Answer:  a_n = 4(1.1)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the initial number of hot dogs = 4

According to the question,

The number of hot dogs is increasing by 110% of that of previous day,

Thus, the number of hot dog in first day = 4

Second day = 110 % of 4 = 4.4

Third day = 110% of 4.4 = 4.84

Fourth day = 110% of 4.84 = 5.324

So on.......

Thus, we get a GP,

4, 4.4, 4.84, 5.324 ..........................

That having common ratio, d = 1.1

And, first term, a = 4

Since, the nth term of the GP, a_n = a\times d^{n-1}

Hence, the required explicit formula of the given situation,

a_n = 4(1.1)^{n-1}

Answer:

The number of hot dogs on any particular day is given by:

D_n=(1.1)^{n-1}\times 4 where n represents the nth day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D_n represents the number of hot dogs in nth day of his training.

As it is given that  he eats 4 hot dogs on his first day of training that means:

D_1=4

Now it is also given that:

he plans to eat 110% of the number of hot dogs he ate the previous day.

i.e. the recurrence relation is given as:

D_n=110\%\times D_{n-1}

which could also be written as:

D_n=1.1\times D_{n-1}

Now:

D_2=1.1\times D_1=1.1\times 4\\\\D_3=1.1\times D_2=1.1\times 1.1\times 4=(1.1)^2\times 4\\\\D_4=1.1\times D_3=(1.1)^3\times 4\\\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\D_n=(1.1)^{n-1}\times 4

Hence, the number of hot dogs on any particular day is given by:

D_n=(1.1)^{n-1}\times 4 where n represents the nth day.

2) Evaluate 9 X 364 – 9 X 125 – 9 X 39 without the use of your calculator
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

<em>9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39 = 1,800</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Mental Calculation</em>

If we detect known patterns in the calculations, we could easily give their results without the use of calculators.

We are given the expression to evaluate:

9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39

The first thing to note is the 9 is a common factor of all terms, thus we take it out:

9*(364 - 125 - 39)

The negative numbers can be easily added

     125

+     39

------------

     164

Now our expression is much easier:

9*(364 - 164)

The subtraction of 364-164 is 200, thus the result of the operations is:

9*200. We only need to recall 9*2=18 and add two zeros to get 1,800, thus:

9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39 = 1,800

Find the range of each function for the domain {-4, -2, 0, 1.5, 4}. f(x) = 5x^2 + 4
andrew11 [14]
Substitute x with the members of the domain.
f(x) = 5x² + 4

Substitute with the domain of -4
f(x) = 5x² + 4
f(-4) = 5(-4)² + 4
f(-4) = 5(16) + 4
f(-4) = 80 + 4
f(-4) = 84

Substitute with the domain of -2
f(x) = 5x² + 4
f(-2) = 5(-2)² + 4
f(-2) = 5(4) + 4
f(-2) = 20 + 4
f(-2) = 24

Substitute with the domain of 0
f(x) = 5x² + 4
f(0) = 5(0)² + 4
f(0) = 5(0) + 4
f(0) = 0 + 4
f(0) = 4

Substitute with the domain of 1.5
f(x) = 5x² + 4
f(1.5) = 5(1.5)² + 4
f(1.5) = 5(2.25) + 4
f(1.5) = 11.25 + 4
f(1.5) = 15.25

Substitute with the domain of 4
f(x) = 5x² + 4
f(4) = 5(4)² + 4
f(4) = 5(16) + 4
f(4) = 80 + 4
f(4) = 84

The range of the function for those domain is {4, 24, 15.25, 84}
