For the arithmetic sequence
a₁, a₂, a₃, ...,
the n-th term is

where d = the common difference
Because a₅ = 12.4,
a₁ + 4d = 12.4 (1)
Because a₉ = 22.4,
a₁ + 8d = 22.4 (2)
Subtract (1) from (2).
a₁ + 8d - (a₁ + 4d) = 22.4 - 12.4
4d = 10
d = 2.5
From (1),
a₁ = 12.4 - 4*2.5 = 2.4
Therefore
a₃₁ = 2.4 + 30*2.5 = 77.4
Answer: a₃₁ = 77.4
Answer:
Anna's walk as a vector representation is
and refer attachment.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the origin be the point 1 from where Ann start walking.
Ann walks 80 meters on a straight line 33° north of the east starting at point 1 as shown in figure below,
Resolving into the vectors, the vertical component will be 80Sin33° and Horizontal component will be 80Cos33° as shown in figure (2)
Ann walk as a vector representation is 
Thus, Anna's walk as a vector representation is 
In addition, from the response shown, using a graphical calculator brings the following benefits:
1) You can write the system of linear equations as big as you want. This is: systems 3 * 3, 4 * 4, 5 * 5.
2) The response to systems of equations greater than 2 * 2 can be complicated when you graph the solution, therefore, the graphing calculator can be much more efficient in these cases.
3) You can write the linear equations in any way. Resolving by hand you should probably rewrite the system of equations to find the solution.
