Which value represents the first two terms of the sequence a1=2 and an=-3(an-1)^2?

1 answer:

8 0

I'm not really sure what you're asking, but if you want to calculate the first two terms of the sequence after a1, then here's the answer:
If a1=2, then a2 = -3(a1 - 1)^2 = -3(2-1)^2 = -3*(-1)^2 = -3*1 = -3.
Then, a3 = -3(a2 - 1)^2 = -3(-3-1)^2 = -3(-4)^2 = -3*16 = -48.
I'm sorry if this is not what you wanted.

Sam used 6 loaves of elf bread on a 8 day hiking trip. He wants to know how many loaves of elf bread he should pack for a 12 day

KonstantinChe [14]

If he eats 6 loaves in 8 days, that means he ate 0.75 of a loaf each day. (6 divided by 8 = 0.75)
In a 12 day trip,
# divided by 12 = 0.75;
so to undo division, you multiply.
12 x 0.75 = #
# = 9. So 9 loaves for 12 days.

Fill in the missing expression

padilas [110]

Answer:

The complete table is:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ 0 ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

Explanation:

You can determine the content of each box by subtraction, running the rows and the columns.

The expressions are:

[ 5a ] + [ ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ ]

+ + + +

[ ] + [ ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

1. First row:

[ 5a ] + [ ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

[ ] = [10a+ 3] - [ 4a ] - [ 5a ] = 10a - 4a - 5a + 3 = a + 3

2. Second colum:

[ a + 3 ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ 3a + 8 ]

[ ] = [ 3a + 8 ] - [ a + 3 ] - [ 4 + a ] = 3a - a + a + 8 - 4 - 3 = a + 1

So far, you have completed this:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ ]

+ + + +

[ ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

3. Complete the row 3:

[ ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

[ ] = [ 1 ] - [ a + 1 ] - [ -3a ] = - a + 3a + 1 - 1 = 2a

So far, you have completed this:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

4. Complete the fourth column:

[ 10a + 3 ] + [ ] + [ 1 ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

[ ] = 10a + 2b + 8 - 10a - 3 - 1 = 2b + 4

So far, this is the results:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

5. Complete the second row:

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

[ ] = [ 2b + 4 ] - [ 2b ] - [ 4 + a ] = 2b - 2b + 4 - 4 - a = - a

So far:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

6. Complete the first colum:

[ 5a ] + [ 2b ] + [2a ] = [ ]

[ ] = [ 7a + 2b ]

So far:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

7. Complete the last row:

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

[ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ] - [ 7a + 2b ] - [ 3a + 8 ] = 0

The complete table is:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ 0 ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]
