Answer:
A) a_n = 5n + 2
B) a_n = (2^(n + 1)) - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
A) The sequence is given as;
{7,12,17,22,27,...}
The differences are:
5,5,5,5.
This is an arithmetic sequence following the formula;
a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d
d is 5
Thus;
a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)5
Now, a_1 = 7. Thus;
a_n = 7 + 5n - 5
a_n = 5n + 2
B) The sequence is given as;
{ 3,7,15,31,63,...}
Now, let's write out the differences of this sequence:
Differences are:
4, 8, 16, 32
This shows that it is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2.
In the given sequence, a_1 = 3 and a_2 = 7 and a_3 = 15
Thus, a_2 = 2a_1 + 1
Also, a_(2 + 1) = 2a_2 + 1
Combining both equations, we can deduce that: a_(n + 1) = 2a_n + 1
Thus; a_n can be expressed as:
a_n = (2^(n + 1)) - 1

0
Step-by-step explanation:
When dealing with an equation that only involves addition and subtraction ...you can solve it juat as it is witout using any special method same applied to equations tht involve only multiplication and division ... because they are an (inverse) of each other... hope it helps
Answer = 55,25 inches
Solution -
let's take x as length and y as width of the metal piece. As per the question x is 30 more than y,
⇒ x = y + 30
Then four square pieces of side 6 are cut from each corner,
so the new length and width are
x-12 , y-12
Then the volume of the new box created will be
(x-12)(y-12)6
in the question the volume of the given figure is given to be 3354
so (x-12)(y-12)6 = 3354
putting the value of x in the the above equation
⇒ (y+30 - 12)(x-12) = 3354/6 = 559
⇒ (y+18)(y-12) = 559
⇒ y² + 6y - 775 = 0
⇒ y² + 31y - 25y -775 = 0
⇒ (y+31)(y-25) = 0
⇒ y = -31, 25
as length can not be -ve , so y = 25
then x = 25+30 = 55
Hence the dimensions of the metal piece are 55, 25 inches
