41/2 + 2 3/8 can be written 4 4/8 + 2 3/8. We now have a common denominator.
Answer is 6 7/8.
Or convert everything to 1/8s

4 1/2 = 36/8 2 3/8 = 19/8 Both vulgar fractions
Add.

36/8 + 19/8 = 55/8 Convert by dividing by 8
Answer = 6 7/8

Which recursive sequence would produce the sequence 8,-35,137,…?

vagabundo [1.1K]

The recursive sequence that would produce the sequence 8,-35,137,… is T(n + 1) = -3 - 4T(n) where T(1) = 8

<h3>How to determine the recursive sequence that would produce the sequence?</h3>

The sequence is given as:

8,-35,137,…

From the above sequence, we can see that:

The next term is the product of the current term and -4 added to -3

i.e.

Next term = -3 + Current term * -4

So, we have:

T(n + 1) = -3 + T(n) * -4

Rewrite as:

T(n + 1) = -3 - 4T(n)

Hence, the recursive sequence that would produce the sequence 8,-35,137,… is T(n + 1) = -3 - 4T(n) where T(1) = 8

Find two positive numbers whose product is 25 and whose sum is a minimum. (if both values are the same number, enter it into bot

pshichka [43]

Let xy = 25, x and y > 0.

$y = \frac{25}{x}$
$\text{Denote S as: } x + y$
$S(x) = x + \frac{25}{x}$

$\text{Minimum: }S'(x) = 0, S''(x) > 0$
$S'(x) = 1 - \frac{25}{x^{2}}$
$1 - \frac{25}{x^{2}} = 0$
$x^{2} = 25$
$x = 5 (x > 0)$

$S''(x) = \frac{50}{x^{3}} > 0, (x > 0)$

Thus, at x = 5, there lies a minimum summation, and this forms a square with side length of 5.
