Plug in n = 1 into the nth term formula
a(n) = 4n-1
a(1) = 4*1-1
a(1) = 3
So the first term is 3

The second term will be 7 because we add on 4 each time, as indicated by the slope of 4. This is also known as the common difference.

So the nth term is found by adding 4 to the (n-1)st term, in other words,
a(n) = a(n-1)+4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In summary, the answer is
a1=3; an=an-1+4
which is choice B

In the figure, AngleRQS Is-congruent-to AngleQLK. 3 lines are shown. Lines S P and K N are parallel. Line R M intersects line S

stepan [7]

Answer:

x=108

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

m∠RQS≅m∠QLK -----> by corresponding angles

m∠KLM+m∠QLK=180° -----> by supplementary angles (consecutive interior angles)

we have that

m∠RQS=x° ----> given problem

m∠QLX=x°

m∠KLM=(x-36)° ----> given problem

substitute

$(x-36)\°+x\°=180\°\\2x=180+36\\2x=216\\x=108$

Sanjay consulted three electricians about upgrading the wiring in his home. Each electrician uses a linear formula that incorpor

Reptile [31]

Answer:
b.Each electrician charges a different base fee:

Explanation:
Each of the equations has two parts:
1- base fee that is independent of any variable (this would be the number that has no variable next to it)
2- an hourly rate depending on the number of hours x (this would be the number that has an x next to it)

For the first electrician:
y = 25x + 30
base fee = $30
hourly rate = $25

For the second electrician:
y = 30x + 25
base fee = $25
hourly rate = $30

For the third electrician:
y = 25x + 20
base fee = $20
hourly rate = $25

Now, let's check the choices:
a.Each electrician charges a different hourly rate:
This is incorrect as electricians 1 and 3 charge the same hourly rate ($25)

b.Each electrician charges a different base fee:
This is correct as all three base fees are different ($30, $20 and $25)

c.All three electricians charge the same hourly rate:
This is incorrect as electrician 2 has a different hourly rate

d. All three electricians charge the same base fee:
This is incorrect as the base fees for the three electricians are different ($30, $25 and $20)

Hope this helps :)

The measure of the vertex angle in an isosceles triangle is six less than four time the measure of the base angle. find the meas

blagie [28]

An isosceles triangle is a special type of triangle that has two equal sides. Consequently, the two base angles are also equal. Since the interior angles of a triangle should sum up to 180°, the general equation should be

180° = 2*Base angle + Vertex angle

Let the base angle be x. Thus, the vertex angle is equal to
Vertex angle = 4x - 6
Substituting,
180 = 2x + 4x - 6
x = 31°

Vertex angle = 4(31°) - 6
Vertex angle = 118°
