A sequence is defined by f(0) = -20, f(n) = f(n-1) - 5 forn &gt; 1.
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

1. Proved down

2. proved down

3. f(10) = -20 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us explain how to solve the question

∵ f(0) = -20, f(n) = f(n - 1) - 5 for n > 1

→ That means we have an arithmetic sequence with constant

   difference -5 and first term -20

1. → f(1) means we need to find the second term, which equal the

      term - 5

∵ f(1) means n = 1

∴ f(1) = f(1 - 1) - 5

∴ f(1) = f(0) - 5

∵ f(0) = -20

∴ f(1) = -20 - 5 → Proved

2. → f(3) means we need to find the third term, which equal the

   second term - 5

∵ f(3) means n = 3

∴ f(3) = f(3 - 1) - 5

∴ f(3) = f(2) - 5

→ f(2) = f(1) - 5

∵ f(1) = -20 - 5

∴ f(2) = [-20 - 5] - 5 = -20 - 5 - 5

∴ f(3) = [-20 - 5 - 5] - 5

∴ f(3) = -20 - 5 - 5 - 5 → Proved

3. → From 1 and 2 we notice that the number of -5 is equal to n,

      at n = 1 there is one (-5), when n= 3 there are three (-5)

∵ n = 10

∴ There are ten (-5)

∴ f(10) = -20 - 5(10)

∴ f(10) = -20 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 → Proved

Calculate the speed of a wave with the frequency of 100 hz and wavelength of 250 m, please.
masya89 [10]

Answer:

25000m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The following formula is used to calculate the speed or velocity of a wave.

V = f * w

Where V is the velocity (m/s)

f is the frequency (hz)

w is the wavelength (m)

First, determine the frequency.

Calculate the frequency of the wave.

Next, determine the wavelength.

Calculate the wavelength of the wave.

Finally, calculate the wave speed.

Using the formula above, calculate the wave speed.

Three cards are dealt from a shuffled standard deck of playing cards. Find the probability that the first card dealt is red, the
harina [27]

There are 52 cards in a deck, half the cards aware red and half the cards are red.

First card being red is 26/52 = 1/2

After the first card is dealt there are 51 cards left and 26 are black so dealing a black card = 26/51

After 2 cards are dealt there are 50 cards left and 25 red ones left. The probability would be 25/50 = 1/2

The probability of all 3 happening = 1/2 x 26/51 x 1/2 = 13/102

Answer: 13/102
