Answer:
The first four terms of the above sequence are 1, 6, 11, 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
A sequence is defined by the function f(n)=f(n-1)+5.
Where n represents the number of the term for n>1
First Put n = 2
f(2)=f(2-1)+5.
= f (1) + 5
= -4 + 5
= 1
Second Put n = 3
f(3)=f(3-1)+5.
= f (2) + 5
= 1 + 5
= 6
Third Put n = 4
f(4)=f(4-1)+5.
= f (3) + 5
= 6+ 5
= 11
Second Put n = 5
f(5)=f(5-1)+5.
= f (4) + 5
= 11 + 5
= 16
Therefore the first four terms of the above sequence are 1, 6, 11, 16.
Speed of the plane: 250 mph
Speed of the wind: 50 mph
Explanation:
Let p = the speed of the plane
and w = the speed of the wind
It takes the plane 3 hours to go 600 miles when against the headwind and 2 hours to go 600 miles with the headwind. So we set up a system of equations.

p
+
w
Solving for the left sides we get:
200mph = p - w
300mph = p + w
Now solve for one variable in either equation. I'll solve for x in the first equation:
200mph = p - w
Add w to both sides:
p = 200mph + w
Now we can substitute the x that we found in the first equation into the second equation so we can solve for w:
300mph = (200mph + w) + w
Combine like terms:
300mph = 200mph + 2w
Subtract 200mph on both sides:
100mph = 2w
Divide by 2:
50mph = w
So the speed of the wind is 50mph.
Now plug the value we just found back in to either equation to find the speed of the plane, I'll plug it into the first equation:
200mph = p - 50mph
Add 50mph on both sides:
250mph = p
So the speed of the plane in still air is 250mph.
Input is 4.
Process machine:
Input > - 7 > ÷ 3 > Output
Solve:
(Input) 4 - 7 = <u>-3</u>
<u>-3</u> ÷ 3 = <u>-1 </u>(Output)
Input = 4
Output = -1
Distance = 30 mph * time
distance = 4 mph * time
distance = 30 mph * t
distance = 4 mph * (17-t)
Since distance is equal then
30 mph * t = 4 mph * (17-t)
30t = -4t + 68
34t = 68
t = 2 hours
We see the return trip time is (17 -t ) which is 15 hours.
The beginning trip time is 2 hours.
Double Check
Beginning trip = 30 miles * 2 = 60 miles
Return trip = 4 miles * 15 = 60 miles.
