How many diagonals can you draw from the vertex of an octagon

1 answer:

8 0

From one vertex of an octagon you can draw 5 diagonals.

There are 8 vertices in an octagon, and we are choosing one as our starting vertex. There are then 7 vertices left to draw a line to, but 2 of the vertices are already connected to our main vertex (because they are connected along the side of the octagon). That leaves 5 vertices to draw a diagonal to from our original vertex.

Find the 53rd term of the arithmetic sequence 27,11, -5

vivado [14]

Answer:

The 53rd term of this arithmetic sequence is -805.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is the following:

$a_{n+1} = a_{n} + d$

In which d is the common diference between each term, that is, $d = a_{3} - a_{2} = a_{2} - a_{1}$ .

To find the nth term of the sequence, this equation can be written as:

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

27,11, -5

So $a_{1} = 27, a_{2} - a_{1} = 11 - 27 = -16[/tex[tex]a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)d$

$a_{53} = a_{1} + (52)d = 27 + 52*(-16) = -805$

The 53rd term of this arithmetic sequence is -805.

Solve the system of equations

Llana [10]

Because both answers equal y, we can set them equal to each other. So, -8x=-5x-9. Add five over to get -3x=-9. Divide and x=3. Then plug 3 in to solve for y. -8(3)=24. The ordered pair is (3,24).
