What is the 52nd term for the following sequence ? 14,6,-2,-10,-18

= - 394

Step-by-step explanation:

these are the terms of an arithmetic sequence with nth term

= + (n - 1)d

where d is the common difference and the first term

d = - 18 - (- 10) = - 10 - (- 2) = - 2 - 6 = - 8 and = 14, hence

= 14 + (51 × - 8) = 14 - 408 = - 394

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

if you was gonna solve for a, a is a   < -12
