Express the terms of the following sequence by giving a recursive formula.

emmasim [6.3K]

The recursive formula for given sequence is: $a_n = a_{n-1}-7$

And the terms will be expressed as:

$a_1 = 11\\a_2 = a_{2-1} - 7 \\a_2= a_1 - 7\\a_2 = 11- 7\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = a_{3-1} - 7 \\a_3= a_2 - 7\\a_3 = 4 - 7\\a_3 = -3\\a_4 = a_{4-1} - 7 \\a_4= a_3 - 7\\ a_4= -3 - 7\\a_4 = -10\\a_5 = a_{5-1} - 7 \\a_5= a_4 - 7\\a_5 = -10 - 7\\a_5 = -17\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we have to determine if the given sequence is arithmetic sequence or geometric. For that purpose, we calculate the common difference and common ratio

Given sequence is:

11,4,-3,-10,-17...

Here

$a_1 = 11\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = -3\\So,\\d = a_2 - a_1 = 4-11 = -7\\d = a_3-a_2 = -3-4 = -7$

As the common difference is same, given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

A recursive formula is a formula that is used to generate the next term of the sequence using the previous term and common difference

So, the recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_{n-1} +d\\Putting\ d = -7\\a_n = a_{n-1}-7$

Hence,

The recursive formula for given sequence is: $a_n = a_{n-1}-7$

And the terms will be expressed as:

$a_1 = 11\\a_2 = a_{2-1} - 7 \\a_2= a_1 - 7\\a_2 = 11- 7\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = a_{3-1} - 7 \\a_3= a_2 - 7\\a_3 = 4 - 7\\a_3 = -3\\a_4 = a_{4-1} - 7 \\a_4= a_3 - 7\\ a_4= -3 - 7\\a_4 = -10\\a_5 = a_{5-1} - 7 \\a_5= a_4 - 7\\a_5 = -10 - 7\\a_5 = -17\\$

3rd question, I’m sorry guys but I was sick that’s why I didn’t attend school and the teacher said if I didn’t submit it by 5 ho

Answer:

21. ΔUYZ Obtuse

22. ΔBCD Right or Rectangle

23. ΔADB Acute

24. ΔUXZ Acute

25. ΔUWZ Right or Rectangle

26. ΔUXY Equiangular and acute

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to classify each triangle by its angles.

Acute: They have 3 acute angles (less than 90 degrees).

Rectangle: The inner angle A is straight (90 degrees) and the other 2 angles are sharp. The sides that form the right angle are called legs (c and b), the other side hypotenuse.

Obtuse: The inner angle A is obtuse (more than 90 degrees). The other 2 angles are acute.

ΔUYZ Obtuse The inner angle Y is obtuse (more than 90°).

ΔBCD Right or Rectangle The inner angle C is straight (90°).

ΔADB Acute It has 3 acute angles (less than 90°).

ΔUXZ Acute It has 3 acute angles (less than 90°).

ΔUWZ Right or Rectangle The inner angle W is straight (90°).

ΔUXY Equiangular and acute Which means all the inner angles are equal (60°).

The diagram is a "mapping diagram" that describes a function? The function pairs numbers from the set on the left with numbers from the set on the right. "Domain" refers to the numbfers on the left, where the arrows come FROM. (Some people describe this as a mapping of x to y, with x on the left and y on the right.) The answer is B.
