The <em>missing</em> pattern behind the sequence 7, 11, 2, 18, -7 is described by the formula n = 7 + \sum \limits_{i= 1}^{n} (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}, equivalent to the <em>recurrence</em> formula a_{n+1} = a_{n} + (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}.

<h3>What is the missing element in a sequence?</h3>

A sequence is a set of elements which observes at least a <em>defined</em> rule. In this question we see a sequence which follows this rule:

n = 7 + \sum \limits_{i= 1}^{n} (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}      (1)

Now we prove that given expression contains the pattern:

n = 0

7

n = 1

7 + (- 1)² · 2² = 7 + 4 = 11

n = 2

7 + (- 1)² · 2² + (- 1)³ · 3² = 11 - 9 = 2

n = 3

7 + (- 1)² · 2² + (- 1)³ · 3² + (- 1)⁴ · 4² = 2 + 16 = 18

n = 4

7 + (- 1)² · 2² + (- 1)³ · 3² + (- 1)⁴ · 4² + (- 1)⁵ · 5² = 18 - 25 = - 7

The <em>missing</em> pattern behind the sequence 7, 11, 2, 18, -7 is described by the formula n = 7 + \sum \limits_{i= 1}^{n} (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}, equivalent to the <em>recurrence</em> formula a_{n+1} = a_{n} + (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}.

Find the value of f(-1) for the function below
mrs_skeptik [129]

Put the value of x = -1 to the equation of a function f(x):

f(x)=\dfrac{2}{3}\times3^{3x+12}\\\\f(-1)=\dfrac{2}{3}\times3^{3(-1)+12}=\dfrac{2}{3}\times3^{-3+12}=\dfrac{2}{3}\times3^9=\dfrac{2}{1}\times3^8=13,122\to\boxed{B.}

the pressure exerted on the floor by the heel of someone's shoe is inversely proportional to the square of the width of the heel
Katen [24]
P = k/w^2 

<span>first of all you need to find k </span>
<span>But I kind of don't like the units of each value so let say </span>
<span>400KPa = 4 * 10^5 Pa = 4 * 10^5 N/m^2 </span>
<span>2 cm = 2 * 10^-2 m </span>

<span>input values in the equation </span>

<span>4*10^5 = k/(4*10^-4) >>> k = 160 N </span>

<span>P = 160/w^2 </span>
<span>it said if she wears a heel with a width of .5 cm </span>

<span>P = 160(0.5 * 10^-2)^2 >>> P = 6400 KPa</span>

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations
yarga [219]

Answer:

C. (3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

to begin the substitution method, we can begin by substituting the answer choice value into the given system or equations to determine if the values make the equation true.

the first choice is (2,1)

3(2) + 2(1) = 13

6 + 2 is not equal to 13. Therefore this answer choice is incorrect.

second choice (1,2)

3(1) + 2(2) = 13

3 + 4 is not equal to 13. This answer is also incorrect.

third choice (3,2)

3(3) + 2(2)

9 + 4 = 13 is true!

we can also substitute these x and y values for the equation underneath:

y = x - 1

2 = 3 - 1

2 = 2 is true! Therefore, C. (3,2) is correct!
