Answer:

f(n)= -6.5n +14.5

f(1)= 8, f(n+1) = f(n) - 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

the arithmetic sequence 8, 1.5, –5, –11.5 . . .

First term is 8

Now we find difference between the terms

1.5 - 8= -6.5

-5-1.5= -6.5

difference is -6.5

The formula is f(n)= a1 + (n-1)d

where a1 is the first term and d is the difference

f(n)= 8 + (n-1)(-6.5)

f(n)= 8 -6.5n+6.5

f(n)= -6.5n +14.5

To get recursive formula we use

f(n+1) = f(n)+ difference

f(1)= 8, f(n+1) = f(n) - 6.5

dolphi86 [110]
  x =  3 - (3×6) + 2.        We perform the operation in the bracket first.

  x =  3 - 18 + 2

  x =  -15 + 2 = 2 -15 = -13

 x  = -13

A pharmacy claims that the average medication costs $32 but it could differ as much as $8. Write and solve an absolute value ine
gogolik [260]
 <span>It looks like you're supposed to pick a combination of two answers: 
an absolute-value inequality, and 
a sentence describing the meaning of that inequality. 

We've got two choices for each, and therefore four possible combinations of choices. 

First, let's tackle the sentence description. We're told that 
"it [the cost] could differ [from the average of $32] as much as $8." 
That sets a maximum value for the difference; it's UP TO $8. 
If the cost is less than average, it could be as little as 
$32 - $8 = $24 
and if the cost is more than average, it could be as much as 
$32 + $8 = $40. 
So the medication costs range from $24 to $40, and we want an answer that states that. 

Now for the inequalities: 
|x - 32| describes the SIZE of the difference. Using the absolute-value function means we don't distinguish between 
x - 32 
and 
32 - x 
as far as our interests are concerned; we eliminate the sign from the subtraction and just look at the size of the difference. 

But in the case we're looking at, we've got a MAXIMUM value for the difference; it can't be more than 8. The inequality 
|x - 32| ≥ 8 
says the difference is 8 or MORE, so we don't want that. Instead, we want 
|x - 32| ≤ 8 
which says the difference is anywhere from 0 to 8. 

Combining these conclusions, we see we're looking for this answer: 
|x - 32| ≤ 8; The medication costs range from $24 to $40 
which is the third one listed.</span>

The amount of time it takes p people to paint d doors varies directly with the number of doors and inversely with the number of
Talja [164]

Step-by-step explanation:

time ∝ number of door 1

time . ∝ 1/number of people. 2

compare equation 1 and 2

time . ∝ number of door / number of people

put k as constant

time = k number of door / number of people. 3

time =2. people=4 door = 10

putting in equation 3

2 = k (10)/(4)

2×4/10 = k

8/10 =k

4/5 =k

putting in equation 3

time= 4/5 number of door / number of people

now time =5 door= 25 people=?

5=4/5 (5)/ (number of people)

number of people =4/5 ×25/5

number of people= 4

Please help with 5 and 6
Lana71 [14]
The answer for 5. is y+5. In an isosceles triangle, 2 of the sides are congruent. If the base is 4y+2, the other 2 sides must equal to 2y+10. Since both sides are congruent the only answer would be y+5.

Hope that helped :))))
