answer

45 minutes

explanation

using the equation C(m) = 0.1m + 1, C(m) is the cost of the phone call (5.50)

5.50 = 0.1m + 1 subtract 1 from both sides

4.5 = 0.1m divide both sides by 0.1

45 = m

m is the number of minutes, so 45 minutes

An arithmetic sequence is defined by the general term tn = -5 + (n - 1)78, where n ∈N and n ≥ 1. What is the recursive formula o

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In general for arithmetic sequences, recursive formulas are of the form

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d,

and the explicit formula (like tₙ in your problem), are of the form

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d,

where d is the common difference. So converting between the two of these isn't so bad. In this case, your problem wants you to have an idea of what t₁ is (well, every answer says it's -5, so there you are) and what tₙ₊₁ is. Using the formulas above and your given tₙ = -5 + (n - 1)78, we can see that the common difference is 78, so no matter what we get ourselves into, the constant being added on at the end should be 78. That automatically throws out answer choice D.

But to narrow it down between the rest of them, you want to use the general form for the recursive formula and substitute (n + 1) for every instance of n. This will let you find tₙ₊₁ to match the requirements of your answer choices. So

tₙ₊₁ = t₍ₙ₊₁₎₋₁ + d ... Simplify the subscript

tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + d

Therefore, your formula for tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + 78, which is answer choice C.

If the original square had a side length of

irina [24]

Answer:

Part a) The new rectangle labeled in the attached figure N 2

Part b) The diagram of the new rectangle with their areas in the attached figure N 3, and the trinomial is $x^{2} +11x+28$

Part c) The area of the second rectangle is 54 in^2

Part d) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question in the attached figure N 1

Part a) If the original square is shown below with side lengths marked with x, label the second diagram to represent the new rectangle constructed by increasing the sides as described above

we know that

The dimensions of the new rectangle will be

$Length=(x+4)\ in$

$width=(x+7)\ in$

The diagram of the new rectangle in the attached figure N 2

Part b) Label each portion of the second diagram with their areas in terms of x (when applicable) State the product of (x+4) and (x+7) as a trinomial

The diagram of the new rectangle with their areas in the attached figure N 3

we have that

To find out the area of each portion, multiply its length by its width

$A1=(x)(x)=x^{2}\ in^2$
