Answer:

f(n) = 5 + f(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(n) = 5n - 2

Required

Write a recursive expression

f(n) = 5n - 2

When n = 1

f(1) = 5 * 1 - 2 = 5 - 2 = 3

f(1) = 3

When n = 2

f(2) = 5 * 2 - 2 = 10 - 2 = 8

f(2) = 8 can be rewritten as

f(2) = 5 + 3

Substitute 3 for f(1)

f(2) = 5 + f(1)

Express 1 as 2 - 1

f(2) = 5 + f(2-1) ----- (1)

When n = 3

f(3) = 5 * 3 - 2 = 15 - 2 = 13

f(3) = 13 can be rewritten as

f(3) = 5 + 8

Substitute 8 for f(2)

f(3) = 5 + f(2)

Express 2 as 3 - 1

f(3) = 5 + f(3 - 1)  ------ (2)

Write out (1) and (2)

f(2) = 5 + f(2-1)

f(3) = 5 + f(3 - 1)

Replace 2 and 3 with n in both cases; This gives

f(n) = 5 + f(n - 1)

Hence;

The recursive is f(n) = 5 + f(n - 1)

What are the center and radius of a circle defined by the equation x^2+y^2- 6x+ 8y+ 21=0?
Natali5045456 [20]
You have to complete the square. When you do this you get an equation that looks like this: (x-3)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 4. So your center is (3, -4) and your radius is 2. That looks like B to me!!!
