If f(1)=3 and f(n)=-2f(n-1)+1,then f(5)=

1 answer:

5 0

F(5) = - 2f(4) + 1
f(4) = -2f(3) + 1
f(3) = -2f(2) + 1
f(2) = -2f(1) + 1
Therefore:
f(2) = -2(3) + 1 = -5
f(3) = -2(-5) + 1 = 11
f(4) = -2(11) + 1 = -21
Therefore f(5) = -2(-21) + 1 = 43

A student is saving money to buy a video game. The student currently has $20 and plans to save $10 every month. Write a function

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

y = amount saved in dollars

x = months

Since the student already has $20 dollars saved (20) and plans to save $10 per month (10x), the equation so far is y = 20 + 10x.

You can use this to solve questions based of the equation/situation by filling in any numbers you are given where the variables are.

Hope this helps! :)

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question

STEP 1: Write the general equation of an ellipse

$\frac{\mleft(x-h\mright)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-h)^2}{b^2^{}}=1$

STEP 2: Identify the parameters

the length of the major axis is 2a

the length of the minor axis is 2b

$\begin{gathered} 2a=24,a=\frac{24}{2}=12 \\ 2b=20,b=\frac{20}{2}=10 \end{gathered}$

STEP 3: Get the equation of the ellipse

$\begin{gathered} By\text{ substitution,} \\ \frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-h)^2}{b^2}=1 \\ \frac{(x-0)^2}{12^2}+\frac{(y-0)^2}{10^2}=1=\frac{x^2}{144}+\frac{y^2}{100}=1 \end{gathered}$

STEP 4: Pick the nearest equation from the options,

Hence, the equation of the ellipse in the image is given as:

$\frac{x^2}{144}+\frac{y^2}{95}=1$

Answer: ( 0, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to put coordinates of each graph on these equations y = -x + 2 and y = (1/2)x + 2. If putting coordinates satisfies both equations, then that coordinate will be the solution.

For example, let's put (0, 2) to equations.

y = -x + 2

2 = -0 + 2

2 = 2, true

y = (1/2)x + 2

2 = (1/2) × 0 + 2

2 = 2, true

So, ( 0, 2 ) is the solution.
