Yes I got an A in college algebra...
Answer:
a. a[1] = 3; a[n] = 2a[n-1]
b. a[n] = 3·2^(n-1)
c. a[15] = 49,152
Step-by-step explanation:
Each term of the given sequence is 2 times the previous term. (This description is the basis of the recursive formula.) That is, the terms of the given sequence have a common ratio of 2. This means the sequence is geometric, so the formulas for explicit and recursive rules for a geometric sequence apply.
The first term is 3, and the common ratio is 2.
<h3>(a)</h3>
The recursive rule is ...
a[1] = 3
a[n] = 2×a[n-1]
__
<h3>(b)</h3>
The explicit rule is ...
a[n] = a[1]×r^(n-1)
a[n] = 3×2^(n-1)
__
<h3>(c)</h3>
The 15th term is ...
a[15] = 3×2^(15-1) = 3×2^14
a[15] = 49,152
Answer:
18x = 7.2
x =.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the weight of one box
We have 18 boxes that weigh 7.2 lbs
18x = 7.2
Divide each side by 18
18x/18 = 7.2/18
x =.4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Alvin takes pictures with his smartphone.
Of the pictures
are animals.
of the animals are dogs.
To find which fraction of all pictures are pictures with dogs, you can simply multiply two fractions:

<u>Another way</u> to solve this question:
Let the number of all pictures be 24 (divisible by both 4 and 6).
Then the number of pictures with animals is

and the number of pictures with dogs is

Hence, the fraction of pictures with dogs of all pictures is
