If I understood correctly and didn't make any mistakes...
The volume of a rectangular prism is its length times width times height, or algebraically,
. You may be used to computing volume with numbers, but remember, a variable is a stand-in for a number. So you can solve this in the same way. Substitute
into the formula for volume. You get
, and you multiply these factors together. As you would with ordinary fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators across. You get
. It seems that the book wants you to simplify by bringing the 6 up to the denominator. Recall the rule
, if n is non-negative. The opposite applies so that
. For your final answer, you write
. This corresponds to
answer choice B.
Answer:
f(n)=f(n-1)+f(n-2)
f(1)=1x
f(2)=1x
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the fibonacci sequence with each term times x.
Notice, you are adding the previous two terms to get the third term per consecutive triples of the sequence.
That is:
1x+1x=2x
1x+2x=3x
2x+3x=5x
3x+5x=8x
So since we need the two terms before the third per each consecutive triple in the sequence, our recursive definition must include two terms of the sequence. People normally go with the first two.
f(1)=1x since first term of f is 1x
f(2)=1x since second term of f is 1x
Yes, I'm naming the sequence f.
So I said a third term in a consecutive triple of the sequence is equal to the sum of it's two prior terms. Example, f(3)=f(2)+f(1) and f(4)=f(3)+f(2) and so on...
Note, the term before the nth term is the (n-1)th term and the term before the (n-1)th term is the (n-2)th term. Just like before the 15th term you have the (15-1)th term and before that one you have the (15-2)th term. That example simplified means before the 15th term you have the 14th and then the 13th.
So in general f(n)=f(n-1)+f(n-2).
So the full recursive definition is:
f(n)=f(n-1)+f(n-2)
f(1)=1x
f(2)=1x
25% = 1/4
So to get the unknown number, multiply 9 by 4:
9 × 4 = 36
