Which answer is the explicit rule for the sequence 11, 8.5, 6, 3.5, 1 ?

an=13.5+2.5n
an=13+2.5n
an=13.5−2.5n
an=13−1.5n

an=13.5−2.5n

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common difference

Take the end term and subtract the first term

8.5 -11 = -2.5

Take the third term and subtract the 3rd term to verify

6-8.5 = -2.5  check

The formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1+d(n-1)

an = 11 -2.5(n-1)

Distribute

an = 11 -2.5n+2.5

Combine terms

an = 13.5 - 2.5n

for this case we have the following expression:

to solve, we rewrite the expression as:

we apply double c and we have:

thus, the quotient is 48.

so, patel found a wrong ratio and the multiplication was incorrect.

option d

i'm not sure what you mean but in todays world there is a lot of women that are the bread winners in the family. there is a lot more single mothers now that are going back to get an education which is boosting the economy. i believe there has been a boost in the economy due to women the cosmetic industry is boosting, chemist, the sky is becoming the limit for women in todays economy. most women are also putting off having kids just to make sure they have a education. i don't know how these two relate though to scriptures because it's not the way the lord wanted it. the man is suppose to be the bread winner and due to social media and the easy access we have there is a lot of cheating going on.
