Describe the rule for the sequence 2, 1, 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 1/7,...
Triss [41]

Multiply 2 by 1/2 to get 1.

Multiply 1 by 2/3 to get 2/3.

Multiply 2/3 by 3/4 to get 6/12 = 1/2.

Multiply 1/2 by 4/5 to get 4/10 = 2/5.

Multiply 2/5 by 5/6 to get 10/30 = 1/3.

Multiply 1/3 by 6/7 to get 6/21 = 2/7. (I suspect there's a typo in the question.)

And so on, so that the <em>n</em>th term in the sequence is multiplied by <em>n</em>/(<em>n</em> + 1) to get the (<em>n</em> + 1)th term.

Recursively, the sequence is given by

\begin{cases}a_1=2\\a_n=\dfrac{n-1}na_{n-1}&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}

We can solve this exactly by iterating:

a_n=\dfrac{n-1}na_{n-1}=\dfrac{n-1}n\dfrac{n-2}na_{n-1}=\dfrac{n-1}n\dfrac{n-2}{n-1}\dfrac{n-3}{n-2}a_{n-3}=\cdots

and so on down to

a_n=\dfrac{(n-1)\cdot(n-2)\cdot(n-3)\cdot\cdots\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}{n\cdot(n-1)\cdot(n-2)\cdot\cdots\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2}a_1

or

a_n=\dfrac{(n-1)!}{n!}a_1

and with lots of cancellation, we end up with

a_n=\dfrac{a_1}n=\boxed{\dfrac2n}

Find the missing value of the direct variation (2,5) (5,y)
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The missing value y=12.5 and we have (5,12.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used for direct variation is:

y\: \alpha \:x\\y=kx

We need to find missing value (2,5)(5,y)

First we will find k, and then y

We have x=2, y=5

Find k:

y=kx\\5=k(2)\\k=\frac{5}{2}\\k=2.5

Now, we cam find missing value in (5,y)

We have x=5, k=2.5 and y=?

y=kx\\y=2.5(5)\\y=12.5

So, the missing value y=12.5 and we have (5,12.5)

Select the correct answer. A linear function has a y-intercept of -12 and a slope of 3/2. What is the equation of the line? y =
aniked [119]

Answer:

The equation of the line is:

  • y\:=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-12

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given

  • y-intercept b = -12
  • slope m = 3/2

now substituting b = -12 and m = 3/2 in the slope-intercept form of line equation

y = mx+b

y\:=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:+\:\left(-12\right)

y\:=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-12

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

  • y\:=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-12

Help pleaseee :) tyy
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The slope is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we pick 2 points (x, y):

(0, -2) and (1, 2)

Then, we use the slope (m) formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Given:

y2 = 2

y1 = -2

x2 = 1

x1 = 0

Work:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (2 + 2)/(1 - 0)

m = 4/1

m = 4
