There really is no single "obvious" choice here...
Possibly the sequence is periodic, with seven copies of -1 followed by six copies of 0, or perhaps seven -1s and seven 0s. Or maybe seven -1s, followed by six 0s, then five 1s, and so on, but after a certain point it would seem we have to have negative copies of a number, which is meaningless.
Or maybe it's not periodic, and every seventh value in the sequence is incremented by 1? Who knows?
I'll go ahead and assume the latter case, that the sequence is not periodic, since that's technically somewhat easier to manage. We can assign the following rule to the
-th term in the sequence:
for
.
So the generating function for this sequence might be
As to what is meant by "closed form", I'm not sure. Would this answer be acceptable? Or do you need to find a possibly more tractable form for the coefficient not in terms of the floor function?
Answer:
The graph is shifted 3 units to the left

Answer:
B = 1.875
Step-by-step explanation:
given that A varies directly as B and inversely as C then the equation relating them is
A = ← k is the constant of variation
to find k use the condition A = 12 when B = 3 and C = 2 , then
12 = ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
24 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )
8 = k
A = ← equation of variation
when A = 10 and C = 1.5 , then
10 = ( multiply both sides by 1.5 )
15 = 8B ( divide both sides by 8 )
1.875 = B
Answer:
I want to say its (-1,5) but I'm not sure
