A mountain climber starts a climb at an elevation of 453 feet above sea level. At his first rest stop he has climbed 162 feet, a

nd by his second rest stop he has climbed another 207 feet. It's getting late in the day, so the climber starts his way down. If the climber descends 285 feet, how much does he need to ascend or descend to return to the original starting point? A) ascend 84 feet B) ascend 78 feet C) descend 84 feet D) descend 78 feet

They started at 453, then climbed 162, so now they are at:

453 + 162 = 615 feet.

They then cllmb another 207 feet to get to:

615 + 207 = 822 feet.

They then descend ( climb down) 285 feet.

822 - 285 = 537 feet.

Now they need to get back tot he original 453,

so they have to descend:

537 - 453 = 84 more feet.

The answer is C.

Henry is making a corn grits recipe that calls for 1/4 cup of corn grits for every 1/2 cup of water. How much water will he need

Archy [21]

Method 1:

$\begin{array}{ccc}\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cup of water}\\\\1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&x\ \text{cup of water}\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot x=\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}x=\dfrac{3}{4}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\\boxed{x=3}$

<h3>Answer: Henry will need 3 cups of water.</h3>

Method 2:

$\begin{matrix}\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cup of water}&|\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&1\ \text{cup of water}&|\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\1\ \text{cup of corn}&-&2\ \text{cup of water}&|\end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+1\right)\ \text{cups of corn}&-&(1+2)\ \text{cups of water}\\\\1\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cups of corn}&-&3\ \text{cups of water}\end{matrix}$

<h3>Answer: Henry will need 3 cups of water.</h3>

The recursive function LaTeX: f\left(0\right)=1,\:f\left(n\right)=f\left(n-1\right)+2nf ( 0 ) = 1 , f ( n ) = f ( n − 1 ) + 2 n

m_a_m_a [10]

Question:

The recursive function $f(0) = 1$ , $f(n) = f(n-1) + 2n$ represents the nth term of a sequence. Determine the explicit function

Answer:

$f(n) = n^2 + n+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(0) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) + 2n$

Required

Write an explicit formula

Let n = 1

$f(1) = f(1-1) + 2*1$

$f(1) = f(0) + 2$

$f(1) = 1 + 2 = 3$

Let n = 2

$f(2) = f(2-1) + 2*2$

$f(2) = f(1) + 4$

$f(2) = 3 + 4 = 7$

Let n =3

$f(3)=f(3-1) + 2 * 3$

$f(3)=f(2) + 6$

$f(3)=7+ 6 = 13$

Let n = 4

$f(4) = f(4 - 1) + 2 * 4$

$f(4) = f(3) + 8$

$f(4) = 13+ 8 = 21$

So, we have:

$f(1) = 3= 1 + 2 * 1=1+0*1*2*1$

$f(2) = 7= 3 + 2 * 2=1+1*2+2*2$

$f(3) = 13= 7 + 2 * 3= 1+2*3+2*3$

$f(4) = 21 = 13 + 2 * 4= 1+3*4 +2 *4$

Following the above pattern:

$f(n) = 1 + (n - 1) * n + 2 * n$

$f(n) = 1 + n(n - 1) + 2n$

Open bracket

$f(n) = 1 + n^2 - n + 2n$

$f(n) = 1 + n^2 + n$

$f(n) = n^2 + n+1$
