The sequence and their functions are:

f(n) = f(n - 1) + 7 ⇒ 3, 10, 17, 24, 31.....
f(n) = f(n - 1) + 4n - 2 ⇒ 3, 9, 19, 33, 51.....
f(n) = 2[f(n - 1)] ⇒ 3, 6, 12, 24, 48.....

<h3>How to match the functions?</h3>

To do this, we simply set values for n and calculate the function values using the current value of n.

So, we have:

Function 1: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 6n - 5 where f(1) = 3

Let n = 2

f(2) = f(1) + 6(2) - 5 = 3 + 12 - 5 = 10

Let n = 3

f(3) = f(2) + 6(3) - 5 = 10 + 18 - 5 = 23

None of the sequence follows the pattern 3, 10, 23....

Function 2: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 2n - 1 where f(1) = 3

Let n = 2

f(2) = f(1) + 2(2) - 1 = 3 + 4 - 1 = 6

Let n = 3

f(3) = f(2) + 2(3) - 1 = 6 + 6 - 1 = 11

None of the sequence follows the pattern 3, 6, 11....

Function 3: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 6 where f(1) = 3

Let n = 2

f(2) = f(1) + 6 = 3 + 6 = 9

Let n = 3

f(3) = f(2) + 6 = 9 + 6 = 15

None of the sequence follows the pattern 3, 9, 15....

Function 4: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 7 where f(1) = 3

Let n = 2

f(2) = f(1) + 7 = 3 + 7 = 10

Let n = 3, 4 and 5

f(3) = f(2) + 7 = 10 + 7 = 17

f(4) = f(3) + 7 = 17 + 7 = 24

f(5) = f(4) + 7 = 24 + 7 = 31

So, we have:

f(n) = f(n - 1) + 7 ⇒ 3, 10, 17, 24, 31.....

Function 5: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 4n - 2 where f(1) = 3

Let n = 2

f(2) = f(1) + 4(2) - 2 = 3 + 8 - 2 = 9

Let n = 3, 4 and 5

f(3) = f(2) + 4(3) - 2 = 9 + 12 - 2 = 19

f(4) = f(3) + 4(4) - 2 = 19 + 16 - 2 = 33

f(5) = f(4) + 4(5) - 2 = 33 + 20 - 2 = 51

So, we have:

f(n) = f(n - 1) + 4n - 2 ⇒ 3, 9, 19, 33, 51.....

Function 6: f(n) = 2[f(n - 1)] where f(1) = 3

Let n = 2

f(2) = 2 * f(1) = 2 * 3 = 6

Let n = 3, 4 and 5

f(3) = 2 * f(2) = 2 * 6 = 12

f(4) = 2 * f(3) = 2 * 12 = 24

f(5) = 2 * f(4) = 2 * 24 = 48

So, we have:

f(n) = 2[f(n - 1)] ⇒ 3, 6, 12, 24, 48.....

an ordered pair where the x and y coordinate are the same lies in the 1st or 3rd quadrant. true, sometimes true or not true?. ex

Zarrin [17]

The quadrants are as follows:

The 1st quadrant has the points which have both x and y positive and the 3rd quadrant has the points which have both x and y negative. If the ordered pair and the same x and y value, if ons is positive, the other also is, and the same for negative.

So, at first we see that there are point where the x and y are the same and that are in the 1st or 3rd quadrant.

However, there is one special case:

When x and y are 0, that is, the ordered pair is (0, 0).

Since this point is the origin, it doesn't lie on any of the quadrants.

Thus, this affirmative is sometimes true. Every point but (0, 0) that have same x and y values are in the 1st or 3rd quadrant except for (0, 0).

Whats the answer to these? (These are called Proper fractions.)

Darya [45]

Answer to the first question: 7/10ths of a mile

Explaination: When adding fractions, you need to have a common denominator. Since dividing 3/10 by 2 to get a denominator of 5 makes 3 a decimal, it's easier to multiply 2/5 by 2 to get a denominator of 10. You do the same to the top that you do to the bottom: $\frac{2*2}{5*2} = \frac{4}{10}$ . From there, just add 4/10 and 3/10 to get the answer: 7/10ths of a mile.

Answer to the second question: Daniel read three (3/10) more books

Explaination: Since you can't evenly multiply 5 or 2 to get the opposite number, it's easier to multiply to the lowest common multiple. The easiest way to find that is to multiply both denominators (5*2=10). You'll have to multiply the numerator by the same amount you multipled the denominator by. For Daniel, that would mean: $\frac{4*2}{5*2} = \frac{8}{10}$ . For Edgar, that would mean: $\frac{1*5}{2*5} = \frac{5}{10}$ . So, Daniel read 3 more books than Edgar.

Answer to the third question: 2/4 mile (or 1/2 a mile)

Explaination: 2/8 can be simplified, by dividing the top and bottom by 2, resulting in 1/4. Since both fractions have the same denominator (/4), you can add them to get 2/4ths. This can be simplified further to half (1/2) a mile.
