Answer:
3) 
, 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the explicit rule for a sequence is 
.
Now we need to find about what is the recursive rule for the sequence and match with the given choices to find the correct choice.
1) 
,
2) 
, 
3) ,
4) 
,
Plug n=1 into given formula to get first term
base of the exponent part is (-2) so that means we need to multiply -2 to the previous term to get nth term
Hence correct choice is: 3) ,
Answer:
It was difficult reading the question, as written. Check my assumptions.
Step-by-step explanation:
"five more than the product of two and a number,
decreased by seven"
---
Let the "number" be a.
We are told "five more than . ." means +5,
"the product of two and a number" means 2a,
"decreased by seven" mean -7
Put the statements together to obtain:
+5+2a-7
Simplify to 2a-2
Evaluate when a = 8:
2a-2
2(8)-2
16-2
= 14
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
9a - 8 = 2a - 2b
7a - 8 = -2b
7a = 8 - 2b
a = (8 - 2b)/7
