Answer:

C.a_1=3,a_n=\frac{1}{2}a_{n-1},n\geq 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

3,\frac{3}{2},\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{8},..

We have to find the recursive formula rule for this geometric sequence.

a_1=3

a_2=\frac{3}{2}

a_2=3\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times a_1

a_3=\frac{3}{4}

a_3=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{2}

a_3=\frac{1}{2}\times a_2

a_4=\frac{3}{8}

a_4=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{4}

a_4=\frac{1}{2}\times a_3

Therefore, the recursive rule

a_1=3,a_n=\frac{1}{2}a_{n-1},n\geq 2

Option C is true

The objective here is to find r (so called common ratio):
r=a_{n}/a_{n-1}=a_{2}/a_{1}= \frac{3}{2} : 3 = \frac{3}{2} * \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{2}
So assuming the first element of sequence is 3 (as you mentioned) we now can define the recursive rule for this geometric sequence:
a_{1}=3; a_{n}=\frac{1}{2}a_{n-1}

What is the answer to 3x+y=12
maw [93]
<span>Simplifying 3x + -1y = 12 Solving 3x + -1y = 12 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add 'y' to each side of the equation. 3x + -1y + y = 12 + y Combine like terms: -1y + y = 0 3x + 0 = 12 + y 3x = 12 + y Divide each side by '3'. x = 4 + 0.3333333333y Simplifying x = 4 + 0.3333333333y</span>

Can someone please help me on this problem
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is all sides added together.

l is length, w is width, and P is perimeter.

2l + 2w = P\\2(5x) + 2(x - 3) = 42\\10x + 2x - 6 = 42\\12x - 6 = 42\\12x = 48\\x = 4
