by 4, I get this:
\[\Large 4 \times \left( {\frac{x}{{ - 4}} + \frac{y}{1}} \right) = 4 \times 1\]
please simplify
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do i graph what you got?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
our points, namely the shaded region, is represented by the subsequent inequality:
ax+by>c
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
so, what is that inequality in our case?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
b??

second question:
If i sum, side by side, the first and the second equation together, I get this:
\[\Large \left( {x + 3y} \right) + \left( {7x - 8y} \right) = 5 + 6\]
please simplify, what do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8x -5y= 11
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
that's right!
so what is the right option?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
B
