What the recursive formula for the sequence

Mathematics
1 answer:
klemol [59]3 years ago
8 0

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence} \\\\ a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ d=\textit{common difference} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ a_n=2-5(n-1)\implies a_n=\stackrel{\stackrel{a_1}{\downarrow }}{2}+(n-1)(\stackrel{\stackrel{d}{\downarrow }}{-5})


so, we know the first term is 2, whilst the common difference is -5, therefore, that means, to get the next term, we subtract 5, or we "add -5" to the current term.

\bf \begin{cases} a_1=2\\ a_n=a_{n-1}-5 \end{cases}


just a quick note on notation:

\bf \stackrel{\stackrel{\textit{current term}}{\downarrow }}{a_n}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\stackrel{\textit{the term before it}}{\downarrow }}{a_{n-1}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{current term}}{a_5}\qquad \quad \stackrel{\textit{term before it}}{a_{5-1}\implies a_4}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{current term}}{a_{12}}\qquad \quad \stackrel{\textit{term before it}}{a_{12-1}\implies a_{11}}

Saritha will construct a rectangle that has a height of 4 units and an area of up to 48 square units. What inequality represents
Leto [7]

Answer:

Remember that for a square of height H and length L, the area will be:

A = H*L

In this case, we know that the height is H = 4 units.

And the area is up to 48 square units

This means that the maximum possible area of this rectangle is 48 square units.

Then we have:

A ≤ 48 square units.

And we also could add:

0 square units < A ≤ 48 square units.

Now we can replace A by H*L = L*(4units)

0 square units < L*(4 units) ≤ 48 square units.

Now we need to divide all 3 sides by 4 units.

(0 square units)/(4 units) < L  ≤ (48 square units)/(4 units)

0 units < L  ≤ 12 units.

This is the range of lengths that Saritha can use to reconstruct the rectangle.

Now if we define b as the length of the bases, then we will use:

b =  height = 4units.

Then:

1b = 4units.

(1 b/4units) = 1

This means that:

12 units = (12 units)*1 = (12 units)*(1 b/4units) =  (12/4) b = 3 b

Then the range of possible values of L is:

0b < L  ≤ 3b

PLEASE HELP this is a missing assignment i will mark brainliest

The polynomial a(x) = -18x² - 6x + 12 is the dividend of the polynomial division

The quotient q(x) is 0 and the remainder r(x) is -18x² - 6x + 12

<h3>How to divide the polynomial?</h3>

The polynomial functions are given as:

a(x) = -18x² - 6x + 12

b(x) = 3x³ + 9x - 1

The quotient equation is given as:

a(x)/b(x) = q(x) + r(x)/b(x)

Since the degree of the dividend a(x) is less than the degree of the divisor b(x), then it means that the value of the quotient q(x) is:

q(x) = 0

And the remainder r(x) is:

r(x) = a(x)

Substitute known values

r(x) = -18x² - 6x + 12

Hence, the quotient q(x) is 0 and the remainder r(x) is -18x² - 6x + 12
