Answer:

The recursive formula is given as:

a_n = 3a_{n-1}+2 , n is the number of terms

where,

a_4 = 20

We have to find  first three terms of the sequence.

For n =4 ;

a_4 = 3a_{4-1}+2

⇒a_4 = 3a_3+2

⇒20 = 3a_3+2

Subtract 2 from both sides we have;

18= 3a_3

Divide both sides by 3 we have;

6 = a_3

or

a_3 =6

For n = 3;

a_ 3= 3a_{2}+2

⇒6 = 3a_2+2

Subtract 2 from both sides we have;

4= 3a_2

Divide both sides by 3 we have;

a_2 = \frac{4}{3}

For n =2

a_2= 3a_{1}+2

⇒\frac{4}{3} =3a_1+2

Subtract 2 from both sides we have;

-\frac{2}{3}= 3a_3

Divide both sides by 3 we have;

a_1 =-\frac{2}{9}

Therefore, the first three terms of the sequence  are:

a_1 =-\frac{2}{9}

a_2 = \frac{4}{3}

a_3 =6

A golfer keeps track of his score for playing nine holes of golf​ (half a normal golf​ round). His mean score is 8080 with a sta
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Therefore the mean and standard deviation of his total score if he plays a full 18 holes are 160 and 11\sqrt2 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

For the first 9 holes X:

E(X) = 80

SD(X)=13

For the second 9 holes Y:

E(Y) = 80

SD(Y)=13

For the sum W=X+Y, the following properties holds for means , variance and standard deviation :

E(W)=E(X)+E(Y)

     and

V(W)=V(X)+V(Y)

⇒SD²(W)=SD²(X)+SD²(Y)        [ Variance = (standard deviation)²]

\Rightarrow SD(W)=\sqrt{SD^2(X)+SD^2(Y)}

∴E(W)=E(X)+E(Y) = 80 +80=160

            and

∴SD(W)=\sqrt{SD^2(X)+SD^2(Y)}

              =\sqrt{11^2+11^2}

               =\sqrt{2.11^2}

               =11\sqrt2

Therefore the mean and standard deviation of his total score if he plays a full 18 holes are 160 and 11\sqrt2 respectively.

John had $50 to spend at the mall. He purchased a shirt for $17.50, a pair of pants for $24.99, and a belt for $6.99. John used
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

John has 2 dollars and 46 cents left after his purchases.

Step-by-step explanation:

50 - 17.50 = 32.50

32.50 - 24.99 = 7.51

7.51 - 6.99 = 0.52

0.52 + 5.00 = 5.52

5.52 - 3.06 = 2.46

There 400 students in sixth grade of these students 180 are boys what percent of sixth graders are girls.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

To solve this, you need to subtract 180 from 400:  (400-180=220).  After that (I used the fraction/proportion/variable way, but there are others), so 220/400=%(p)/100.  Multiply diaganolly, so 400*p=400p, which is equal to 220*100=22000.  Therefore, 400p=22000.  Now, you have to isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 400: 400p/400=p, and 22000/400=55.  Therefore, p=55, or %=55, so the answer is 55%, or C.
