Answer:

The given sequence 6, 7, 13, 20, ... is a recursive sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

As the given sequence is

6, 7, 13, 20, ...

  • It cannot be an arithmetic sequence as the common difference between two consecutive terms in not constant.

As

d = 7-6=1,  d = 13-7=6

As d is not same. Hence, it cannot be an arithmetic sequence.

  • It also cannot be a geometrical sequence and exponential sequence.

It cannot be geometric sequence as the common ratio between two consecutive terms in not constant.

As

r = 7-6=1,  r = 13-7=6

r = \frac{7}{6},  r = \frac{13}{7}

As r is not same, Hence, it cannot be a geometric sequence or exponential sequence. As exponential sequence and geometric sequence are basically the same thing.

So, if we carefully observe, we can determine that:

  • The given sequence 6, 7, 13, 20, ... is a recursive sequence.

Please have a close look that each term is being created by adding the preceding two terms.

For example, the sequence is generated by starting from 1.

     {\displaystyle F_{1}=1

and

     {\displaystyle F_{n}=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}}

for n > 1.

Find the value of x. Give your answer in simplest radical form.
MrMuchimi
Answer: x = 5*sqrt(10)
"sqrt" stands for "square root"

-------------------------------------------------------

Refer to the attached image. The figure is not to scale. Notice how I've added in y and z (blue and red respectively)
The length y is the bottom horizontal leg for the triangle on the right.
The length z is the bottom horizontal leg for the triangle on the left.

To find x, we need to find y first, which will help us find z, and then we can finally get to x.

Let's find y first
To do this, we use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
y^2 + 9^2 = 15^2
y^2 + 81 = 225
y^2 + 81-81 = 225-81
y^2 = 144
sqrt(y^2) = sqrt(144)
y = 12 ... keep in mind that y is a length, so it needs to be positive

Notice how the y and z lengths combine to form a total length of 25 units
Therefore,
y+z = 25
12+z = 25
12+z-12 = 25-12
z = 13

Now that we know z = 13, we can find x. Again we use the pythagorean theorem one last time
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
z^2 + 9^2 = x^2
13^2 + 9^2 = x^2
169 + 81 = x^2
250 = x^2
x^2 = 250
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(250)
x = sqrt(250)
x = sqrt(25*10)
x = sqrt(25)*sqrt(10)
x = 5*sqrt(10)
This is in simplest radical form as we can't factor 10 any further (there are no perfect square factors that go into 10). This is the exact length of side x

Note: using a calculator, 5*sqrt(10) = 15.8113883008419 approximately
