Answer:
The answer is option (C)=an-1+7
Step-by-step explanation:
A recursive rule is a formula that in which each term is expressed as a function of its preceding term(s), meaning in order to get to the nth term you have to express it in a form of the term that comes before it. In our case the a(n-1) term
So for the sequence -9, -2, 5, 12
The nth term is any number on the sequence and
- -2 is the a(n-1) term for -9
- 5 is the a(n-1) term for -2
- 12 is the a(n-1) term for 5
So we need to find out what we have to do to the preceding term to get the next.
To get -2 from -9 we have to add 7 to -9; -9+7=-2
To get 5 from -2 we have to add 7 to -2; -2+7=5
To get 12 from 5 we add 7 to 5; 7+5=12
So the recursive rule would be= a n-1+7

Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
angle 1 plus angle 2 equals 90 because they are complementary. combining like terms gives you 8x + 18 = 90. then you get 8x = 72, which means that x equals 9
Answer:
The variance of the temperatures of the 10 day period must be at least zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
The variance is the expectation of the squared deviation of a random variable from its mean. It measures how far a set of numbers are spread out from their average value.
Its unit of measure corresponding to the square of the unit of measure of the variable. In this case, the variance of the temperatures is expressed in (°C)². The variance has a minimum value of 0.
Since the variance is squared, it will always have values greater than zero.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve simultaneous equations using substitution method, elimination method or graphical method. But for this purpose, we will be using the elimination method.
3x+4y=8 Equation 1
2x+y=42 Equation 2
Multiply Equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, so as to get the same coefficient for x
2(3x+4y=8)= 6x+8y=16 Equation 3
3(2x+y=42)= 6x+3y=126 Equation 4
Subtract equation 4 from 3, to eliminate x
6x-6x=0
8y-3y= 5y
16-126= -110
We now have 5y=-110
Divide both sides by 5,
y= -110/5
= -22
Substituting for y in equation 2
2x+(-22)= 42
2x= 42+22
2x=64
x= 64/2
= 32
(x, y)
(32, -22)
