Answer:

a_{n+1}=a_n+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Have in mind the definition of the term a_n=4\,n-1, and now work on what the term a_{n+1} is based on the previous definition:

a_{n+1} = 4\,(n+1)-1\\a_{n+1}=4\,n+4-1

In the next step do NOT combine the numerical values, but try to identify the a_n term (4\,n-1) in the expression (notice the use of square brackets to group the relevant terms):

a_{n+1}=4\,n+4-1\\a_{n+1}=[4\,n-1]+4\\a_{n+1}=a_n+4

So now we have the term "a_{n+1}" defined in a recursive manner based on the previous term "a_n"

A man buys a certain number of Litchies at 20 per rupee and equal number at 30 per rupee. He
ANTONII [103]

Full question :

A man buys a certain number of oranges at 20 for Rs. 60 and an equal number at 30 for Rs. 60. He mixes them and sells them at 25 for Rs. 60. What is the gain or loss percent?

Answer:

4% loss(percentage loss on cost price)

Step-by-step explanation:

we will be employing algebra in solving this problem :

20 oranges at 60 Rs=60Rs/20 per orange=3Rs per orange

Say x oranges bought at 3Rs per orange=3Rsx

Equal number of oranges at 30 oranges for 60 Rs=60Rs/30 per orange=2Rs per orange

Say x oranges bought at 3Rs per orange=2Rsx

Total Cost Price = 3Rsx + 2Rsx = 5Rsx

He then sells all oranges at 25 for 60 Rs

Therefore price per orange=60/25=12/5Rs

since he sold x+x oranges(from the above calculations)

Total selling price=total oranges *12/5Rs=2x oranges*12/5Rs=24x/5Rs

Profit or loss=24x/5-5x=-x/5

therefore we have a loss =-x/5

Percentage of loss(on cost price)

=x/5÷5x∗100=

=1/25∗100=4%

At Information and Communications University: 31 female seniors were on the dean’s list 62 women were on the dean’s list who wer
inessss [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a lot of information here, so first things first, let's get organized.

Let's start by assigning variable names to each group.  We want the variables to be short but easy to understand.

For example, let's say the number of female seniors on the dean's list is FSD (F for female, S for senior, and D for dean's list).

FSD = 31

Sticking to this naming scheme:

FD = 62

MSD = 45

FS = 87

MS = 96

F = 275

MD = 88

M = 227

Now we can begin.

a) We want to know how many seniors there are.  So all we have to do is add up all the variables with an S in them.

FSD + MSD + FS + MS

31 + 45 + 87 + 96

259

b) We want to know how many women there are.  So add up all the variables with an F in them.

FSD + FD + FS + F

31 + 62 + 87 + 275

455

c) We want to know how many are on the dean's list.  So add up all the variables with a D in them.

FSD + FD + MSD + MD

31 + 62 + 45 + 88

226

d) Now we want to know how many are seniors AND on the dean's list.  So add up all the variables that have both an S and a D.

FSD + MSD

31 + 45

76

e) We want to know how many female seniors there are, so add up all the variables with both an F and an S.

FSD + FS

31 + 87

118

f) We want to know how many women were on the dean's list, so add up all the variables with both an F and a D.

FSD + FD

31 + 62

93

g) Finally, we want to know how many students there are total.  So add up all the variables.

FSD + FD + MSD + FS + MS + F + MD + M

62 + 45 + 87 + 96 + 275 + 88 + 227

Add one set of parenthesis to make the following equation true<br> 25 - 8 - 2 = 19
amid [387]
An easy way to do this is to do trial and error.

All possible places to put the bracket:

a) (25 - 8) - 2 = 19 But since BEDMAS goes from left to right with Addition and Subtraction, the equation is unaffected.
b) 25 - (8 - 2) = 19
25 - 6 = 19

Therefore b) is correct.
