Answer:

20 males, 7 females

Step-by-step explanation:

x=males

x-13=females

x+x-13=27

2x-13=27

2x=40

x=20

20-13=7

State whether each sequence is arithmetic and justify your answer. If the sequence is arithmetic, write a recursive and an expli

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Part A

$f(n)=52-12(n-1)$

$f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}52\: \:if \: \:n=1 & \\f(n+1)+12& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right.$

Part B

$(2,4,8,16,32)\: \:$ Geometric Sequence

Part C

1/4,3/4,5/4,7/4,9/4

$g(n)=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}(n-1)\\f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1/4if \: \:n=1 & \\ f(n+1)+2/4& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right$

Part D:

$h(n)=1.1+0.4(n-1)\\h(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1.1 & if\:n=1 \\ h(n+1)+0.4 & if\:n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, an Arithmetic Sequence holds the same difference between each following number.

Part A

$(52,40, 28, 16)\\52-40=12\\40-28=12\\28-16=12\\d=12$

<u>Explicit Formula</u>

To write an explicit formula is to write it as function.

$f(n)=52-12(n-1)$

<u>Recursive Formula</u>

To write it as recursive formula, is to write it as recurrence given to some restrictions:

$f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}52\: \:if \: \:n=1 & \\f(n+1)+12& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right.$

Part B

$(2,4,8,16,32)\: \:$

Geometric Sequence, since 2*2=4 8*2=16 and 16*2=32 and 8+2=10 8+16=24

Part C

$(\frac{1}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{5}{4},\frac{7}{4},\frac{9}{4})\\\$

Arithmetic Sequence, difference

$d=\frac{2}{4}$

<u>Explicit Formula:</u>

$g(n)=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}(n-1)$

<u>Recursive Formula</u>

$g(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\frac{1}{4} &if\:n=1 \\ g(n+1)+\frac{2}{4} &if\: n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right.$

Part D

(1.1,1.5,1.9,2.3,2.7) Arithmetic Sequence, difference d=0.4

<u>Explicit formula</u>

$h(n)=1.1+0.4(n-1)\\$

<u>Recursive Formula</u>

$h(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1.1 &if\:n=1 \\ h(n+1)+0.4 &if\: n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right.$

(X+3) (X-2) Standard form.<br><br> Please show steps.

Zolol [24]

Use distributive property:

$(x+3)(x-2)=(x)(x)+(x)(-2)+(3)(x)+(3)(-2)\\\\=x^2-2x+3x-6=x^2+x-6$

Dharma and Jorge are looking at cell phone plans. A

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Dharma and Jorge should purchase a group plan.

They could save $9.55

Step-by-step explanation:

A group plan will cost an average of $135.95 per month.

An individual plan will cost an average of $72.75 per month.

Two individual plans will cost an average of

$\$72.75\cdot 2=\$145.50$

per month.

Since $145.50 > $135.95, Dharma and Jorge should purchase a group plan.

They could save

$\$145.50-\$135.95=\$9.55$
