Find a12 of the sequence 1/4, 7/12, 11/12, 5/4

Mathematics

UNO [17]3 years ago

1/4 = 3/12, and 5/4 = 15/12, so it looks like there's a common difference between terms of 4/12 = 1/3. The the n-th term in the sequence is given recursively by

\begin{cases}a_1=\frac14\\a_n=a_{n-1}+\frac13&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}

By substitution, we get

a_n=a_{n-1}+\dfrac13\implies a_n=\left(a_{n-2}+\dfrac13\right)+\dfrac13

a_n=a_{n-2}+\dfrac23

and doing this again and again until we stop with an expression containing a_1, we find that

a_n=a_1+\dfrac{n-1}3

a_n=\dfrac{4n-1}{12}

Then the 12th term in the sequence is

a_{12}=\dfrac{4\cdot12-1}{12}=\boxed{\dfrac{47}{12}}

The answer actually is 4,245 BUT that is the correct way to do it because you take the smaller population away from the larger population in order to find their difference in sizes.

“Write an equation in standard form of the horizontal line that goes through (-7, 10)”
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A horizontal line is only concerned with the y value. The equation is y = 10 because that is the point that the line must go through.

The x value does not matter as long as the y value is given as 10. The domain is any real value. The range is 10
