The formula
a(n) = 2 - 5(n-1)
is in the form
a(n) = a1 + d(n-1)
where
a1 = first term = 2
d = -5 = common difference
The first term is carried over to the recursive formula. We start with a1 = 2. The next term after that is found by subtracting 5 from the previous term. So
second term = (first term) - 5
third term = (second term) - 5
and so on
The recursive step would be
a(n) = a(n-1)-5
So that's why the answer is choice C
Answer:
The speed of the boat in still water = 8 Km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed of the boat be x
According to question
(x-4)15 = (x+4)5
3x-12 = x+4
⇒x = 8 km/hr
It would be: 178.90 * 3.75%
= 178.90 * 0.0375
= 6.71
In short, Sales tax would be $6.71
Hope this helps!
P^-4 x -5p
In properties of exponents, if the exponent is negative then you move the variable with the negative exponent to the denominators place and it changes to positive and the numerator becomes 1.
p^-4=1/(p^4)
Also, if no exponent is present it is understood to be 1.
Keeping this in mind,
p^-4 x -5p
1/(p^4) x -5p^1 substituted p^-4 by 1/p^4 and added ^1 to -5p
-5p^1/p^4 multiplied-5p^1 to 1
-5/p^3 simplified
