Answer:
The explicit formula

The recursive formula
for 
if 
Step-by-step explanation:
If a sequence is arithmetical then the difference between any of its consecutive terms will be constant
3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75,

The difference between the consecutive terms remains constant so the sequence is arithmetic.
The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is:

Where d is the constant difference between the terms.

is the first term of the sequence.

So

Finally, the recursive formula is:

Answer:
x = 5/33 or 0.151515151
Step-by-step explanation:
7(-6x-2) = 8(3x-4)
step 1: simplify the equation.
-42x - 14 = 24x - 4
step 2: isolate the variable (using the balance method).
-42x - 14 + 14 = 24x - 4 + 14
-42x = 24x + 10
-42x - 24x = 24x - 24x + 10
-66x = 10
step 3: solve for x.
x = 10 ÷ -66
x = 5/33
The velocity v and maximum height h of the water being pumped into the air are related by the equation
v= 
where g = 32
(a) To find the equation that will give the maximum height of the water , solve the equation for h
v= 
Take square root on both sides
= 2gh
Divide by 2g on both sides
= h
So maximum height of the water h = 
(b) Maximum height h= 80
velocity v= 75 ft/sec
Given g = 32
h = 
h = 
h= 87.89 ft
The pump withe the velocity of 75 ft/sec reaches the maximum height of 87.89 feet. 87.86 is greater than the maximum height 80 feet.
So the pump will meet the fire department needs.
1 decigram = 100 milligrams
6 decigrams = 600 milligrams
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the given parabolic mirror opens upwards and vertex=(0,0)
Focus point of the parabolic mirror is located 2 inches from the vertex of the mirror. ∴ p=2
Since, the parabola opens upward, then the equation of the parabola is of the form 
Substitute the value of p=2 in this, we get the equation of the parabolic mirror

Hence, the equation of the parabola that models the cross section of the mirror is
