1. The explicit formula an = 2–5(n-1) represents an arithmetic sequence. Write the recursive formula for the sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you map the sequence out, you get the following values:

a = 1, a(n) = 2

a = 2, a(n) = -3

a = 3, a(n) = -8

As you can see, the first term is 2 and the sequence is decreasing by 5 each time. Therefore, the answer is D.

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
