Answer:

3) a_n=-2a_{n-1}, a_1=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the explicit rule for a sequence is a_n=5(-2)^{n-1}.

Now we need to find about what is the recursive rule for the sequence and match with the given choices to find the correct choice.

1) a_n=-2a_{n+1}, a_1=5

2) a_n=-5a_{n+1}, a_1=2

3) a_n=-2a_{n-1}, a_1=5

4) a_n=-5a_{n-1}, a_1=2

Plug n=1 into given formula to get first term

a_n=5(-2)^{n-1}

a_1=5(-2)^{1-1}=5(-2)^{0}=5(1)=5

base of the exponent part is (-2) so that means we need to multiply -2 to the previous term to get nth term

Hence correct choice is: 3) a_n=-2a_{n-1}, a_1=5

How do we multiply numbers
zavuch27 [327]

To multiply a number, simply take a number (Let's say 4) and another number (Let's say 3). If you multiply 4 by 3, you are simply taking the number 4, and adding it to itself 3 times (4 + 4 + 4).

I hope this makes sense, please tell me if you need some more information.

Hope this helps!

To explain:The reason for the statement to be incorrect.A person participates in a weekly office pool in which he has one chance
stepan [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - given approach is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

P = probability of winning = 1/10

q = probability of not winning = 1- (1/10) = 9/10

x = no. of winning

then, p (x ≥ 1) = 1 - p (x < 1)

= 1 - p (x=0)

= 1 - ⁵C₀ (1/10)^⁰ (9/10)^(5-0)

= 1 - (1) (1) (9/10)^5

=  1 - (9/10)^5
