Explicit formula for the sequence is a_n=10.5-0.5n and a_8=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sequence = 10, 9.5 , 9 , 8.5 , 8

To find: Explicit Formula for the sequence and 8th term of sequence

1st term of sequence = 10

2nd term of sequence = 9.5

3rd term of sequence = 9

4th term of sequence = 8.5

5th term of sequence = 8

Difference between 2nd and 1st term = 9.5 - 10 = -0.5

Difference between 3rd and 2nd term = 9 - 9.5 = -0.5

Since, Difference is same in both cases

⇒ It is Arthematic Progression

⇒ First term, a = 10 and Common term, d = -0.5

using formula of AP for nth term we get,

a_n=a+(n-1)d

a_n=10+(n-1)(-0.5)

a_n=10-0.5n+0.5

a_n=10.5-0.5n

⇒ 8th Term of AP, $a_8=10.5-0.5\times8=10-4=6$

Therefore, Explicit formula for the sequence is a_n=10.5-0.5n and a_8=6

The term number eight is 6.5

$a_{8}=6.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence, because each term can be found by applying a difference.

In this case, you can observe that such difference is -0.5, because each term is going down by 0.5 units.

The formula that describes an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d$

Where $a_{n}$ is the last term, $a_{1}$ is the first term, is the position of the last term and is the difference.

Each variable is

$a_{1} =10\\d=-0.5\\n=8\\$

Where we are gonna find $a_{8}$ the term number eight. So, replacing values, we have

$a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d\\a_{8}=10+(8-1)(-0.5)\\a_{8}=10+7(-0.5)=10-3.5\\a_{8}=6.5$

Therefore, the term number eight is 6.5.

Answer from: Quest

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
