Answer:
b(n) = -23 + 18n
Step-by-step explanation:
NOTE - This is an arithmetic sequence, so each number is increasing by addition. If you were in a geometric sequence, however, you'd be multiplying. This means that the explicit formula for the geometric sequence you'll be learning later on will be different.
The formula for explicit formula is b(n)=b(1)+d(n-1). The variable d represents the common difference and the a is whatever number of the term you are using.
Since you have b(1), you look at what your first term is. Plug -5 into a(1).
To find your common difference, find 13-(-5). This is 18, and adding it to the others you can see that it continues.
So, plugging in what you have so far it looks like b(n) = -5 + 18(n - 1)
All we need to do now is simplify.
1. Distribute: -5 + 18n - 18
2. Add like terms: -23 + 18n
Hope this helped and made sense lol.
Answer:
401/99 and 802/198
Step-by-step explanation:
Unfortunately the other answer to this question is wrong - you are looking for something equivalent to 4.0505050505050505, not just 4.05.
Typing the answer suggestions into a calculator you get:
405/99 = 4.0909090909 which is incorrect
401/99 = 4.0505050505 which is correct
81/33 = 2.45454545455 which is incorrect
802/198 = 4.0505050505 which is correct
405/100 = 4.05 which is incorrect as it doesn't repeat.
Hopefully this helps, let me know if you have any questions :)
This is the assumption method ;)
Take all tickets to be adult tickets
$9 x 553 = $4977
Then..... $4977 - $3936 = $1041
The difference between the child and adult ticket is $3, so divide $1041 by $3
$1041 divided by $3 = 347
347 is the number of <em>child </em>tickets sold
347 x $6 = $2082
So 553 - 347 = 206 ( no. of adult tickets )
206 x $9 = $1854
Child tickets sold : 347
Adult tickets sold : 206
