Answer:

The recursive formula to generate the sequence 9.6,-4.8,2.4,-1.2,0.6....

$a_n=-\frac{a_n-1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(1)=9.6

The given sequence

9.6,-4.8,2.4,-1.2,0.6....

$a_1=9.6$

$a_2=4.8$

$a_3=2.4$

$\frac{a_2}{a_1} =\frac{-1}{2}$

$a_2=-\frac{a-1}{2}$

similarly , we get

$\frac{a_3}{a_2} =\frac{2.4}{-4.8}$

By simplification we get

$a_3=-\frac{a_2}{2}$

..................................................

......................................................

$a_n=-\frac{a_n-1}{2}$

Hence, the recursive formula for the given sequence

$a_n=-\frac{a_n-1}{2}$ .

N-1(-1/2) is the formula because the sequence is taking half of the previous number and changing its sign

The cost of C (in dollars) of making n watches is represented by C=15n+85. How many watches are made when the cost is $385?

hichkok12 [17]

well...

15 x 20 = 300

300+85 = 385

you can get 20 watches for $385

100 points!!! Pre calculus. I need helpppppppppp

Fantom [35]

Answer:

We have function,

$y = 3 - 6 \sin {}^{} (2x + \frac{\pi}{2} )$

Standard Form of Sinusoid is

$y = - 6 \sin(2x + \frac{\pi}{2} ) + 3$

Which corresponds to

$y = a \sin(b(x + c)) + d$

where a is the amplitude

2pi/b is the period

c is phase shift

d is vertical shift or midline.

In the equation equation, we must factor out 2 so we get

$y = - 6(2(x + \frac{\pi}{4} )) + 3$

Also remeber a and b is always positive

So now let answer the questions.

a. The period is

$\frac{2\pi}{ |b| }$

$\frac{2\pi}{ |2| } = \pi$

So the period is pi radians.

b. Amplitude is

$| - 6| = 6$

Amplitude is 6.

c. Domain of a sinusoid is all reals. Here that stays the same. Range of a sinusoid is [-a+c, a-c]. Put the least number first, and the greatest next.

So using that<em> rule, our range is [6+3, -6+3]= [9,-3] So our range</em> is [-3,9].

D. Plug in 0 for x.

$3 - 6 \sin((2(0) + \frac{\pi}{2} )$

$3 - 6 \sin( \frac{\pi}{2} )$

$3 - 6(1)$

$3 - 6$

$= - 3$

So the y intercept is (0,-3)

E. To find phase shift, set x-c=0 to solve for phase shift.

$x + \frac{\pi}{4} = 0$

$x = - \frac{\pi}{4}$

Negative means to the left, so the phase shift is pi/4 units to the left.

f. Period is PI, so use interval [0,2pi].

After a picnic, 5/12 of the cornbread is left over. Val eats 4/5 of the leftover cornbread. What fraction of the cornbread does

Kay [80]

Answer:

5/12 - 4/5 = -23/60. You can't simplify -23/60. Hope this is right

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5= 48/60

5/12 = 25/60

25/60-48/60= -23/60
