solve by backtracking for an explicit formula for the recursive sequence: a1 = -2 an = 3an-1

Answers

Answer 1

solve for an explicit formula for the given recursive sequence. The sequence is defined as:

a₁ = -2
aₙ = 3aₙ₋₁


To find the explicit formula, we'll work with a few terms of the sequence:

a₁ = -2
a₂ = 3a₁ = 3(-2) = -6
a₃ = 3a₂ = 3(-6) = -18
a₄ = 3a₃ = 3(-18) = -54

We can observe a pattern in the sequence: each term is found by multiplying the previous term by 3. This indicates that the explicit formula is a geometric sequence with a common ratio (r) of 3. The formula for a geometric sequence is:

aₙ = a₁ * [tex]r^{(n-1)[/tex]

In our case, a₁ = -2 and r = 3, so the explicit formula is:

aₙ = -2 * 3[tex]^{(n-1)[/tex]

Find a linear inequality with the following solution set. Each grid line represents one unit.

Answers

The linear inequality that represents the solution set is (- 1 / 3) · x - y ≥ 8 / 3.

How to derive the inequality that represents the image

Herein we have an representation of a inequality of the form y ≤ f(x), where f(x) is a linear function, that is, a first grade polynomial. By geometry we know that a equation of the line can be known from two distinct points set on Cartesian plane:

Slope

m = [- 4 - (- 2)] / [4 - (- 2)]

m = (- 2) / 6

m = - 1 / 3

Intercept (m = - 1 / 3, (x, y) = (4, - 4)

b = y - m · x

b = - 4 - (- 1 / 3) · 4

b = - 4 + 4 / 3

b = - 8 / 3

Then, we find that the inequality is:

y ≤ (- 1 / 3) · x - 8 / 3

8 / 3 ≤ (- 1 / 3) · x - y

(- 1 / 3) · x - y ≥ 8 / 3

Answers

The function that could represent the price tag's height relative to the table top is  h(t) = 4sin (22) +4

Disclaimer!!

The question is incomplete because the options are not given and hence the correct option is shown below

Which function could represent the price tag's height relative to the table top, h(t), after it has been rolling for e seconds?

A n(t) = 2008(832) +2

B. h(t) =-2005(522) +2

C h(t) = –2sin(572) +2

D. h(t) = 4sin (22) +4

Given diameter is 4 inches and the time given is  5 seconds and

the number of rotations given is 4

We need to find the function that could represent the price tag's height relative to the table top .

Diameter = 4

So, Radius will be D/2 = 4/2

Radius=2

time given is  5 seconds and

the number of rotations given is 4

So ,   5/4 = 2π/w

Therefore ,

W = 8π / 5

Therefore

h(t) = h(t) = 4sin (22) +4

Hence The function that could represent the price tag's height relative to the table top is  h(t) = 4sin (22) +4

The chemist wants to end up with a total volume of 54 liters, so

[tex]0.20a + 0.30b + 0.60c = 24.3[/tex]

He will also use twice as much of the 60% solution as the 30% solution, so

What is a liter of water?Let's examine this with the help of the following justification. Despite the fact that there is no established standard size for glasses, their capacity varies. In contrast, we estimate that a glass of water holds 8 ounces, and a liter holds 32 ounces.

According to the question:

Let a, b, and c stand for the relative volumes (in liters) of the 20 percent, 30 percent, and 60 percent acid solutions. The amount of acid in these amounts is 0.20a, 0.30b, and 0.60c liters.

a+b+c = 54 because the chemist wishes to have a final volume of 54 liters.

and a concentration of 45% acid. This comes out to 0.45×54 = 24.3 total liters of acid, so

0.20a + 0.30b + 0.60c = 24.3

Additionally, he will consume twice as much of the 60% solution as the 30% solution, thus c = 2b.

Substitute this into the first two equations and solve for a,b

a + 3b = 54

0.20a + 1.50b = 24.3

Eliminating b,  we have

The cost of the television before VAT was added is $360 and the value of the television at the end of the third year is $288.3

What is the meaning of VAT ?

VAT is an acronym for Value Added Tax. This is a tax attach to goods and products.

Given that the price of a new television is $423. This price includes VAT in 17 1/2%.

a) The cost of the television before VAT was added is calculated below.

Let the initial cost = C

(17.5 + 100)/100 x C = 423

117.5/100 x C = 423

1.175C = 423

C = 423/1.175

C = $360

b. By the end of the year, the value of a television has fallen by 12% of its value at the start of that year. If the value of a television was $423 at the start of the year, the value of the television at the end of the third year will be calculated by using the formula

A = P(1 - R%)^3

Substitute all the parameters

A = 423(1 - 12/100)^3

A = 423 x [tex]0.88^{3}[/tex]

A = 288.3 dollars

The population variance is the average of the squared distances of the measurements on all units in the population from the mean.

This is the method by which we define the sample variance and population variance.

So, The option D is the correct option.

Can someone please explain how [tex](3^{\frac{1}{5} } )^{2}[/tex] can be written as the radical expression [tex]\sqrt[5]{9}[/tex] ???

Answers

We can to convert the expression  [tex](3^{\frac{1}{5} } )^{2}[/tex] to the radical expression   [tex]\sqrt[5]{9}[/tex].  by using the laws of indices.

What is a radical expression?

A radical expression is an expression of the form ⁿ√x where it is called the nth root of x.

Now, to write [tex](3^{\frac{1}{5} } )^{2}[/tex] as  the radical expression [tex]\sqrt[5]{9}[/tex], we use following laws of indices

The power law of indices. [tex](x^{\frac{1}{b} } )^{a} = (x^{a} )^{\frac{1}{b} }[/tex] and root law of indices [tex]x^{\frac{1}{a} } = \sqrt[a]{x}[/tex]

So,  [tex](3^{\frac{1}{5} } )^{2} = (3^{2} )^{\frac{1}{5} }[/tex]

  [tex](3^{2} )^{\frac{1}{5} } = 9^{\frac{1}{5} } = \sqrt[5]{9}[/tex]

Thus, we can to convert the expression  [tex](3^{\frac{1}{5} } )^{2}[/tex] to the radical expression   [tex]\sqrt[5]{9}[/tex].  by using the laws of indices.

Answer:

  2.0 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Cosines can be used to find the third side of a triangle in which two sides and the angle between them are given.

Setup

The law of cosines tells us ...

  c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)

Using the given values, we have ...

  c² = 4.2² +4.5² -2(4.2)(4.5)cos(26°)

Solution

Simplifying the equation, we get ...

  c² = 37.89 -37.8cos(26°) ≈ 3.91559

  c ≈ 1.979 . . . . km

The width of the strait is about 2.0 km.
