Jared creates a number sequence that has a first term of 2 and a second of term of 5. Each term after the second is created by s

ubtracting the term before the previous term from twice the previous term. He uses S (t) to denote term number t in his sequence. For example, S (1) =2 and S (2) = 5

The rule for the sequence is S(n) = 2S(n-1) - S(n-2)

Alternative form: S(n) = S(n-1) + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we know the first two terms of the sequence:

S(1) = 2

S(2) = 5

We are told that each term after the second is created by subtracting the term before the previous term from twice the previous term. In other words, if we call:

S(n) the current term

S(n-1) the previous term

S(n-2) the term before the previous term

This statement translates into the following sequence:

S(n) = 2S(n-1) - S(n-2)

Because we are subtracting the term before the previous term, S(n-2), from twice the previous term, 2S(n-1).

We can apply now the rule to find the first few terms of the sequence after S(1) and S(2):

S(3) = 2S(2) - S(1) = 2(5)-2=10-2 = 8

S(4) = 2S(3) - S(2) = 2(8)-5=16-5 = 11

S(5) = 2S(4) - S(3) = 2(11)-8=22-8 = 14

We notice also that each term of the sequence is just equal to the previous term plus 3, so the sequence can also be written as

S(n) = S(n-1) + 3

Your child is prescribed amoxicillin (40mg/kg/day; not to exceed 1500 mg per 24 hour period) to be
Reptile [31]

Answer:

491 mg per dose

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kg ≈ 2.2 lbs

81/2.2 36.82 kg

40*36.82 ≈ 1472.8 mg/day

1472.8/3 ≈ 490.93

to the nearest mg = 491 mg per dose

Find the length of the segment indicated. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

<em>Length of x ⇒ ( About ) 11.5; Option C</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>~ Let us plan this question step-by-step. We know that the line segment with length 13.1 is a radii to the circle, as well as a hypotenuse to a right triangle. Respectively the hypotenuse of another triangle is a hypotenuse as well. By radii ≅, these two part of these two triangles are ≅ ~</em>

1. If these two parts are ≅, the triangle with leg x has a hypotenuse of 13.1 as well ( through ≅ ). This would mean that Pythagorean theorem is applicable for this triangle, as to solve for line segment x.

2. By Pythagorean Theorem ⇒

6.2^2 + x^2 = 13.1^2,

38.44 + x^2 = 171.61,

x^2 = 133.17

<em>Length of x ⇒ ( About ) 11.5</em>
