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

Which of the following is one solution to the expression (ax + b)(cx - d) = 0 ?
V125BC [204]
We know that
if <span>(ax + b)(cx - d) = 0
then
</span><span>(ax + b)= 0-----> ax=-b------> x=-b/a
and
</span><span>(cx - d) = 0-----> cx=d------> x=d/c

therefore

the answer is the option
</span><span>C. -\frac{b}{a}</span>

3. Look at the picture.

We have the right angle triangle. We know the sum of measures of angles in triangle is equal 180°. Therefore:

x^o+90^o+43^o=180^o\\\\x^o+133^o=180^o\ \ \ |-133^o\\\\x^o=47^o

Answer:\ \boxed{47^o}

4.
Look at the picture.

Use Pythagorean theorem:

x^2+14^2=(10+x)^2\\\\x^2+196=10^2+2\cdot10\cdot x+x^2\ \ \ \ |-x^2\\\\196=100+20x\ \ \ |-100\\\\20x=96\ \ \ |:20\\\\x=4.8

Used:\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2

Answer:\ \boxed{4.8\ units}

5.
TRUE: 1; 2; 4

6.
We find a slope of the line OP:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\O(2;\ 6)\to x_1=2;\ y_1=6\\\\P(4;\ 3)\to x_2=4;\ y_2=3\\\\m=\dfrac{3-6}{4-2}=\dfrac{-3}{2}

We have: OP:\ y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+b

Now, we must find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line OP.
We know:

k:y=m_1x+b;\ l:y=m_2x+c\\\\k\ \perp\ l\iff m_1m_2=-1

therefore

-\dfrac{3}{2}m_2=-1\ \ \ |\cdot\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)\\\\m_2=\dfrac{2}{3}

So. We have the answer! :)

Answer:\ \boxed{y=\dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{3}}

Adam has the scatterplot shown for his data set, where snowfall is measured in inches, and he is trying to describe the line of
MissTica

Answer:

C) As the amount of snow increases, the number of accidents increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

An image showing the scatter plot is attached.

From the attached imaged, the scatter plot is a straight line which goes up along the X - Y axis.

X = snowfall

Y = accident

Since the scatter plot is going up increasingly for any value plotted; it means as the amount of snow increases, the number of accidents increases. That is, as X (snowfall) increases Y (accident) increases also.
