Write an
explicit formula for An, the nth term of the sequence 7, -42, 252, ....

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]A_n = 7(-6)^{n-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Key skills needed: Explicit formula, Geometric sequence

1) This is a geometric sequence, meaning a constant (like 6 or 3.5) is being multiplied to every term. First we need to find the constant.

This can be done by doing -42 ÷ 7   or   252 ÷ -42

-42 ÷ 7 equals -6.

252 ÷ -42 also equals -6.

2) This means that constant is -6.

3) The general form for an explicit formula of a geometric sequence is:

[tex]a_n = a_1(r)^{n-1}[/tex]

--> r means the constant (or common ratio) that is being multiplied.

--> [tex]a_1[/tex] means the first term

--> [tex]a_n[/tex] means the "nth" numbered term (so [tex]a_3[/tex] is the 3rd term, [tex]a_{10}[/tex] is the 10th term and so on).

--> [tex]n-1[/tex] is just the "n" in [tex]a_n[/tex] minus 1.

4) We can use this formula to create an explicit formula for the geometric sequence in the problem.

--> [tex]r = -6[/tex] (Since we got -6 as the constant/common ratio).

--> [tex]a_1 = 7[/tex] (Since 7 is the 1st term)

This means that our formula would be --> [tex]A_n = 7(-6)^{n-1}[/tex]

Layla has $2 worth of dimes and quarters. She has 6 more dimes than quarters. By
following the steps below, determine the number of dimes, I, and the number of
quarters, y, that Layla has.

Answers

Answer:

Layla has 4 quarters and 10 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

A quarter each is 25 cents. And a dime each is 10 cents. counts from 10 10 times and then add 25 4 times and you get 200 which is 2 dollars. Example: 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 with 10 dimes alone that's a dollar 4 quarters equal another dollar so both of those equal 2 dollars. Layla had 4 dimes and 4 quarters when she added 6 more dimes it all equaled 2 dollars. Hopefully this makes sense.

10 dimes and 4 quarters

  proving answer:

     10 - 4 = 6

Theres 6 more dimes than quarters
