A local high school held a two-day fundraiser selling lunches. The equations shown represent the amount of money the school coll

ected during the two days. {12x + 4y = 152} {32x + 12y = 420} In the equations, x represents the cost of a chicken lunch and y represents the cost of a vegetarian lunch. Which is the cost of the vegetarian lunch?

The given equations are

12x + 4y = 152 ...........1

32x + 12y = 420 .....2

Multiplying equation 1 by 3 to make  coefficient of y same we have:

36x+12y= 456

32x+12y=420

Subtracting the two equations we have:

4x=36.

Dividing by 4 both sides

x= 9.

Substituting x value in equation 1

12(9) + 4y = 152

108+4y=152

Subtracting 108 both sides: 4y=44.

Dividing both sides by 4.

y=11.

cost of the vegetarian lunch is $11.


In the equations, x represents the cost of a chicken lunch and y represents the cost of a vegetarian lunch.

Which equation represents the formula for the general term, gn, of the geometric sequence 3, 1, 1/3, 1/9, . . .?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Explicit form: g_n=3(\frac{1}{3})^{n-1}

Recursive form: g_n=\frac{1}{3}g_{n-1} with g_1=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is 3 and we are dividing by 3 each time.

Another way to say we are dividing by 3 each time is to say we are multiplying by factors of 1/3.

If the first term is a and r is the common ratio then the geometric sequence in explicit form is:

a_n=a(r)^{n-1}

g_n=3(\frac{1}{3})^{n-1}

The recursive form for a geometric sequence is a_n=ra_{n-1} with a_1=a where r is the common ratio and a is the first term.

So the recursive form for our sequence is g_n=\frac{1}{3}g_{n-1} with g_1=3.
