Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a1 = 6
an = 3 + 2(an-1),
Substitute n = 2 into the formula
a2 = 3 + 2(a1)
a2 = 3 + 2(6)
a2 = 3+12
a2 = 15
Hence the second term of the sequence is 15
Answer: 0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to solve this set of linear equations by the elimination method.
Let x=price of bag of flour and y=price of bag of sugar
Multiply the first equation by -3.
-3(7x+5y=584)
Multiply the second equation by 5.
5(5x+3y=384)
Solve by elimination.
X=42
Substitute value of x into one of the original equations.
Y=58

Answer:
(c) f(x) is an even degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient.
Step-by-step explanation:
The leading terms of the two functions are ...
f(x): x² (even degree, positive coefficient: 1)
g(x): x³ (odd degree, positive coefficient: 1)
Then it is true that ...
f(x) is an even degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given recursive formula:</u>
- a₁ = -1
- aₙ = - 3aₙ₋₁ + 6 for n ≥ 2
<u>The first 4 terms are:</u>
- a₁ = - 1, given
- a₂ = - 3*(-1) + 6 = 3 + 6 = 9
- a₃ = - 3*(9) + 6 = - 27 + 6 = - 21
- a₄ = - 3*(-21) + 6 = 63 + 6 = 69
