A store had 150 laptops in the month of January. Every month, 20% of the laptops were sold and 10 new laptops were stocked in th

e store. Which recursive function best represents the number of laptops in the store f(n) after n months? f(n) = 150 − 0.8 x f(n − 1) + 10, f(0) = 150, n > 0 f(n) = 0.2 x f(n − 1) + 10, f(0) = 150, n > 0 f(n) = 0.8 x f(n − 1) + 10, f(0) = 150, n > 0 f(n) = 150 + 0.8 x f(n − 1) + 10, f(0) = 150, n > 0

Answer:

f(n) =  0.8 × f(n -1) + 10, n > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Original number of laptops, f(0) = 150, ( where, f(n) represents the number of laptops after n months )

∵ Every month, 20% of the laptops were sold and 10 new laptops were stocked in the store.

After 1 month,

The number of laptops, f(1) = original laptops - 20% of the original laptops + 10

= 150 - 20% of 150 + 10

= (100 - 20)% of 150 + 10

= 80% of 150 + 10

= 0.8 × f(0) + 10

Similarly, After 2 months,

The number of laptops, f(2) = 0.8 × f(1) + 10,

After 3 months, number of laptops, f(3) = 0.8 × f(2) + 10,

........ so, on

Thus, by following the pattern,

The number of laptops after n months,

f(n) =  0.8 × f(n -1) + 10, n > 0

<u>Answer-</u>

\boxed{\boxed{f(n)=0.8(f(n-1))+10,\ f(0)=150,\ \ n>0}}

<u>Solution-</u>

Here, n represents the number of months and f(n) represents the number of laptops in the store after n months.

As the store had 150 laptops in the month of January or at the beginning.

So f(0)=150

Every month, 20% of the laptops were sold and 10 new laptops were stocked in the store.

As 20% of laptops were sold, so 80% were in the store.

So, after one month total number of laptops in the store,

\Rightarrow f(1)=0.8(150)+10

\Rightarrow f(1)=0.8(f(0))+10     (\because f(0)=150)

Again after one month total number of laptops in the store,

\Rightarrow f(2)=0.8\times (0.8(150)+10)+10

\Rightarrow f(2)=0.8(f(1))+10     (\because f(1)=0.8(150)+10)

Analyzing the pattern, the recursive function f(n) will be,

f(n)=0.8(f(n-1))+10,\ f(0)=150,\ \ n>0

Solve the following system of equations by elimination. What is the value of x? x = 1.5 x = -1.5 x = 8 x = -8
Andru [333]

Using the elimination method, the value of x in the system of equations is calculated as: 8.

<h3>How to Solve a System of Equations by Elimination?</h3>

To solve a system of equations given using the elimination method, do the following:

Multiply 2x - 5y = 1 by 2 and multiply -3x + 2y = -18 by 5 to get the following:

4x - 10y = 2 --> eqn. 1

-15x + 10y = -90 --> eqn. 2

Add

-11x = -88

Divide both sides by -11

x = 8

What is the answer to this and how do I do this problem?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

  B) 25.1 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the sides of the triangle. The length of the side BC that is vertical can be found by finding the difference of y-coordinates:

  BC = 5 -(-2) = 7

The lengths of the other two sides can be found using the given distance formula. Fill in the coordinate values and do the arithmetic.

  AB = √((4-(-4))^2 +(5-(-1))^2) = √(8^2 +6^2) = √(64+36)

  AB = √100 = 10

__

  AC = √((4-(-4))^2 +(-2-(-1))^2) = √(8^2 +(-1)^2) = √(64 +1)

  AC = √65 ≈ 8.06

__

So, the perimeter is ...

  P = AB +BC +AC

  P = 10 + 7 + 8.06 = 25.06 ≈ 25.1 . . . . matches choice B
