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, -

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Average change in temperature is - 2.8 Fahrenheit per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average change in temperature is the change in temperature divided by the time taken for the change.

Change in temperature = (-11.2) F- 0 F

                                       = -11.2 F

Time taken for the change in temperature = 10 pm - 6 pm

                                                                       = 4 hours

Average change in temperature = Change in temperature / time taken for the change

                                                      = \frac{-11.2}{4}

                                                      = - 2.8 Fahrenheit per hour

If 12 and 20 each divide K without a remainder, what is the value of K?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Factors of 12 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

In both lists of factors, 4 is in common. Therefore, the value of K is 4 because it can divide into both 12 and 20 without a remainder. 2 is also another possible value of K.
