A recursive rule for a geometric sequence is a1=3;an=12an−1 . What is the explicit rule for this sequence?

1 answer:

6 0

From the recursive rule, you can tell the initial value is 3 and the common ratio is 12. The explicit rule is always
.. (n-th term) = (initial value)*(common ratio)^(n -1)

Subsituting the values you know, you have
.. an = 3*12^(n-1)

A petting zoo has 5 lambs, 11 rabbits, 4 goats, and 4 piglets. Find the ratio of goats to the total

Cloud [144]

1:6 in simplest form.. there is 24 animals in total and there is 4 goats so the ratio would be 4:24 and then you divide 4 and 24 by 4 and get 1:6

Which equation has the same graph as 4x + 8y = 12?

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$4x + 8y = 12 \\ 4(x + 2y) = 12 \\ \frac{4(x + 2y)}{4} = \frac{12}{4} \\ x + 2y = 3$

1. determine if the functions are inverse functions

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

<u>Question 1</u>

The function $f(x) = x + 6$ is one-to-one, so it does have an inverse.

The inverse of +6 is -6, so $f^{-1}(x)=x-6$

Therefore, g(x) is the inverse of f(x).

<u>Question 2</u>

The function $f(x) = -3x -9$ is one-to-one, so it does have an inverse.

To find the inverse, replace f(x) with y:

$\implies y = -3x -9$

Rearrange the equation to make x the subject:

$\implies y+9= -3x$

$\implies x=-\dfrac13(y+9)$

$\implies x=-\dfrac13y-3$

Replace x with $f^{-1}(x)$ and y with x:

$\implies f^{-1}(x)=-\dfrac13x-3$

Therefore, g(x) is the inverse of f(x).
