Find the first five terms of the sequence given the following recursive formula:

Mathematics

Answer:

The first five terms are;

-3,-7,11,-29,69

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive definition of the sequence is

a_1=-3,, a_2=-7 and a_n=a_{n-2}-2a_{n-1}.

When n=3, we obtain;

a_3=a_{3-2}-2a_{3-1}.

\implies a_3=a_{1}-2a_{2}.

\implies a_3=-3-2(-7).

\implies a_3=11.

When n=4

\implies a_4=a_{2}-2a_{3}.

\implies a_4=-7-2(11)=-29.

When n=5

\implies a_5=a_{3}-2a_{4}.

\implies a_4=11-2(-29)=69.

Therefore the first five terms are;

-3,-7,11,-29,69

What is the domain of this function?
frutty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The closed dot at (0, 9) indicates that that's where the graph begins.  The arrow at the other end indicates that it has no end. Since the domain covers x values only (NOT Y VALUES!), we only need be concerned with the x values. It starts at x = 0 and never ends, so the domain is properly stated as

{x | x ≥ 0}

The volume of a cylinder is 196pi in. cubed and the height of the cylinder is 1 in. What is the radius of the​ cylinder?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:14in

Step-by-step explanation:

volume(v)=196π

Height(h)=1

Radius=√(v ➗ π x h)

Radius=√(196π ➗ πx1)

Radius=√(196)

Radius=14in

Solve each equation for the bold variable​
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

y = 3 - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal is to isolate the y variable

In order to have y by itself (on one side of the equation or equal sign), we must move the other numbers and variables to the other side.

Since 2x is on the same side as y, we have to subtract it from both sides. Subtracting it cancels out the original 2x and leaves the equation to look like this:

y = 3 - 2x

Now the y is isolated

Another example:

-5x + y = 15

To isolate the y, we must cancel out the -5x. Add 5x to both sides. It will cancel out the -5x and bring it to the right side of the equation, resulting in:

y = 15 + 5x

Find the value of x in the figure below 13x+8 2x+7
liberstina [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. (13x + 8) + (2x + 7) = 180 (definition of same side interior angles)

step 2. 15x + 15 = 180 (like terms)

step 3. 15x = 165 (subtract 15 from each side)

step 4. x = 11. (divide both sides by 15)
