1. We use the recursive formula to make the table of values:
f(1) = 35
f(2) = f(1) + f(2-1) = f(1) + f(1) = 35 + 35 = 70
f(3) = f(1) + f(3-1) = f(1) + f(2) = 35 + 70 = 105
f(4) = f(1) + f(4-1) = f(1) + f(3) = 35 + 105 = 140
f(5) = f(1) + f(5-1) = f(1) + f(4) = 35 + 140 = 175
2. We observe that the pattern is that for each increase of n by 1, the value of f(n) increases by 35. The explicit equation would be that f(n) = 35n. This fits with the description that Bill saves up $35 each week, thus meaning that he adds $35 to the previous week's value.
3. Therefore, the value of f(40) = 35*40 = 1400. This is easier than having to calculate each value from f(1) up to f(39) individually. The answer of 1400 means that Bill will have saved up $1400 after 40 weeks.
4. For the sequence of 5, 6, 8, 11, 15, 20, 26, 33, 41...
The first-order differences between each pair of terms is: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...since these differences form a linear equation, this sequence can be expressed as a quadratic equation. Since quadratics are functions (they do not have repeating values of the x-coordinate), therefore, this sequence can also be considered a function.
According to a daylight calculator for Fairbanks, AK, sun rises at 07:40 and sun sets at 20:12, giving 12 hours and 32 minutes of daylight.
Note that it is not a mistake that daylight is not exactly 12 hours on that day due to refraction of the sun's rays at sunrise and sunset.
At Fairbanks, near equality to 12 hours occurs on March 16 with sunrise at 07:58 and sunset at 19:57.
Years = natural log (total / principal) / rate
Years = ln (78,900 / 39,450) / .032
Years = ln (2) / .032
Years = 0.69314718056 / .032

To convert a number from scientific notation to standard form, consider 1.5625 x 10^4. First, focus on the exponential number, which is 10^4. Multiply the base number, which is 10, by itself the number of times indicated by the exponent, which is four. You would do that like this:
10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10, 000
Plug the product -- which is 10,000 -- into the original equation to get this:
1.5625 x 10,000 = 15, 625
Therefore, the standard form of this number is 15,625.
For a number in expanded form, convert the number, using basic addition. For example, consider the expanded number 10,000 + 2000 + 100 + 10 + 9. Add up these numbers to get the standard form. Your equation would look like this:
10,000 + 2,000 + 100 + 10 + 9 = 12,119
Therefore, the standard form of the number is 12,119.
