Find the 98th term of the arithmetic sequence -10, -8, -6, ...

First term = a= -10

common difference=d= -8+10 = 2

n= 98

the 98th term = a+(n-1)d = -10+ (98-1)2

= -10+(97)2 = -10 +194

=184

4n=2m

ratio of m to n: 2/4 = 1/2

answer

a. 1/2

the linear relationship that represents a variation in direct proportion is the linear function that varies according to the numbers of its domain, for example the cost of producing x number of items can be represented in direct proportion by f (x) = mx + b, where m is the constant of proportionality, x the number of articles produced and b the fixed cost
