Answer:

1). Arithmetic mean

2). Recursive formula: a_{n}=a_{n-1}+17

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah is collecting recyclables for a science project. On day 1 she collects 35 recyclable objects, on day 2 she collected 52 and on day 3 she collected 69 recyclables.

So, sequence of recyclable objects formed was 35, 52, 69 .........

If this sequence is an arithmetic sequence then each successive term will have a common difference and if it's a geometric sequence then there will be a common ratio in each successive term.

Now common difference = d=T_{2}-T_{1}=T_{3}-T_{2}

52 - 35 = 17

69 - 52 = 17

Therefore, it's an arithmetic sequence.

Now we know the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n}=a_{n-1}+d

Here d = 17

So, recursive formula will be a_{n}=a_{n-1}+17

The scneario here expressed is an aritmetic sequence because it can be explained like this: 

<span><span><span>a1</span>=35
</span><span><span>an</span>=<span>a<span>n−1</span></span>+<span>17

So all the variables can fit in and will be better explained than a geometric sequence in which you need a common ratio and that is not needed in this case</span></span></span>

A dairy cow can produce up to 2000 gallons of milk every 365 days. At this rate, a cow can produce x gallons of milk in 500 days
Mariulka [41]

First I cant understand the choices, because on how you type so I will jus provide the answer for you. First the amount of milk produce is proportional to the number of days so

2000 = k(365)

K = 2000 / 365

So to solve for x

X = ( 2000/365) 500

<span>X = 2740</span>

Jay has 14 blocks in all he has6 yellow blocks the rest of the blocks are green how many green blocks does jay have
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

so

14 blocks - 6 yellow blocks = 8 blocks

from this information we can conclude that jay has 8 green blocks
