Two consecutive odd integers have a sum of 32. Find the integers.

1 answer:

6 0

Let
x = first consecutive odd
x + 2 = second consecutive odd

Based on the problem, we equate
x + (x + 2) = 32
Solving for x,
2x + 2 = 32
2x = 32 - 2
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15
and x + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17

Therefore, the integers are 15 and 17.

20,15,11.25,... find the reclusive and explicit equations

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Recursive equation $T_{1} = 20$ and $T_{n + 1} = T_{n} \times (0.75) = 0.75T_{n}$ where, n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ........ .

Explicit equation $T_{n} = 20(0.75)^{n - 1}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given series is an G.P. series and the common ratio is 0.75.

Now, the terms are 20, 15, 11.25, .......

Therefore, the explicit equation of the series will be $T_{n} = 20(0.75)^{n - 1}$

Again, the recursive equation of the given G.P. series will be

$T_{1} = 20$ and $T_{n + 1} = T_{n} \times (0.75) = 0.75T_{n}$ where, n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ........
