5x+2y=12 5x+2y=12
5x-2y=28 5(4)+2y=12
2y=12-20
10x=40 2y=-8
x=40/10 y=-8/2
x=4 y=-4

Which contract costs more per month? An 18 month cable contract for $2070 or a 12 month contract at $1776? Which is the better d

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Contract A is cheaper because $115 per month is less than $148 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit price we divide the total cost given by the total months given for each contract to find out the cost per month.

$2070/18 months = $115 per month

$1776/12 months = $148 per month

Contract A is cheaper because $115 per month is less than $148 per month

A playground is being designed where children can interact with their friends in certain combinations. If there is 1 child, ther

mariarad [96]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In the question,

The number of interaction for 1 child = 0

Number of interactions for 2 children = 1

Number of interactions for 3 children = 5

Number of interaction for 4 children = 14

So,

We need to find out the pattern for the recursive equation for the given conditions.

So,

We see that,

$a_{1}=0\\a_{2}=1\\a_{3}=5\\a_{4}=14\\$

Therefore, on checking, we observe that,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$

On checking the equation at the given values of 'n' of, 1, 2, 3 and 4.

At,

n = 1

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{1}=a_{1-1}+(1-1)^{2}\\a_{1}=0+0=0\\a_{1}=0$

which is true.

At,

n = 2

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{2}=a_{2-1}+(2-1)^{2}\\a_{2}=a_{1}+1\\a_{2}=1$

Which is also true.

At,

n = 3

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{3}=a_{3-1}+(3-1)^{2}\\a_{3}=a_{2}+4\\a_{3}=5$

Which is true.

At,

n = 4

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{4}=a_{4-1}+(4-1)^{2}\\a_{4}=a_{3}+9\\a_{4}=14$

This is also true at the given value of 'n'.

Therefore, the recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$
