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}

Answer:

x = 2

y = -3

z = 4

( 2 , -3, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 3 ---- i

x – y =5 ---- ii

y - z = -7 ---- iii

ii + iii

x - z = -2 ---- iv

i + ii

2x + z = 8 --- v

iv + v

3x = 6

x = 2

x=2 substitute for v

z = 4

x =2 substitute for ii

y = -3

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

OMG! Don't do that! I am so sorry this is happening to you. Look I don't know how to comfort you. IF he keeps doing this tell your mom or litterally call 911. If he did it just on that day then try confronting him on it. And ask him why he did that! Don't self-harm you deserve so much more than that! You are awesome!
