Bill is able to save $35/week after working part-time and paying his expenses. These two formulas show his weekly savings: f(1)

= 35, f(n) = f(1) + f(n-1) for n > 1 f(n) = 35n Which one of these formulas show the sequence written rercursively and which shows it written explicity? Justify your explanantions. Use the recursive formula to make a table of values for 1 ≤ n ≤ 5. Show your calculations. Use the explicit formula to demonstrate the most direct method to find f(40). Explain why you chose that method and what your answer means. Show your calculations. Given the sequence of numbers: 5, 6, 8, 11, 15, 20, 26, 33, 41,… Explain whether or not this sequence can be considered a function.

1. We use the recursive formula to make the table of values:
f(1) = 35
f(2) = f(1) + f(2-1) = f(1) + f(1) = 35 + 35 = 70
f(3) = f(1) + f(3-1) = f(1) + f(2) = 35 + 70 = 105
f(4) = f(1) + f(4-1) = f(1) + f(3) = 35 + 105 = 140
f(5) = f(1) + f(5-1) = f(1) + f(4) = 35 + 140 = 175

2. We observe that the pattern is that for each increase of n by 1, the value of f(n) increases by 35. The explicit equation would be that f(n) = 35n. This fits with the description that Bill saves up $35 each week, thus meaning that he adds $35 to the previous week's value.

3. Therefore, the value of f(40) = 35*40 = 1400. This is easier than having to calculate each value from f(1) up to f(39) individually. The answer of 1400 means that Bill will have saved up $1400 after 40 weeks.

4. For the sequence of 5, 6, 8, 11, 15, 20, 26, 33, 41...
The first-order differences between each pair of terms is: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...since these differences form a linear equation, this sequence can be expressed as a quadratic equation. Since quadratics are functions (they do not have repeating values of the x-coordinate), therefore, this sequence can also be considered a function.

How do you compare two-way frequencies in a relative frequency table
Nikolay [14]
  • To avoid such problems when comparing the categorical variables in a two-way frequency table, we need to exam the table by separate categories (rows or columns). When a relative frequency is determined based upon a row or column, it is called a "conditional" relative frequency.
  • Two-way relative frequency tables show what percent of data points fit in each category. ...
  • For example, here's how we would make column relative frequencies:
  • Step 1: Find the totals for each column.
  • Step 2: Divide each cell count by its column total and convert to a percentage.

A culture started with 5000 bacteria after 5 hours it grew to 6500 bacteria predict how many bacteria will be present after 16 h
postnew [5]

Answer:

After 16 hours bacterial count will be 11600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bacterial growth is always an exponential growth in a given culture.So the formula for the growth will be

Final counts of bacteria = Initial counts × (rate of growth)^{time}

Given from first part Initial counts = 5000

Final counts= 6500 and time of growth = 5 hours

Then we will get the value of rate of growth of bacteria from the bacteria

⇒ 6500 = 5000×(rate)^{5}

(rate)^{5}= \frac{6500}{5000} = 1.3

Rate = \sqrt[5]{1.3} = 1.05

Now again to get the value of bacteria after 16 hours

Final Count = 5000×(1.05)^{16}

                   = 5000×2.32

                   = 11600

Suppose the function f(x) = 2x + 12
yarga [219]
First figure out how much it costs to rent seven movies a month. f(7)=2(7) + 12–> 14 + 12–> $26 Now we need to find the difference between 26 and 10. 26 - 10= 16. So Casey needs $16 more to rent 7 movies a month

How are the mean and median affected when the value 5 is included in the data set belo
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The mean increases and the median changes to 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean. You need to add all of the numbers together then divide by how many numbers there are. The median is found by the middle number.
