horsena [70]3 years ago

Answer:

\text{\bf{C.}}\quad a_n=4+(n-1)(-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence that is described by the explicit formula ...

  a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

can also be described by the recursive formula ...

  \left \{\begin{array}{l}a_1=\text{(first term)}&a_n=a_{n-1}+d&\end{array}\right.

Matching parts of the formulas, we see that a1 = 4, d = -7. Putting these values into the explicit formula gives ...

a_n=4+(n-1)(-7)

How many liters of water must Sharon add to 2 liters of a sugar and water solution that is 36% sugar to create a solution that i
Dahasolnce [82]

The amount of sugar x in the starting solution contributes to a 36% concentration, so we have

\dfrac x2=0.36\implies x=0.64

units of sugar in the solution.

Into this solution, Sharon wants to pour y liters of water to obtain a smaller concentration of sugar in the overall solution:

\dfrac{0.64}{2+y}=0.12\implies\dfrac{16}3=2+y\implies y=\dfrac{10}3\approx3.33

So Sharon needs to add \dfrac{10}3 liters of water to the solution to get the desired concentration.

In the function f(x) = 4(x2 − 6x + ____) + 20, what number belongs in the blank to complete the square?
Savatey [412]
The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: In the function f(x) = 4(x2 − 6x + ____) + 20, what number belongs in the blank to complete the square?

x2 - 6x + 9

So the answer on the blank space is 9. It should be a perfect square.
= 6/2
= 3^2
= 9

What's the concavity of f(x)=x^2+4x
Anna71 [15]
\bf f(x)=x^2+4x\qquad \cfrac{df}{dx}=2x+4\qquad \boxed{f''(x)=2}\impliedby &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{just a positive}\\&#10;constant&#10;\end{array}

there are no inflection points, because it never changes concavity, is just a constant and thus for any region over the x-axis, will always be a positive value, and thus is always "concave up".
