3 0

The correct option is the last:

a_n = -2a_{n-1}+1

In fact, every term in the sequence is one more than twice the opposite of the previous one:

We start with 3. Twice its opposite is -6. Plus one, we get -5.

We start with -5. Twice its opposite is 10. Plus one, we get 11.

We start with 11. Twice its opposite is -22. Plus one, we get -21.

Yves bought 420 tropical fish for a museum display. He bought 6 times as many parrotfish as angelfish. How many of each type of
Bond [772]
Given:
420 tropical fishes
angel fish = x
parrot fish = 6x

x + y = 420
y = 6x          Choice D.

x + y = 420
y = 6x 

x + 6x = 420 
7x = 420 
x = 420 / 7
x = 60 number of angelfish

y = 6x
y = 6(60)
y = 360 number of parrot fish

A prism is created using 2 regular pentagons as bases. The apothem of each pentagon is 2.8 centimeters. Which expression represe
Tresset [83]
The expression representing the volume of the prism is given as:
Volume=[base area]*[height]
base area is the area of the pentagon;
The area of pentagon is given by:
Area of pentagon=a^2ntan(180/n)
a=apothem length
n=number of sides
Area=2.8^2*5tan(180/5)
Area=28.48=28.5 cm^2
Therefore the expression for the volume of the prism with height,h, will be:
volume=28.5h cm^3

Write the explicit equation for the sequence 5,8,11,14
mamaluj [8]
Consecutive terms differ by 3, so

a_n=a_{n-1}+3=a_{n-2}+2\times3=a_{n-3}+3\times3=\cdots=a_1+(n-1)\times3

Since the first term is a_1=5, the formula for the sequence is

a_n=5+3(n-1)=3n+2
