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

Given the function f(x)=x^2+2x+1, find each value of the function
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

1 9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

F(1/4) means u plug in 1/4 for x

so the equation would be

f(1/4)=1/4^2+2 1/4 + 1

f(1/4)=1/16+1/2+1

f(1/4)= 9/16 +1

f(1/4)= 1 9/16

its not nine teen its one and 9 over 16 just clarification

Sketch the line passing through the pair of points and identify the line as having a positive slope, a negative slope, a zero sl
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

line will be horizontal running through (0,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

6,2
1,2
2-2/1-6 = 0/-5 = 0 slope. 2 = 0x6+b, 2=b. line will be y=b , y=2.

Please help. It’s a multiple choice question. I’ve my answer, but I’m not sure.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

66 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

angle FAB = 48 degree

angle ECB = 18 degree

in triangle HBC , angle H is also 48 degree degree since the line is parallel the connection between angle H and angle A is alternate interior angle and alternate interior angle are always equal.

so angle H = 48 degree

in triangle HBC

angle H + angle C = angle ABC (sum of two interior opposite angles are equal to the exterior angle formed)

48 + 18 = angle ABC

66 = angle ABC
