f(1)=72 f(n)=f(n−1)+9 Find an explicit formula for f(n)
1 answer:
= 9n + 63
generate the first few terms using the recursive equation
f(1) = 72
f(2) = 72 + 9 = 81
f(3) = 81 + 9 = 90
f(4) = 90 + 9 = 99
the sequence is 72, 81, 90, 99, .....
This is an arithmetic sequence whose n th term formula is
=
+ (n - 1 )d
where is the first term and d the common difference
d = 99 - 90 = 90 - 81 = 81 - 72 = 9 and = 72
= 72 + 9(n - 1) = 72 + 9n - 9 = 9n + 63 ← explicit formula

Hey there!
Assuming that all the sections are the same size, there are four sections of equal size.
Blue would be one out of those four sections, so the probability is 1/4. In decimal form this is .25, and as a percent this is 25%.
Hope this helps!
