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

Give me one example of an item where you would need to find the area of a square. Also, Give me one example of an item where you
monitta

An example of an item where you would need to find the area of a square is a square table.

An example of an item where you would need to find the area of a rectangle is a phone that has a rectangular shape.

<h3>How to calculate the area?</h3>

It's important to note that the area of a square is the multiplication of its sides by itself. For example, if the side is 4cm, the area will be:

= 4²

= 4 × 4.

= 16cm²

The area of a rectangle will be:

= Length × Width

Assuming length and width are 5cm and 2cm. This will be:

= 5 × 2

= 10cm²

Given a sphere with a diameter of 6 cm, find its volume to the nearest whole<br> number.
mezya [45]

Answer:

Volume of the sphere is 1.13\times 10^{-4}m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given diameter of the sphere d = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Radius of the sphere

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.06}{2}=0.03m

We know that volume of the sphere is given by

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Therefore ,

V=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times  0.03^3

=1.13\times 10^{-4}m^3

Therefore volume of the sphere is 1.13\times 10^{-4}m^3
