Find the explicit formula for a 1 =-4,a n =a n-1 +9,n>=2

Mrrafil [7]

Given:

$a_1=-4$ and $a_n=a_{n-1}+9$ where $n\geq 2$ .

To find:

The explicit formula for the given recursive formula.

Solution:

We know that recursive formula of an AP is:

$a_n=a_{n-1}+d$

Where, d is the common difference.

We have,

$a_n=a_{n-1}+9$

Here, d=9.

The first term of the AP is $a_1=-4$ .

The explicit formula for an AP is:

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

Substituting $a_1=-4$ and $d=9$ , we get

$a_n=-4+(n-1)9$

$a_n=-4+9n-9$

$a_n=-13+9n$

Therefore, the required explicit formula for the given sequence is $a_n=-13+9n$ .

The length of a rectangle is 9 centimeters more than half

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

l = 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the width of the rectangle as "w" and the length of the rectangle as "w/2 + 9".

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding up the value of all of its side lengths. Therefore, we can find the perimeter using 2l + 2w = P.

We can substitute 60 for P and w/2 + 9 for l.

2(w/2 + 9) + 2w = 60
2w/2 + 18 + 2w = 60
w + 18 + 2w = 60
3w + 18 = 60
3w = 42
w = 14

Substitute w = 14 into the equation for length l.

l = w/2 + 9
l = 14/2 + 9
l = 16

The length of the rectangle is 16 cm.

Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

5x=15+5

15+5=20

5x=20

divide 5 on both sides

Allen traveled for 7 hours at a constant rate of 40 miles per hour. Anna traveled the same distance at a constant rate of 50 mil

TEA [102]

Here is the correct order of the step:

Identify: Anna's time is the unknown

Strategize : let x = Anna's time

Set up : 7(40) = x(50)

Solve: x = 5.6

Check: 7(40) = 5.6(50)

<h3>What is Anna's time?</h3>

The first step is to determine the distance Allen travelled:

Distance = average speed x time

40 x 7 = 280 miles

The second step is to determine the time it took Anna to travel 280 miles.

Time = distance / average speed

280 / 50 = 5.6 hours
