Answer:

aₙ= 47 -3n

Step-by-step explanation:

44, 41, 38, 35, 32

This is AP with 1st term of 44 and common difference of -3

nth term of this AP:

aₙ= a₁+(n-1)d= 44+(n-1)*(-3)= 44 - 3n+3= 47-3n

aₙ= 47 -3n

Eduardo has a recipe that uses 2/3 cup of flour for each batch. If he makes 4 batches, how many cups of flour will he need? How

Answer:

4 batches: $2\frac{2}{3}$ cups

7 batches: $4\frac{2}{3}$ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If he uses 2/3 cup of flour for <u>each</u> batch, then that is 2/3 four times, or 2/3 · 4.

$\frac{2}{3}$ × $\frac{4}{1}$

= $\frac{8}{3}$ = $2\frac{2}{3}$

If he makes three more, than that will be 7 batches in total. We can multiply 2/3 by 3 to find out how much will be needed for those extra three, then add that product to $2\frac{2}{3}$ .

$\frac{2}{3}$ × $\frac{3}{1}$

= $\frac{6}{3}$ = 2

$2\frac{2}{3} +2$ = $4\frac{2}{3}$

Thus, $2\frac{2}{3}$ and $4\frac{2}{3}$ are the answers.

Let $f(x)=e^{-1/x}$ . Then $f'(x)=\frac1{x^2}e^{-1/x}>0$ for all $x\ge2$ , so $f$ is strictly increasing. As $x\to\infty$ , $e^{-1/x}\to e^0=1$ , so $f$ is bounded above by 1. This is to say,
