The sequence is defined as

an = 3an - 1 + 7

This means that

a2 = 3(a(2 - 1) + 7

a2 = 3a1 + 7

From the information given ,

a1 = - 4

Thus,

a2 = 3 * - 4 + 7 = - 12 + 7

a2 = - 5

a3 = 3(a(3 - 1) + 7

a3 = 3a2 + 7

a3 = 3 * - 5 + 7 = - 15 + 7

a3 = - 8

a4 = 3(a(4 - 1) + 7

a4 = 3a3 + 7

a4 = 3 * - 8 + 7 = - 24 + 7

a4 = - 17

Thus, the first four terms of the sequence are

- 4, - 5, -

What's is jiri's age ? <br> Pamela is 5 years younger than jiri. The sum of their ages is 37
Mars2501 [29]
If Jiri is x, Pamela is x -5, and tehri ages combined would be 35 so;
x + x-5 = 35
collect the like terms
2x-5 = 35
add five to both sides
2x= 40
divide both sides by 2
x=20
Jiri's age is 20

Semmy [17]
Julie jogs 0.75miles each time. set 'x' to represent the unknown number of times. Total distance for the day is 6 miles. So, you multiply the distance of each run 0.75 times 'x' (unknown number of runs) and set this equal to 6 miles.
0.75x = 6   (divide each side by 0.75)
8 = x 

She ran 8 times each day.

Pls pls pls pls help, i will mark brainliest
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

B)  81°

Step-by-step explanation:

∡1 ≅ ∡5 because they are corresponding angles

∡5 ≅ ∡7 because they are vertical angles

therefore, ∡1 ≅ ∡7

since the angles are equal we can create the following equation:

3x + 18 = 2x + 39

x + 18 = 39

x = 21

∡7 = 2(21) + 39

∡7 = 42 + 39

∡7 = 81

What is the actual distance between these streets?
scoundrel [369]

It's D 4 3/8 miles

First you have to multiply 2 1/2 for the mile and 1 3/4 for the inches. You will get 4.375.Convert it to fraction which is 35/8 and simplify it to get 4 3/8.

Hope this helps!

Which choice is equivalent to the product below when x&gt;0 ?
Rzqust [24]

Answer: x/3 ==> C

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x/3)^1/2 * (x/6)^1/2=

(2x/3 * x/6)^1/2=

(2x^2/18)^1/2=

(2x^2)^1/2 / 18^1/2=

(2x^2)^1/2 / (2*9)^1/2=

(2x^2)^1/2 / 3*2^1/2=

2^1/2 * (2x^2)^1/2 / 3*2=

(2(2x^2))^1/2 / 6=

(4x^2)^1/2 / 6=

4^1/2 * (x^2)^1/2 / 6=

2x/6=x/3 ==> C
