4th term = 29

to generate the terms, substitute n = 2, 3, 4 into the rule

noting that b(1) = - 7

b(2) = b(2 - 1) + 12 = b(1) + 12 = -7 + 12 = 5

b(3) = b(3 - 1) + 12 = b(2) + 12 = 5 + 12 = 17

b(4) = b(4 - 1) + 12 = b(3) + 12 = 17 + 12 = 29

Answer: The 4th term in the sequence is 29 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given recursive formula for the sequence :

$b(1)=-7\\\\ b(n)=b(n-1)+12$

To find : 4th term

At n=2 , we have

$b(2)=b(1)+12=-7+12=5$ (Second term)

At n=3 , we have

$b(3)=b(2)+12=5+12=17$ (Third term)

At n=4 , we have

$b(4)=b(3)+12=17+12=29$ (Fourth term)

Therefore , the 4th term in the sequence is 29 .

Jim wishes to buy 3 gifts that cost 15 dollars, 9 dollars, and 12 dollars. he has 1/4 of the money he needs, how much more money

Archy [21]

In order to solve this, you have to plug in all of the costs of the gifts and add them, which in all equals $36. since jim only has 1/4 of the money he needs to buy the gifts, you need to divide 36 by 4. this gives you 9, so now you know he has 9 dollars.
and to find out how much more money he needs, you can subtract 9 from 36 which represents a fourth of the required money. the answer is 27, that's how much jim needs in order to buy his gifts.

3/9 + 3/27 = ? Adding fractions

RideAnS [48]

$\frac{3}{9}$ + $\frac{3}{27}$ equals $\frac{4}{9}$ .

First, simplify $\frac{3}{9}$ to $\frac{1}{3}$ and also $\frac{3}{27}$ to $\frac{1}{9}$ . Your problem should look like: $\frac{1}{3}$ + $\frac{1}{9}$ .
Second, find the least common denominator of $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{9}$ to get 9.
Third, make the denominators the same as the least common denominator (LCD). Your problem should look like: $\frac{1x3}{3x3}$ + $\frac{1}{9}$ .
Fourth, simplify to get the denominators the same. Your problem should look like: $\frac{3}{9}$ + $\frac{1}{9}$ .
Fifth, join the denominators. Your problem should look like: $\frac{3+1}{9}$ .
Sixth, simplify. Your problem should look like: $\frac{4}{9}$ , which is the answer.
