Here are the first four terms of an arithmetic sequence. 3 10 17 24 Find, in terms of n, an expression for the nth term of this arithmetic sequence.

= 7n - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

= a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 3 and d = a₂ - a₁ = 10 - 3 = 7 , thus

= 3 + 7(n - 1) = 3 + 7n - 7 = 7n - 4

5104.38 inches

step-by-step explanation:

-7

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 18x + 74 = (x + 9)^2 - 81 + 74

= (x + 9)^2 - 7.

so q = -7.
