Answer:

Let the first five terms of a sequence be, 4,8,12,20,24

Ok, let me explain the meaning of term explicit and Recursive formula.

Explicit formula ,is the general formula to find any  term of the sequence.

And, Recursive formula, is the method by which, we can find the nth term of the sequence if (n-1)th term of the sequence is known.

So,the explicit formula for the sequence is,

y = 4 n, where , n is any natural number.

And the recursive formula is .

y = 4 (n-1), with the help of (n-1)th term we can find nth term.

First term =4=4 × 1

Second term =8 =4 × 2

Third term =12=4×3

Fourth term =16 =4 × 4

.....................

...........................

.................................

(n-1) th term =4 × (n-1)

nth term =4 × n

Applying the simple procedure by looking at the first , second and the way the next term goes , the general and recursive formula is obtained.

As, you said you don't want simpler sequence

Consider the first five terms of the sequence, 0, 3,8,15, 24.

Explicit formula =n² + 2 n

Recursive formula=(n-1)²+2(n-1)

If,you will look at the sequence, it is neither Arithmetic nor geometric .

First term =0=0²+0×0

Second term =3=1+2=1²+2 × 1

Third term =8=4+4=2²+2×2

Fourth term =15=9+6=3²+2×3

Fifth term =24=16 +8=4²+2×4

So, Explicit formula= n²+ 2 n, where n is a whole number.

Answer: The answer is 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are to write the first five terms of a sequence, along with the explicit and recursive formula for the general term of the sequence.

Let the first five terms of a sequence be  5, 10, 20, 40 and 80. These terms are taken from a geometric sequence with first term a_1 5 and common ratio r=2.

Therefore, we have

a_2=a_1\times r,\\\\a_3=a_2\times r,\ldots

Therefore, the recursive formula is

a_{n+1}=2a_n,~~a_1=5.

And explicit formula is

a_n=a_1r^{n-1}.

Paper 3 Foundation Practice Questions. Monday 13th June 2022
erica [24]
All you have to do is divide the number by the denominator which is 8. So 510 divided by 8.

Which will give you 63.75.

Then you times it by the numerator which is 3 so 63.75 x 3

And you are left with £191.25 which is 3/8 of 510

The polygon circumscribes a circle. What is the perimeter of the polygon?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

68 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the concept of tangents drawn from external point to a circle are congruent, we can find the Perimeter of polygon.

Perimeter of polygon  \\ = 2 \times 5 + 2 \times 6 + 2 \times 8 + 2 \times 15 \\  = 10 + 12 + 16 + 30 \\  = 68 \: cm \\

With a rate of change = 0.10 & an initial value = 10, how would you represent this as a linear equation?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

y = .10x +10

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equation is linear, we can write it in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The y intercept is where we start, or the initial value

The slope is also call the rate of change

y = .10x +10
