What is the recursive rule for this geometric sequence?

Mathematics

Flauer [41]3 years ago

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}

How is the derivative of a function related to the slop of the function?
statuscvo [17]

Hi there!

The derivative of the function is the slope of the function at a specific x-value, or its instantaneous rate of change.

For example, take the equation y = x².

Using the power rule, we get:

y' = 2x

If we plug in any x-value into this equation, we can find the slope of the function at any point.

Ex:

x = 0; 2(0) = slope of 0

x = 2; 2(2) = slope of 4

frutty [35]

Answer:

y = 0.00587x +1986.406

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the population of a city increased steadily over a ten-year span. The following ordered pairs show the population x and the year y over the ten-year span in the form (x, y) for specific recorded years.

x y

 

2500 2001

2650 2002

3000 2004

3500 2007

4200 2011

 

 

Slope 0.005865485

Intercept 1986.406413

So regression line is

y = 0.00587x +1986.406

When population = 15000

0.00587(17000)+1986.406\\=2074.389
