Answer:
1/4 n - 3.
Hope this helps, sorry if it doesn't.
I'd say by rounding and similar techniques the answer is 468, though it doesn't say all the needed numbers.
Answer:
f(4)=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1)=2
f(n)=f(n-1)^2-n
If n=2
f(2)=f(2-1)^2-2
f(2)=f(1)^2-2
f(2)=2^2-2
f(2)=4-2
f(2)=2
If n=3
f(3)=f(3-1)^2 - 3
f(3)=f(2)^2 - 3
f(3)=2^2-3
f(3)=4-3
f(3)=1
if n=4
f(4)=f(4-1)^2 - 4
f(4)=f(3)^2 - 4
f(4)=1^2 - 4
f(4)=1-4
f(4)=-3
Answer:
Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that:
- Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equivalent.
- Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.
- And two lines are neither if neither of the two cases above apply.
So, let's find the slope of each equation.
The first basketball is modeled by:
We can convert this into slope-intercept form. Subtract 3<em>x</em> from both sides:
And divide both sides by four:
So, the slope of the first basketball is -3/4.
The second basketball is modeled by:
Again, let's convert this into slope-intercept form. Add 6<em>x</em> to both sides:
And divide both sides by negative eight:
So, the slope of the second basketball is also -3/4.
Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.
