What is the function rule

Consider the sequence of numbers: 3/8, 3/4, 1 /18, 1 1/2, 1 7/8

vredina [299]

Question:

Consider the sequence of numbers: $\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}$

Which statement is a description of the sequence?

(A) The sequence is recursive, where each term is 1/4 greater than its preceding term.

(B) The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n) + 3/8 .

(C) The sequence is arithmetic, where each pair of terms has a constant difference of 3/4 .

(D) The sequence is arithmetic and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n)3/8.

Answer:

Option B:

The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

$f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8} .$

Explanation:

A sequence of numbers are

$\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}$

Let us first change mixed fraction into improper fraction.

$\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{9}{8}, \frac{3}{2}, \frac{15}{8}$

To find the pattern of the sequence.

To find the common difference between the sequence of numbers.

$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{6}{8}-\frac{3}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{9}{8}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{6}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{3}{2}-\frac{9}{8}=\frac{12}{8}-\frac{9}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{15}{8}-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{15}{8}-\frac{12}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

Therefore, the common difference of the sequence is 3.

That means each term is obtained by adding $\frac{3}{8}$ to the previous term.

Hence, the sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function $f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8} .$

X^2+y^2+14x+10y=7 <br> center and radius

Sholpan [36]

$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\\\\(a;\ b)-the\ coordinates\ of\ the\ center\\r-the\ radius\\\\==================================\\Use:(k+l)^2=k^2+2kl+l^2\ (*)\\==================================$

$x^2+y^2+14x+10y=7\\\\x^2+14x+y^2+10y=7\\\\x^2+2x\cdot7+y^2+2y\cdot5=7\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2x\cdot7+7^2}_{Use\ (*)}-7^2+\underbrace{y^2+2y\cdot5+5^2}_{Use\ (*)}-5^2=7\\\\(x+7)^2-49+(y+5)^2-25=7\\\\(x+7)^2+(y+5)^2-74=7\ \ \ \ |add\ 74\ to\both\ sides\\\\(x+7)^2+(y+5)^2=81\\\\(x+7)^2+(y+5)^2=9^2$

$Answer:\\\boxed{(-7;-5)-center;\ 9-radius}$
