What are the first three terms of the sequence defined by the recursive function an=an-1-(an-2-4), when a5=-2 and a6=0

Mathematics

BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

6, 10, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ= aₙ₋₁ - (aₙ₋₂ - 4)= aₙ₋₁ - aₙ₋₂ + 4

a₅= -2

a₆= 0

-----------

aₙ₋₂= aₙ₋₁ - aₙ + 4

  • a₄= a₅- a₆ + 4 = -2 - 0 + 4 = 2
  • a₃= a₄ - a₅ + 4 = 2 - (-2) + 4 = 8
  • a₂= a₃ - a₄ + 4 = 8 - 2 + 4 = 10
  • a₁= a₂ - a₃ + 4 = 10 - 8 + 4 = 6

The first 3 terms: 6, 10 and 8

Select the point that is a solution to the system if inequalities yx^2-6
labwork [276]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

A(0,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1

You just have to plot each point on the graph.

The one that falls within the solution region is the correct choice.

From the graph, A(0,-2) falls within the solution region.

See graph

Method 2

If you substitute the points into the inequalities, the only point that will satisfy both inequalities simultaneously is A.

The first inequality is

y\:

If we substitute A(0,-2), we get;

-2\:


-2\:


This statement is true.

The second inequality is

y\:>\:x^2-6

If we substitute A(0,-2), we get;

-2\:>\:(0)^2-6

This gives,

-2\:>\:-6

This statement is also true.

Answer:\frac{8}{3}\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two upward facing parabolas  with equations

y=6x^2 & y=x^2+2

The two intersect at

6x^2=x^2+2

5x^2=2

x^2=\frac{2}{5}

x=\pm \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}

area  enclosed by them is given by

A=\int_{-\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}^{\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}\left [ \left ( x^2+2\right )-\left ( 6x^2\right ) \right ]dx

A=\int_{\sqrt{-\frac{2}{5}}}^{\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}\left ( 2-5x^2\right )dx

A=4\left [ \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}} \right ]-\frac{5}{3}\left [ \left ( \frac{2}{5}\right )^\frac{3}{2}-\left ( -\frac{2}{5}\right )^\frac{3}{2} \right ]

A=\frac{8}{3}\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below
Softa [21]

Answer:

(-1, -1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates and divide by 2

( -11+9)/2 = -2/2 = -1

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates and divide by 2

(0+-1)/2 = -1/2

(-1, -1/2)
