Answer: f(3) =6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A sequence is defined by the recursive function

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

f(1)= 10

Then f(2) can be written as

f(2)=f(1+1)\\\\\Rightarrow f(2)=f(1)-2\\\\\Rightarrow f(2)=10-2\\\\\Rightarrow f(2)=8

Similarly, f(3) can be written as

f(3)=f(2+1)\\\\\Rightarrow f(3)=f(2)-2\\\\\Rightarrow f(3)=8-2\\\\\Rightarrow f(3)=6

Therefore, the value of f(3) =6.

Use the formula V = s³, where V is the volume and s is the edge length of the cube, to solve this problem.
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Given that volume is:
V=s³
where:
s=side length
The volume of a cube whose side length, s=3/4 yards will be given by:
V=(3/4)³
Simplifying this we get:
V=27/64 yd³

Answer: 27/64 yd³

The formula A = Pe^rt calculates the amount an investment earning a nominal rate of r compounded continuously is worth. Show tha
8090 [49]

Answer:

t = In2/ r

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula : A = Pe^rt

For investment to double ;

Final amount (A) = 2 * initial investment (p)

A = 2p

Hence,

2p = pe^rt

2 = e^rt

Take the In of both sides

In2 = rt

Divide both sides by r

In2 /r = rt /r

In2/ r = t

t = In2/ r ; Hence, the proof

a stack of cards is placed next to a ruler, and the height of stack measured to be 3/4inches. how thick is one card
4vir4ik [10]

Total thickness of the stack of cards = 3/4 inch or 0.75 inch

In a full stack of cards, there are 52 cards.

Hence, the thickness of 52 cards = 0.75 inch.

To find the thickness of one card, we divide the total thickness with the total number of cards.

Thickness of one card = \frac{0.75}{52} = 0.014423 inch

1 inch = 2.54 cm

0.014423 inch is approximately equal to 0.34 cm.

Answer = 0.34 cm

For the following problem, assume that all given angles are in simplest form, so that if A is in QIV you may assume that 270° &l
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that angle A is in IV quadrant

So A/2 would be in II quadrant.

sin A = -1/3

cos A = \sqrt{1-sin^2 A} =\frac{2\sqrt{2} }{3}

(cos A is positive since in IV quadrant)

Using this we can find cos A/2

cosA = 2cos^2 \frac{A}{2} -1\\Or cos \frac{A}{2} =-\sqrt{\frac{1+cosA}{2} } =-\sqrt{\frac{3+2\sqrt{2} }{6} }
