Answer:
<u>Recursive:</u>

<u>Explicit:</u>

Explanation:
<u>1. Sequence:</u>

<u>2. Recursive formula</u>
The recursive formula permits to calculate the value of the nth term in the sequence using the (n-1)th term in the sequence.

<u>3. Explicit formula</u>
The explicit formula permits to calculate any value of a term in the sequence:

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The average can be found by dividing the number of pieces (or trucks in this case) by the total, so 3204/8=400.5 pounds, or D as our answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Consider the parent function:</u>
The graph of the function open up and the vertex is at the origin, the point (0, 0)
Now, if it opens down, it means it is a reflection of the parent function over x axis, hence it has a negative coefficient, the function becomes:
The vertex is shifted to the point (-3, 0). It means the function also translated left by 3 units, the function becomes:
<u>Since all the options have 1/20 as a coefficient, our function is:</u>
This is option B
Answer:
23. x = 4; DE = 44
24. x = 25; DS = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
23. Point S is the midpoint of DE, so ...
DS = SE
3x +10 = 6x -2
12 = 3x . . . . . . . . . add 2-3x
4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Then DS has length ...
DS = 3x +10 = 12 +10 = 22
and DE is twice that length, so ...
DE = 44
__
24. DS is half the length of DE, so is ...
DS = DE/2 = 56/2
DS = 28
Then x can be found from ...
DS = x +3
28 -3 = x = 25 . . . . . substitute value for DS

<em>Comment on problem 24</em>
Sometimes it is easier to work parts of a problem out of sequence. Here, finding DS first makes finding x easier.
