By the recursive definition,

a_3=2a_2-a_1=2\cdot9-4=14

a_4=2a_3-a_2=2\cdot14-9=19

a_5=2a_4-a_3=2\cdot19-14=24

a_6=2a_5-a_4=2\cdot24-19=29

Answer:

  a3=14, a4=19, a5=24

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the numbers where the symbols are and do the arithmetic.

  a3 = 2(a2) -(a1) = 2(9) -4 = 14

  a4 = 2(a3) -(a2) = 2(14) -9 = 19

  a5 = 2(a4) -(a3) = 2(19) -14 = 24

  a6 = 2(a5) -(a4) = 2(24) -19 = 29

_____

With a little work, you can show that this is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of a2-a1 = 5.

Let d = a[2] -a[1]

Of course, the second term is that difference added to the first:

  a[2] = a[1] + (a[2] -a[1]) = a[1] +d

The third term is ...

  a[3] = 2a[2] -a[1] = a[2] +(a[2] -a[1]) = a[2] +d

  a[4] = 2a[3] -a[2] = a[3] +(a[3] -a[2]) = a[3] -(a[2] +d) -a[2] = a[3] +d

dybincka [34]

Answer:

50kg

Step-by-step explanation:

K = Keith  B = Beth  H = Henry

K = 20 + B

H = 2B - 30

K = H

20 + B = 2B - 30

B = 50kg

maxonik [38]

Answer: 11 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of months that it will take him to reach his goal be represented by x.

Based on the information given in the question, this can be formed into an equation as:

8 + 4x = 52

4x = 52 - 8

4x = 44

x = 44/4

x = 11

It will take 11 months to reach the goal

Find the equation of the circle with a diameter whose end points are (-1,-2) and (-3,2)
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The equation of the circle with a diameter whose end points are (-1,-2) and (-3,2) is

x^{2} +y^{2}+4x-1=0

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Explanation:</u>-

<u>Step 1:</u>-

The equation of the circle having center and radius is

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

here center is (h,k) and radius is r

Given diameter whose end points are (-1,-2) and (-3,2)

The diameter of the circle is passing through the center of the circle

so center of the circle = midpoint of two end points

      (\frac{-1 +(-3) }{2} ,\frac{-2+2 }{2}  )

    (-2,0)

therefore center (h,k) = (-2,0)

<u>Step 2:-</u>

we have to find the radius of the circle

the radius of the circle = the distance from center to the one end point

i.e., C P = r

Given one end point is P(-3,2) and center C(-2,0)

The distance formula of two points are

\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} ) ^{2}+ (y_{2}-y_{1} ) ^{2}}

r=\sqrt{{(-3)-(-1) ) ^{2}+ (2-(-2)) ^{2}}

r=\sqrt{5}

<u>Step 3</u>:-

center (h,k) = (-2,0) and

radius r=\sqrt{5}

The standard form of circle equation

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

(x-(-2))^2+(y-0)^2=\sqrt{5} ^2

on simplification is

x^{2} +y^{2}+4 x-1=0
