The recursive formula $a_n = a_{n-1}-6$ can be used to generate the shown sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

Recursive formula is the formula that is used to generate the next term of a sequence using previous term.

The general form of arithmetic sequence's recursive formula is:

$a_n = a_{n-1}+d$

Given

5,-1,-7,-13,-19

Here

$a_1 = 5\\a_2 = -1\\a_3 = -7$

First of all we have to find the common difference of the sequence.

So,

$d = a_2 -a_1 = -1-5 = -6\\d = a_3-a_2 = -7+1 = -6$

Putting the value of d in the general recursive formula

$a_n = a_{n-1}-6$

Hence,

The recursive formula $a_n = a_{n-1}-6$ can be used to generate the shown sequence

Answer:

C: f(n + 1) = f(n) - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) = 5

f(2) = -1

f(3) = -7

f(1) - f(2) = 6

or:

f(2) = f(1) - 6

Re-written to:

f(n + 1) = f(n) - 6

Suppose the newspaper states that the probability of rain today is 65%.

Julli [10]

Answer:

no rain today = 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

In probability, the Complement Rule states that the sum of the probability of an event and its complement must = 1

i.e

P( Event) + P (Complement) = 1

In this sense, we can think of the complement of an event as the "not-event". I.e the event does not happen.

In our case, the event = "rain today",

hence the complement will be = "not rain today" (i.e no rain today)

using the formula above, we are given that P(rain today) = 65% = 0.65

hence

0.65 + P(Complement) = 1

P(Complement) = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35 = 35%

Stacy wants to build a patio with a small, circular pond in her backyard.The pond will have a 6-foot radius. She also wants to i

solong [7]

First we are going to find the Area of the pond using the area of a circle formula: $A= \pi r^2$
where
$A$ is the area of the circle
$r$ is the radius of the circle
We know for our problem that the pond will have a 6-foot radius, so $r=6$ . Lets replace that value on our area formula:
$A= \pi r^2$
$A= \pi (6)^2$
$A=113.1ft^{2}$
We know that the <span>cost of installing the pond is $0.62 per square foot, so lets multiply the area we just found by the cost:
Total cost of pund=</span> $(0.62)(113.1)=70.12$ dollars

Now, let $x$ be the width the rectangle, so its length will be $x+13$ . Remember that the area of a rectangle is width times length, so:
$A=x(x+13)$
$A=(x^2+13x)ft^2$
Since the cost of installing ties is $1, the cost of installing ties in our rectangle will be x^2+13x dollars.

<span>Stacy can spend no more than $536 on this project, so we can setup an inequality relating the cost of the pound and the cost of installing ties:
</span> $70.12+x^2+13x \leq 536$
$x^2+13x \leq 465.88$

We can conclude that the inequality that can be used to fin the width, $x$ , of the patio is $x^2+13x \leq 465.88$
