Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A=2B

AreaA= Area of a rectangle=Base* height = base (12-x)*height(4) = 48-4x

AreaB = Area of rectangle=base(x) *Height(x) =x^2

Since A=2B

48-4x =2x^2

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

24-2x=x^2

Put everything all on one side

X^2-2x-24=0

(x+4)(x-6)=0

X=-4 and x=6

Only x makes sense since it’s not negative or else your base or one of your sides would be negative

So x=6

marishachu [46]

Let us say that:

x = mass from Earl Grey Tea

y = mass from Orange Pekoe Tea

So that:

x + y = 600

and that:

6 x + 4 y = 4.5 * 600

6 (600 – y) + 4 y = 2700

3600 – 6y + 4y = 2700

-2y = -900

y = 450 pounds

x = 600 – 450 = 150 pounds

Answer:

<span> Earl Grey Tea = 150 pounds</span>

<span>Orange Pekoe Tea = 450 pounds</span>

Given the formula for an arithmetic sequence f(7) = f(6) + 4 written using a recursive formula, write the sequence using an arit

natita [175]

Answer:

Of(7) = f(1) + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this Arithmetic Sequence can be written recursively as a function, then we can write the whole sequence, by adding the common difference to the previous function. So writing it as an Arithmetic formula is (placing an example, with a common difference of 4 units):

$\left.\begin{matrix}n &1&2&3&4&5&6 &7\\f(n)&2&6&10 & 14&18&22&26 \end{matrix}\right|\\f(n)=f(n-1)+d\:\: (Recursive \: Formula)\Rightarrow a_{n}=a_{n-1}+4\: \: \: (Arithmetic\: Formula)\\Of(7)=f(1)+6*4\Rightarrow a_{7}=a_{1}+(7-1)4\Rightarrow a_{7}=a_{1}+24\\$
