1.1 Consider the following pattern:
87; 84; 81 ...
1.1.1 Find an expression for the nth term of the
sequence
(3)

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence is;

90 - 3n

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find an expression for the nth term of the sequence

Mathematically, let us determine the type of sequence

As we can see;

84 - 87 = 81-84 = -3

The difference between the terms is a constant; this means that the sequence is arithmetic

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be represented by;

Tn = a + (n-1)d

in this case, a is the first term of the sequence = 87

d is the common difference of the sequence = -3

The nth term is thus;

Tn = 87 + (n-1)-3

Tn = 87 - 3n + 3

Tn = 87 + 3 - 3n

Tn = 90 - 3n

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )
