A group of students is arranging squares into layers to create a project. The first layer has 5 squares. The second layer has 10

squares. Which formula represents arithmetic explicit formula to determine the number of squares in each layer?
A.a1 = 5; an = 5 ⋅ an − 1, n > 0
B.a1 = 5; an = 5 ⋅ an + 1, n > 0
C.a1 = 5; an = 5 + an − 1, n > 0
D.a1 = 5; an = 5 + an + 1, n > 0

Answer:

  • Recursive formula:

                                         a_1=5;a_n=5+a_{n-1},n>0

Explanation:

All the shown formulae in the choice list are recursive formulae instead of explicit formulae.

Explicit formulae that represent arithmetic sequences are of the form:

  • a_n=a_1+(d-1)n

That kind of formula permits to determine any term knowing the first term, the number of the term searched, and the common difference (d).

On the other hand, the recursive formulae let you to calculate one term knowing the previous term and the difference.

In this case, the difference in the number of squares of two consecutive terms is:

  • differece = number of squares in the second layer - number of squares in the first layer.

  • d = 10 - 5 = 5

Then, the recursive formula is:

  • a_1=5;a_n=5+a_{n-1},n>0

Use the multiplication property of exponents to determine if each statement is true or false.
lisabon 2012 [21]
1)
LHS:
{a}^{4}  \times  {a}^{3}  \times a \\  =  {a}^{4 + 3 + 1}  \\  =  {a}^{7}
LHS = RHS. So, the statement is true

2)
LHS:
{5}^{2}  \times  {3}^{4}  \\  = 25 \times 81 \\  =  {5}^{2}  \times  {9}^{2}  \\  =   {45}^{2}
LHS not equal to RHS. So, the statement is false

3)
LHS:
{x}^{6}  \times  {x}^{0}  \times  {x}^{2}  \times  {x}^{3}  \\  =  {x}^{6 + 0 + 2 + 3}  \\  =  {x}^{11}
LHS = RHS. So, the statement is true.

4)
LHS:
7 {m}^{2}  \times 2m \times 4 {m}^{5}  \\  = (7 \times 2 \times 4) {m}^{2 + 1 + 5}  \\  = 56 {m}^{8}
LHS = RHS. So, the statement is true.

A garden is 4 yards 24 inches wide and 4 yards long. Write the ratio of the width to the length as a fraction in simplistic form
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The width to length ratio is ...

... width / length = (4 2/3 yards)/(4 yards) = (14/3)/4 = 14/12

... width/length = 7/6
