Answer:

252 bags of maize

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that a farmer harvested maize

In the year 2012 = 144 bags of maize

In the year 2013(following year) the harvest decreased in the ratio 3:4

This means

3:4 = 2013: 2012.

Where number of bags harvested in 2013 = unknown = x

3/4 = x/ 144

Cross multiply 4x = 3 × 144

x = 3 × 144/ 4

× = 108

This means 108 bags of maize was harvested in 2013

The total number of bags harvested is = 108 + 144

= 252 bags of maize.

Write the first three terms of the sequence defined by the recursive formula if a1=2.
gogolik [260]

The first three terms of the sequence defined by the recursive formula are 2, -7/2 and -3/2

Given:

an =  \frac{an - 1}{4}  - 2

where,

n = number of terms

First term, a1 = 2

Second term, a2

an =  \frac{an - 1}{4}  - 2

a2 = {(2 - 1)/ 4} - 2

= 1/4 - 2

= (1-8) / 4

= - 7/4

Third term, a3

= {(3-1) / 4} - 2

= 2/4 - 2

= 1/2 - 2

= (1-4) / 2

= -3/2

Therefore, the first three terms of the sequence defined by the recursive formula are 2, -7/2 and -3/2

Solve this inequality j/4 - 8 < 4
zubka84 [21]
J/4 - 8 < 4
<u>    + 8   + 8  </u>   *add 8 to both sides to cancel -8.
j/4      < 12
<u>*4/1       *4/1   </u>   *multiply 4/1 to both sides to cancel 1/4
j         < 48

j should be less than 48 to make the inequality true.

example: j = 47
j/4       - 8 < 4
47/4   - 8 < 4
11.75 - 8 < 4
       3.75 < 4  

Any number below 48 will end up with an answer less than 4. if j is 48 and above, the inequality is false because the answer arrived at will be equal to or greater than 4.
