If the first and fifteen terms of A. P. are 8 and -48 respectively, obtain the progression

8, 4, 0, -4, - 8, .........

Step-by-step explanation:

The n the term of an AP is

= a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 8 and a₁₅ = - 48, then

8 + 14d = - 48 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

14d = - 56 ( divide both sides by 14 )

d = - 4

To obtain the progression subtract 4 from each term, that is

8, 4, 0, - 4, - 8, ......

8, 4, 0, -4, -8, -12, -16, -20,...

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic Progressions

The general term of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) is:

Where:

a1  = First term

an = Term number n

n   = Number of the term

r   = Common difference

We are given: a1=8, and a15=-48, n=15. Calculate r:

r = -4

We can get the terms of the progression by subtracting 4 to the previous term.

Thus, the first terms of the progression are:

8, 4, 0, -4, -8, -12, -16, -20,...

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.
