An arithmetic sequence is a sequence with a constant

<span> increase or decrease also known as the </span>constant difference

In the sequence 10, 40, 70, 100, ….

The constant difference between the terms is 30

A recursive formula for a sequence would be:

a1= first term in the sequence

an = term you are trying to find

an-1 = previous term in the sequence

d = constant difference

Explicit Formulas: 

A formula that allows you to find the nth term of the sequence by substituting known values in the expression.

Formula : an = a1 + d( n - 1)

a1= first term in the sequence

an = current term in the sequence

d = constant difference

n = term number

Solution: 

<span>Write the explicit formula of the sequence 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 ….</span>

Formula for explicit term:

an = ___ + ___( n - 1)

Simplify: an = ___ + ___n

In the sequence 4, 7, 10, 13, ….

To find the 11th<span> term explicitly, I plug in the into the formula I just made:  </span>

an = 1 + 3n

a11<span> = 1 + 3(11)  </span> 

a11<span> = 34  </span>

Find the 15th term of the sequence using the formula: an = 1 + 3n

Write the recursive formula of the sequence 4, 7, 10, 13, ….

Recursive formula:

a1 =

an = a  n  - 1

In the sequence 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 ….

To find the 5th<span> term recursively, I plug it into the formula I just made:  </span>

<span>  a</span>n = an-1 + 3

a5 = a5-1<span> + 3   in words: 5</span>th<span>  term equals the 4</span>th term plus 3

a5<span> = 13 + 3  </span>

a5<span> = 16   </span>

If you ran exactly one mile, how many feet did you run
elena-s [515]

Solution:

we have been asked to find

If you ran exactly one mile, how many feet did you run.

It mean , we will have to convert miles in feet.

As we know that

1 mile is equivalent to 5280 feet.

Hence , we can use this conversion to get the exact value of miles in feet.

If you ran exactly one mile,it mean you ran exactly for 5280 feet.

Zaid has a peculiar pair of four-sided dice. When he rolls the dice, the probability of any particular outcome is proportional t
Elden [556K]

Answer:   a) \bold{\dfrac{3}{16}}     b) \bold{\dfrac{1}{36}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

a) In order to get an even number, you have the 3 different scenarios:

1) Even, Even, Even, Even     \dfrac{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}{6^4} \quad = \dfrac{3^4}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{16}

2) Even, Even, Odd, Odd   \dfrac{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}{6^4} \quad = \dfrac{3^4}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{16}

3) Odd, Odd, Odd, Odd   \dfrac{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}{6^4} \quad = \dfrac{3^4}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{16}

<em>Order doesn't matter</em>

Add them up to get your answer: \dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{1}{16}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{3}{16}}

b) If one die is a 2 and another is a 3 and the other two dice can be any number, then you have 1 possibility for a 2, 1 possibility for a 3, and 6 possibilities for each of the other two dice.

\dfrac{1\times 1\times 6\times 6}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{6^2}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{36}}
