Question:

Consider the sequence of numbers: \frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}

Which statement is a description of the sequence?

(A) The sequence is recursive, where each term is 1/4 greater than its preceding term.

(B) The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n) + 3/8 .

(C) The sequence is arithmetic, where each pair of terms has a constant difference of 3/4 .

(D) The sequence is arithmetic and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n)3/8.

Answer:

Option B:

The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8}  .

Explanation:

A sequence of numbers are

\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}

Let us first change mixed fraction into improper fraction.

\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{9}{8}, \frac{3}{2}, \frac{15}{8}

To find the pattern of the sequence.

To find the common difference between the sequence of numbers.

\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{6}{8}-\frac{3}{8}= \frac{3}{8}

\frac{9}{8}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{6}{8}= \frac{3}{8}

\frac{3}{2}-\frac{9}{8}=\frac{12}{8}-\frac{9}{8}= \frac{3}{8}

\frac{15}{8}-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{15}{8}-\frac{12}{8}= \frac{3}{8}

Therefore, the common difference of the sequence is 3.

That means each term is obtained by adding \frac{3}{8} to the previous term.

Hence, the sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8}  .

A decreased by 20% and then increased by 20% express using algebra<br> asapppppp
Ket [755]

Answer:

96%

Step-by-step explanation:

assume the whole number is x

the first thing is decreasing by 20 %

x - 20%x = 80% x

then now the 80%x is the whole number  

now It's the turn of increasing

80%x + 20% * (80% x) = 80%x + 16%x = 96% x

I hope this is hlepful to you !!!!

Simplify using the distributive property
ad-work [718]

Answer:

3/5 is the number that can be distributed across two terms inside parentheses.

you might not need it but:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>3/5(x - 10)</u> = 18 - 4x - 1

using distributive property, open the parentheses:

<u>3/5x - 6 </u>= 18 - 4x - 1

Simplify:

3/5x + 4x = 17 + 6

4⅗x = 23

x = 5

Answer:

BDC is half of mBC = 11°

Easily you see that C is A + BDC = 23°

Since C = 23° so mDC is twice = 46°
