Find the explicit formula for the sequence? -1,4,-16,64......

Mathematics

Ede4ka [16]3 years ago

The explicit formula for given sequence is: a_n = -1 . (-4)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

-1,4,-16,64.....

We can see that there is no same difference between consecutive terms so we will find common ratio to see if it is a geometric sequence.

Here

a_1 = -1\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = -16\\a_4 = 64\\r = \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{4}{-1} = -4\\r = \frac{a_3}{a_2} = \frac{-16}{4} = -4

The explicit formula for geometric sequence is:

a_n = a_1r^{n-1}

Putting the values of r and a1

a_n = -1 . (-4)^{n-1}

Hence

The explicit formula for given sequence is: a_n = -1 . (-4)^{n-1}

Keywords: Geometric sequence, common ratio

Nikitich [7]

John held a garage sale. He priced all the items at a dime or a quarter, his sales totaled less than $5, the solution is shaded region in quadrant I.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

In mathematics, line's slope, also known as its gradient, is a numerical representation of the line's steepness and direction. The letter m is frequently used to represent the slope; reason for this usage is unclear, but it can be found in O'Brien's (1844) and Todhunter's (1888) formulations of equation for a straight line as "y = mx + b" and "y = mx + c," respectively.

He priced all items at a dime or a quarter. His sales totaled less than $5

Since dime =$ 0.10=$0.10 and the quarter =$0.25=$0.25

Let x=x= the number of the items sold for a dime

Let y=y= the number of the items sold for a quarter

0.10x+0.25y<5

0.10x+0.25y<5

Inequality in the slope-intercept form

0.10x+0.25y Subtract 0.10x from both sides

0.25y<-0.10x+5 Divide both sides by 0.25

Subtract 0.10x from both sides

y= -\frac{2}{5}x+20\\

The slope is, -\frac{2}{5} and the y- intercept is 20

Since inequality sign is << so, draw a dashed line

Test point (0,0)(0,0)

Substituting the values 0 for x and 0 for y,

y < -\frac{2}{5}x+20\\\\0 < -\frac{2}{5}(0)+20\\\\0 < +20

Since inequality is true

So, (0,0)(0,0) is solution of the inequality

Shade region containing (0,0)(0,0).

The graph below shows all possible solutions

Since boundary line is dashed and the number of items is always positive

The solution is shaded region in quadrant I

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The number of combinations will she have to analyze is  10.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Boeing currently produces five models of airplanes for commercial sale.  The airline that Lauren works for is rapidly expanding and would like to purchase three airplanes of different models to service various routes.  We calculate the number of combinations will she have to analyze.

C^5_3=\frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!}=\frac{5\cdot 4\cdot 3!}{3!\cdot 2\cdot 1}=10

The number of combinations will she have to analyze is  10.

Note: Enter your answer and show all the steps that you use to solve this problem in the space provided. f ( x ) = 9 x 3 + 2 x 2
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

2x(2x²+x+1)

Dtep-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 9x³+2x²-5x+4

g(x) = 5x³-7x+4

f(x) - g(x)

= 9x³+2x²-5x+4 - (5x³-7x+4)

= 9x³+2x²-5x+4-5x³+7x-5

= 4x³+2x²+2x

= 2x(2x²+x+1)

lutik1710 [3]
X represent the number of laps Marcy swam, 114x represent the number of times Toni swam.

20 + 0.80(114x) + 15 + 0.85x = 257
20 + 91.2x + 15 + 0.85x = 257
92.05x + 35 = 257

Required equation is 92.05x + 35 = 257
