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, -

Answer:

  • B. When the peak temperature is 40°C, 72 units of electricity are used on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see the relationship is closer to linear in the interval 30 to 40

<u>Approximate points:</u>

  • (30, 34) and (34, 54)

<u>The slope of the line:</u>

  • m = (54 - 34)/(34- 30) = 20/4 = 5

<u>The line is:</u>

  • y - 34 = 5(x - 30)
  • y = 5x - 116

<u>At x = 40, the value of y would be:</u>

  • y = 5*40 - 116 = 84

The closet option is B

Answer:

In graph theory and computer science, an adjacency matrix is a square matrix used to represent a finite graph. The elements of the matrix indicate whether pairs of vertices are adjacent or not in the graph.

In the special case of a finite simple graph, the adjacency matrix is a (0,1)-matrix with zeros on its diagonal. If the graph is undirected, the adjacency matrix is symmetric. The relationship between a graph and the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of its adjacency matrix is studied in spectral graph theory.

The adjacency matrix should be distinguished from the incidence matrix for a graph, a different matrix representation whose elements indicate whether vertex–edge pairs are incident or not, and degree matrix which contains information about the degree of each vertex.

Karen surveyed students in one middle school about their favorite band. Of the 1,156 students in the middle school, 65 sixth-gra
ValentinkaMS [17]
I believe the answer is B.



Explanation: In the problem, it states that “Karen says MOST middle school students’ favorite band is Rhonda and the Gees.” Pay attention to the keyword, most. Only 65 students like Rhonda and the Gees, so it is too small to represent a middle school of 1,156. So, therefore, the answer should be B.
