Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A(1) = 9

A(n+1) = A(n) - 5

n = 1 ; A(1+1) = A(1) - 5

A(2) = 9 - 5

A(2) = 4

n = 2 ; A(2+1) = A(2) - 5

A(3) = 4 - 5

A(3) = 1

n = 3 ; A(3+1) = A(3) - 5

A(4) = 1 - 5

A(4) = -4

n = 4 ; A(4+1) = A(4) - 5

A(5) = -4 - 5

A(5) = -9

First four terms are: 9 , 4 , 1 , -4 , - 9

In a circle, area and circumference can be found using the formulas A=(pi)r^2 and C=2(pi)r, respectively, Write a formula for A

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

$A = \dfrac{C^2}{4\pi}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Area of a circle $A=\pi r^2$

Circumference of the circle $C = 2 \pi r$

Let us re-write the equation of area of circle:

$A=\pi r^2$

$A = \pi \times r \times r$

Multiplying and dividing with 2:

$A = \dfrac{2\pi r}{2} \times r\\\text{Putting }2\pi r = C:\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{C}{2} \times r\\\text{Multiplying and dividing by } 2\pi:\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{C}{2} \times \dfrac{2\pi r}{2\pi}\\\text{Putting }2\pi r = C:\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{C \times C}{4 \pi}\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{C^2}{4 \pi}$

Hence, <em>A</em> in terms of <em>C</em> can be represented as:

$A = \dfrac{C^2}{4\pi}$
