The width of the rectangle = x.
The length of the rectangle is 3 yd more than twice the width = 2x+3.
The area is 35 yd².

The area is the width times the length.
$35=x(2x+3) \\
35=2x^2+3x \\
0=2x^2+3x-35 \\
0=2x^2+10x-7x-35 \\
0=2x(x+5)-7(x+5) \\
0=(2x-7)(x+5) \\
2x-7=0 \ \lor \ x+5=0 \\
2x=7 \ \lor \ x=-5 \\
x=\frac{7}{2} \ \lor \ x=-5$

The length and width must be positive so $x=\frac{7}{2}=3.5$ .
$2x+3=2 \times \frac{7}{2} + 3=7+3=10$

The dimension of the rectangle are 3.5 yd and 10 yd.

Write each sequence as a function.

Answer: $f(n)=3^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Recursive formula : $a_{n+1} = 3a_n,$ , $a_1=1$

Then, $a_2=a_{1+1} = 3a_1=3(1)=3$

$a_3=a_{2+1} = 3a_2=3(3)=9$

$a_4=a_{3+1} = 3a_3=3(9)=27$

We can write it as : $f(n)=3^{n-1}$

such that

n $f(n)=3^{n-1}$

1 $f(1)=3^{1-1}=1$

2 $f(2)=3^{2-1}=3^1=3$

3 $f(3)=3^{3-1}=3^2=9$

Hence, the required function: $f(n)=3^{n-1}$

<h3>What is ratio?</h3>

The ratio is defined as the representation of the one number with respect to the other number. or one number is how many times to the other number.
