In each situation, write a recurrence relation, including base case(s), for the given function. briefly explain in words why thi

s recurrence describes the situation. you do not need to solve the recurrence (that is, get a closed-form formula). (a) in a round-robin thumb-wrestling tournament with n people, everybody thumb-wrestles with everybody else. let t(n) be the total number of thumb-wrestling matches taking place among the n people. write a recurrence for t(n).

A thumb-wrestling match requires two thumbs, so we can either suppose that we need at least two people (n\ge2), or allow one to thumb-wrestle one's self. In either case, we'd have t(1)=t(2)=1, so let's just say we need a minimum of two players.

If we add one more person to the set of players, then the first two people would need to play 1 additional match each. So t(3)=t(2)+2.

If we add one more person, then the first three people would again each have to play 1 more match with the new person. So t(4)=t(3)+3.

And so on, so that in general, the number of games needed for everyone to play exactly one match with everyone else is given recursively by

\begin{cases}t(2)=1\\t(n+1)=t(n)+n&\text{for }n\ge2\end{cases}

What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=−23x+5 and passes through the point (2, 11) ?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The equation would be y = 1/23x - 251/23

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, you need to locate the slope of the first equation. Since the slope is the coefficient of x, we know it to be -23. Now, the perpendicular slope is the opposite and reciprocal of that, which makes the new slope 1/23.

Now that we have this, we can use the point and the slope in point-slope form to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 11 = 1/23(x - 2)

y - 11 = 1/23x - 2/23

y = 1/23x - 251/23

Molly opened a bank account. She deposited $86.50 into her account every month for 20 months. She used $24.50 every month to pay
anastassius [24]

She spent $310 on the singing camp.

MY WORK:

I multiplied $86.50*20 because $86.50 is the amount she deposited for 20 months. $86.50*20=$1740.00

Then I multiplied $24.50*20 because she spent $24.50 for 20 months. $24.50*20= $490.00

Then I subtracted $1740.00-$490.00 because she spent $490 out of her bank account. $1740.00-$490.00=$1240.00

Finally, because its 1/4 of her money, I divided $1240.00 by 4. $1240 divided by 4= $310

Hope this helps!!

:)
