3.15 Linear Equations and Inequalities (SHOW YOUR WORK) 1.) Use the linear graph to answer the question.

A.) Identify the quadrant in which each point lies.

Point A:_

Point B:_

A- Quadrant one.

B- Quadrant three.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the quadrants go counter-clockwise, starting at the top right which is Quadrant one. Therefore, A is in one. Using that information, we can assume that B is in Quadrant three.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

you,
