Using the segment addition postulate, which is true? A number line going from negative 9 to positive 9. A closed circle appears at negative 6 and is labeled A. A closed circle appears at negative 1 and is labeled B. A closed circle appears at positive 2 and is labeled C. A closed circle appears at positive 8 and is labeled D.

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

The addition postulate for line segment states that if we have points A, C and a point B on line AC, The distance between points A and C can be given as:

AC = AB + BC

Point A is at -6, point B is at -1, point C is at +2 and point D is at point 8.

Therefore using line segment postulates:

AD = AB + BC  + CD

But AB = -1 - (-6)= -1 + 6 = 5

BC = 2- (-1) = 2 +1 = 3

CD = 8 - (+2) = 8 - 2 = 6

Also AD = 8 - (-6) = 8 + 6 = 14

To prove AD = AB + BC  + CD

AD = 5 + 3 + 6 = 14

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
