​ c(1)=−20 c(n)=c(n−1)+10 ​ Find the 2nd term in the sequence.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bad White [126]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

-10 is the second term.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the first term each term is obtained from the previous one by adding 10.

c(1) = -20

so c(2) = -20 + 10

= -10.

A rose bush of height `h` is planted at an initial height of 3 feet. The bush is expected to grow an average of 0.5 feet per yea
noname [10]

Answer:

The height is 4.5ft

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initial\ Height = 3\ ft

Growth = 0.5\ ft yearly

Required

Determine the height in 3 years

First, we need to determine the growth equation.

Represent the height with h and the years with x

So:

y = Initial\ Height + Growth * x

y = 3 + 0.5 * x

y = 3 + 0.5x

To solve the required, we have that:

x = 3

y = 3 + 0.5x becomes

y = 3 + 0.5 *3

y = 3 + 1.5

y = 4.5

<em>Hence, the height is 4.5ft</em>

The population of Collin County, which follows the exponential growth model,
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

(a) k=0.06217

(b) P=264036e^{0.06217t}

(c) 556,755 is the population in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Population increased from 264,036 in 1990 to 491,675 in 2000.

Let assume , year 1990 as t=0

When t=0, population P = 264,036

When t=10, population P = 491,675

Exponential growth equation is P=P_0e^(kt)

P_0 is the initial population when t=0

So P_0= 264,036

When t=10, population P = 491,675

Plug in all the values and find out k

491675 =  264036 e^{k*10}

Divide both sides by 264036

\frac{491675}{264036}=e^{k*10}

To remove 'e' we take ln on both sides

ln(\frac{491675}{264036})=lne^{10k}

ln(\frac{491675}{264036})=10kln(e)

The value of ln(e) = 1

ln(\frac{491675}{264036})=10k

Divide both sides by 10

k=0.06217

Exponential growth equation is P=P_0e^{kt}

We know  P_0= 264,036

Replace the value of k

P=264036e^{0.06217t}

Now , we find the population in 2012

For year 2012 , t= 12

So we plug on 12 for t  and solve for P

P=264036e^{0.06217*12}

P = 556755.09504

556,755 is the population in 2012

Tresset [83]

Answer:

2 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/4 is the answer because it doesn't have a coefficient and if you were to turn it into a decimal it could be added to -5.92.

Solve this system of linear equations. Separate the x- and y-values with a comma. 8x + 10y = 10 5x + 4y = -14
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer

{-10, 9}

Step-by-step explanation:

The above are Simultaneous equations

<h2>What are simultaneous equations?</h2>

These are two or more equations that share same variables.

8X + 10Y = 10--------(1)

5X + 4Y = -14-------(2)

<h3>Multiply equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by 8</h3>

40X + 50Y = 50 ---------(3)

40X + 32Y = - 112--------(4)

<h3>Subtract equation (4) from (3)</h3>

18Y = 162

<h3>Divide bothsides by 18</h3>

\frac{18y}{18}  =  \frac{162}{18}  \\ y = 9

<h3>Substitute y = 9 into equation (3)</h3>

40X + 50Y = 50

40X + 50(9) = 50

40X + 450 = 50

40X = 50 - 450

40X = - 400

<h3>Dividing \: bothsides \: by \: 40 \\  \frac{40x}{40}  =  \frac{ - 400}{40}  \\  \\ x = -  10 \\ therefore \: the \: values \: are \: -10,  \:  9</h3>

{-10, 9}
