What is the third term of the sequence defined by the recursive rule? f(1) = 2 f(n)= 2f(n-1)+1

The way you worded the question kind of confuses me but i'll try to answer.

Think of recursion like climbing a ladder; in this type of sequence you start out somewhere, usually n. So in f(n-1)+1, you take n (where you started) and "step down" once, and then step up once (which brings you back where you were). Remember PEMDAS when doing these.

The scatter plot shows the number of DVDs Aaron sold in different months:

netineya [11]

We'll say that months = n.

Make a set of the DVD's sold:

${20, 50, 80, 110, 140...}$

In month 1, Aaron sold 20 DVDs. There is no data for month 0.

There is a constant increase of 30 DVDs every month. We can make an equation out of this to fit this data set:

$a = 30n - 10$

a represents the DVDs made.

We need to subtract 10 in this equation, as the starting point is 20, and the increase of 30 is different from the increase from n = 0 to n = 1.

We are looking for the amount of DVDs Aaron sold on the 13th month. Plug 13 into the equation:

$n = 13$
$30(13) - 10 = 390 - 10 = 380$

The predicted number of DVDs Aaron will sell on the 13th month is 380.

Curtis threw 15 darts at a dartboard. 40% of his darts hit the bull's-eye. How many darts did not hit the bull's-eye?

ValentinkaMS [17]

<span>Curtis threw 15 darts at a dartboard. 40% of his darts hit the bull's-eye.
Let’s find out how many darts did not hit the bull's-eye.
=> 15 darts = 100%
=> 40% of 15 hits bull’s eye.
Now let’s solve:
=> 40% / 100% = .40
we need to get the 40% value of 15 to know how many darts was able to hit bull’s eye.
=> 15 * .40 = 6 darts
Thus, out of 15, 6 of the darts hit bull’s eye,.</span>
