qUESTION?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right! so, what is the right option?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankkk youuu!!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you help me with 2 more please? @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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??

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMGGG THANK YOUUU!! can you help me with the second one too pls?!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wrong attachment!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANK. YOU. SO. MUCHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

now we have to find the solutions of this system: \[\left\{ \begin{gathered} 7x - 8y = 6 \hfill \\ 8x - 5y = 11 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

sorry, I believed that we have to find the solutions also

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have completed our exercise

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok lol. thanks though. i really appreciate it

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
