Answer:

  Recursive: f(1) = 1; f(n) = f(n-1)/3

  Equation: f(x) = 5/3·(1/3)^(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

You know this is an exponential function because sequential lines in the table have a common ratio of f(x) values:

  f(2)/f(1) = (5/9)/(5/3) = 3/9 = 1/3

  f(3)/f(2) = (5/27)/(5/9) = 9/27 = 1/3

and it continues like that.

Besides telling you the function is exponential, it also tells you that each term is 1/3 of the previous term.

<h3>Recursive formula</h3>

The value of f(1) is read from the table. For x = 1, that value is ...

  f(1) = 5/3

As we noticed above, each term is 1/3 the previous term, so the recursive relation is ...

  f(n) = (1/3)·f(n-1)

<h3>Equation</h3>

The general form of the equation for a geometric (exponential) relation is ...

  f(x) = f(1)·r^(x-1) . . . . . . where f(1) is the first term, and r is the common ratio

For this function, we have f(1) = 5/3 and r = 1/3, so the equation is ...

  f(x) = 5/3·(1/3)^(x-1)

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

When given values of x that count from 1, we often express the equation in terms of (x-1). That equation can be simplified so the exponent is x.

  f(x) = 5·(1/3)^x

I'll give brainliest for the first and correct answer! The perimeter of a triangle is 135. The sides have lengths a, b, and c. T
irina [24]

Answer:

  (a, b, c) = (30, 50, 55)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we rewrite the ratio of A to B so it has the same number of ratio units as in the ratio of A to C, we have ...

  A : B = 3 : 5 = 6 : 10

  A : C = 6 : 11

so ...

  A : B : C = 6 : 10 : 11

The total number of ratio units is 27. They stand for 135 real units, so each one stands for 135/27 = 5 real units.

Multiplying the last ratio statement by 5, we find the lengths of each of the sides.

  A : B : C = 6 : 10 : 11 = 30 : 50 : 55

The side lengths are (a, b, c) = (30, 50, 55).

Real estate ads suggest that 56 % of homes for sale have​ garages, 27 % have swimming​ pools, and 16 % have both features. ​a) W
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

a) 0.4

b) 0.28

c) The events are not independent

d) The events are not mutually exclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Lets call:

Gar = {homes with garage}

Pool = {homes with pool},  

A = {homes with pool and garage}  = Gar ∩ Pool

The data we are given is:

P(Gar) = 0.56

P(Pool) = 0.27

P(A) = 0.16

a) B = {homes with garage but not pool}. This set B is the set Gar without set A: B = Gar / A  

P(B) = P(Gar) - P(A) = 0.4

b) This is a conditional probability:

P(Pool | Gar) = P(Gar ∩ Pool) / P(Gar) = 0.16/0.56 = 0.28

c) To be independent events, it must be, by definition:

P(Gar ∩ Pool) = P(Gar) * P(Pool)

0.16 ≠ 0.56*0.27 = 0.15

Then, the events Gar and Pool are not independent

d) Gar and Pool are not mutually exclusive, because there are houses with both pool and garage. We know that because P(A) is not zero.
