The question doesn't make sense.

az = 8, the z should be a #

an = -3an-1, is this supposed to be

a_{n} =-3(a_{n-1} ) ?

What's the z?

Bill is able to save $35/week after working part-time and paying his expenses. These two formulas show his weekly savings: f(1)
Umnica [9.8K]
1. We use the recursive formula to make the table of values:
f(1) = 35
f(2) = f(1) + f(2-1) = f(1) + f(1) = 35 + 35 = 70
f(3) = f(1) + f(3-1) = f(1) + f(2) = 35 + 70 = 105
f(4) = f(1) + f(4-1) = f(1) + f(3) = 35 + 105 = 140
f(5) = f(1) + f(5-1) = f(1) + f(4) = 35 + 140 = 175

2. We observe that the pattern is that for each increase of n by 1, the value of f(n) increases by 35. The explicit equation would be that f(n) = 35n. This fits with the description that Bill saves up $35 each week, thus meaning that he adds $35 to the previous week's value.

3. Therefore, the value of f(40) = 35*40 = 1400. This is easier than having to calculate each value from f(1) up to f(39) individually. The answer of 1400 means that Bill will have saved up $1400 after 40 weeks.

4. For the sequence of 5, 6, 8, 11, 15, 20, 26, 33, 41...
The first-order differences between each pair of terms is: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...since these differences form a linear equation, this sequence can be expressed as a quadratic equation. Since quadratics are functions (they do not have repeating values of the x-coordinate), therefore, this sequence can also be considered a function.

If a company buys coffee at a price of $5/kg and then sells it their stores for $18/kg, what is the percentage profit compared t
vredina [299]

Answer:

260%

Step-by-step explanation:

For the coffee;

cost price (C_{P}) = $5/kg

selling price (S_{P}) = $18/kg

Percentage profit (%P) = \frac{S_P - C_P}{C_P} * 100% %

Substitute the right values into the above;

%P = \frac{18 - 5}{5} * 100% %

%P = \frac{13}{5} * 100% %

%P = 260%

Therefore, the percentage profit compared to the original cost of the coffee is 260%

A triangle has sides with lengths of 4, 12, and 13. Is it a right triangle
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

this is the anwser

Step-by-step explanation:

4 12 13 triangle

Obtuse scalene triangle.

Sides: a = 4   b = 12   c = 13

Area: T = 23.894

Perimeter: p = 29

Semiperimeter: s = 14.5

Angle ∠ A = α = 17.839° = 17°50'19″ = 0.311 rad

Angle ∠ B = β = 66.782° = 66°46'55″ = 1.166 rad

Angle ∠ C = γ = 95.379° = 95°22'46″ = 1.665 rad

Height: ha = 11.947

Height: hb = 3.982

Height: hc = 3.676

Median: ma = 12.349

Median: mb = 7.517

Median: mc = 6.144

Inradius: r = 1.648

Circumradius: R = 6.529

Vertex coordinates: A[13; 0] B[0; 0] C[1.577; 3.676]

Centroid: CG[4.859; 1.225]

Coordinates of the circumscribed circle: U[6.5; -0.612]

Coordinates of the inscribed circle: I[2.5; 1.648]

Exterior (or external, outer) angles of the triangle:

∠ A' = α' = 162.161° = 162°9'41″ = 0.311 rad

∠ B' = β' = 113.218° = 113°13'5″ = 1.166 rad
