Answer:

Tn = 2Tn-1 - Tn-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we can generate the recursive sequence, we need to find the nth term of the given sequence.

nth term of an AP is given as:

Tn = a+(n-1)d

If a17 = -40

T17 = a+(17-1)d = -40

a+16d = -40 ...(1)

If a28 = -73

T28 = a+(28-1)d = -73

a+27d = -73 ...(2)

Solving both equations simultaneously using elimination method.

Subtracting 1 from 2 we have:

27d - 16d = -73-(-40)

11d = -73+40

11d = -33

d = -3

Substituting d = -3 into 1

a+16(-3) = -40

a - 48 = -40

a = -40+48

a = 8

Given a = 8, d = -3, the nth term of the sequence will be

Tn = 8+(n-1) (-3)

Tn = 8+(-3n+3)

Tn = 8-3n+3

Tn = 11-3n

Given Tn = 11-3n and d = -3

Tn-1 = Tn - d... (3)

Tn-1 = 11-3n +3

Tn-1 = 14-3n

Tn-2 = Tn-2d...(4)

Tn-2 = 11-3n-2(-3)

Tn-2 = 11-3n+6

Tn-2 = 17-3n

From 3, d = Tn - Tn-1

From 4, d = (Tn - Tn-2)/2

Equating both common difference

(Tn - Tn-2)/2 = Tn - Tn-1

Tn - Tn-2 = 2(Tn - Tn-1)

Tn - Tn-2 = 2Tn-2Tn-1

2Tn-Tn = 2Tn-1 - Tn-2

Tn = 2Tn-1 - Tn-2

The recursive formula will be

Tn = 2Tn-1 - Tn-2

Answer:

The difference between the given terms is

–73 – (–40) = –33.

The difference between the term numbers is 28 – 17 = 11.

Dividing –33 / 11 = –3.

The common difference is –3.

The recursive formula is the previous term minus 3, or an = an – 1 - 3 where a17 = -40.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Good morning☕️

______

Answer:

w is the width

L is the length

p is the perimeter

w=9

L=27

___________________

Step-by-step explanation:

p=2[(L-4) + (w+1)]

⇔p=2[(3w-4) + (w+1)]

⇔p=2[4w-3]

⇔p=8w-6

⇔66=8w-6

⇔8w=72

⇔w=9

Then L=3w=27

How many litters of apple syrup and water did she use in the ratio of 2:3 and made 1800 ml of such fruit juice
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

720 mL ; 1080 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Givenn:

Apple syrup : water = 2 : 3

Fruit juice volume made using the ratio above = 1800 ml

Sum of ratio = 2 + 3 = 5

Litres of Apple syrup :

(Syrup ratio / total) * total volume of fruit

(2 / 5) * 1800

= 0.4 * 1800

= 720 ml

Litres of water :

(water ratio / total) * total volume of fruit

(3 / 5) * 1800

= 0.6 * 1800

= 1080 ml

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

28, 30, 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive even numbers are three even numbers that are next to each other. For example, 2, 4 and 6 would be 3 consecutive even numbers.

With this sort of problem, you want to try to let each number be equal to one thing and then construct the same number of equations as you have variables:

Let's let,

Integer 1 = X

Integer 2 = Y

Integer 3 = Z

X + Y + Z = 90

We also know, that

Y = X + 2

And that

Z = X + 4

Now, we can sub these equations into the first equation. We do this so that we have everything represented as the same variable.

90 = X + (X+2) + (X+4)

90 = 3X  + 6

84 = 3X

28 = X

So, the numbers are 28, 30 and 32
