Answer:

<em>{9,19,39,79}</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Recursive Sequences</u>

The recursive sequence can be identified because each term is given as a function of one or more of the previous terms. Being n an integer greater than 1, then:

f(n) = 2f(n-1)+1

f(1) = 4

To find the first four terms of the sequence, we set n to the values {2,3,4,5}

  • For n=2

f(2) = 2f(1)+1

Since f(1)=4:

f(2) = 2*4+1

f(2) = 9

  • For n=3

f(3) = 2f(2)+1

Since f(2)=9:

f(3) = 2*9+1

f(3) = 19

  • For n=4

f(4) = 2f(3)+1

Since f(3)=19:

f(4) = 2*19+1

f(4) = 39

  • For n=5

f(5) = 2f(4)+1

Since f(4)=39:

f(5) = 2*39+1

f(5) = 79

The first three terms of an arithmetic sequence are as follows. - 7, - 3, 1 Find the next two terms of this sequence
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

5, 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the next term in a sequence add the common difference d to the previous term.

d = a₂ - a₁ = - 3 - (- 7) = - 3 + 7 = 4

Thus

a₄ = a₃ + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5

a₅ = a₄ + 4 = 5 + 4 = 9

Marsha has budgeted no more than $3,000 on centerpieces for the tables at the reception, which inequality represents all possibl
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

x+y\leq 3000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Marsha has budgeted no more than $3,000 on centerpieces for the tables

x denotes the number of Guest Tables Lily Arrangements

y denotes the number of Family Table Rose Arrangements

To Find: Which inequality represents all possible combinations of x,  and y,  that Marsha can buy for no more than $3,000?

Solution :

Since there are x number of Guest Tables Lily Arrangements.

And there are y  number of Family Table Rose Arrangements

Since she cannot spend more than 3000 on centerpieces .

So, the inequality becomes:

x+y\leq 3000

Hence inequality represents all possible combinations of x and y that Marsha can buy for no more than $3,000:

x+y\leq 3000

A box of cereal states that there are 78 calories in a three fourths ​cup serving. What is the unit rate for calories per​ cup?
ladessa [460]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate = 78 / 3/4

= 78 * 4/3

= 26*4    (because 78 / 3 = 26)

= 104 calories per cup

There are 2 * 104 = 208 calories in 2 cuos of cereal..

Write an equation for the line below. Show work
Gekata [30.6K]

x=3 is your answer. This is because it only crosses the x-axis and this occurs at positive 3. y=3 on the other hand would be a horizontal line that only touches positive 3 on the y-axis.
