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.

What is the 6th term of the geometric sequence where a1 = -4096 and a4 = 64?
Akimi4 [234]
\bf \begin{array}{llccll}
term&value\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
a_1&-4096\\
a_2&-4096r\\
a_3&-4096rr\\
a_4&-4096rrr\\
&-4096r^3\\
&64
\end{array}\implies -4096r^3=64
\\\\\\
r^3=\cfrac{64}{-4096}\implies r^3=-\cfrac{1}{64}\implies r=\sqrt[3]{-\cfrac{1}{64}}
\\\\\\
r=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{-1}}{\sqrt[3]{64}}\implies \boxed{r=\cfrac{-1}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
r=-\frac{1}{4}\\
a_1=-4096\\
n=6
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_6=-4096\left( -\frac{1}{4} \right)^{6-1}\implies a_6=-4^6\left( -\frac{1}{4} \right)^5

A bicycle wheel travels 321 in for each revolution. What is the radius of the wheel ​
Sliva [168]

Answer:

51.1 ≈ r

Step-by-step explanation:

"A bicycle wheel travels 321 in for each revolution"- means that 321 is the circumference of the wheel that is a circle.

C = 2· π· r

What is the radius of the wheel ​?

321 = 2· π· r, divide both sides of the equation by 2 π

(321/2·π) = r , use calculator, solve and round the answer

51.1 ≈ r
