Answer: The first and last options are correct
Explanation:
The recursive formula is written in terms of the previous term of the sequence. From the information given,
the Arnold's are going to save a nickel on the first day of the month and double the amount each day of the month. Thus, the recursive formula would be
where
an - 1 defines a previous term
To write the explicit formula, we would apply the formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence which is expressed as
An = ar^(n - 1)
where
a is the first term of the sequence
n is the number of terms
r is the common ratio between consecutive terms
Thus,
r = 2 because the amount is doubling each day
n = number of days
a = value of 1 nickel = $0.05
By substituting these values into the formula,
the explicit formula is
A(n) = 0.05(2)^n - 1

Answer:
68%
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the empirical rule, 68% of the distribution lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
Here, the mean is 20 and the standard deviation is 5. The bounds on 1 standard deviation from the mean are 20±5 = [15, 25]. This is precisely the interval of interest.

Answer:
690%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent increase, take the new amount and subtract the original amount
5600000-80000=5520000
Divide it by the original amount
5520000/800000
6.9
Multiply this by 100% to change from decimal form to percent form
6.9*100%
690%
If your numbers are 4 1/2 and 2 1/2, then at the end of round 2 brian would have lost 7 points in total
Solving for x would give me 14 and negative 10 which would lead to the problem looking like so 14(-10-4)=140
