Answer:

Option 4 is correct.


Step-by-step explanation

Here the first term is 8 so  the first term is given by f(1) = 8

Since here the  given series is arithmetic series and here common difference is given by 5-8 = -3

Recurrence relation is given by f(n+1) - f(n) =  d

                                        where d is common difference which is given  to be  -3 .

therefore  it is given as

   f(n+1) -f(n) = -3

         f(n+1) = f(n) -3      [ adding f(n) both sides]

Since n is starting from 1 there for   its fourth option is correct

f(1) =8 and , f(n+1) = f(n) -3 ) , for n ≥1

Answer:

Choice D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a arithematic sequence.

8,5,2,-1

We have to find a recurrence relation for given sequence.

The formula for common difference of arithematic sequence is:

f(n+1)-f(n) = d where f(n) and f(n+1) are consecutive terms and d is common difference between consecutive terms.

In given sequence,

f(1) = 8 and f(2) = 5

d = -3

putting the value of d in above formula , we have

f(n+1)-f(n) = -3

Adding f(n) to both sides of above equation, we have

f(n+1)-f(n)+f(n) = f(n)-3

f(n+1) = f(n)-3

since given that n = 1

f(n+1) = f(n)-3   ; for n ≥ 1   which is the answer.

Aaron found rhe length of the diagonal of a rectangle to be an irrational number. What could be the lenght of the diagonal
Amanda [17]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

It could be a positive square root l like √10  ( the number not being a perfect square).

He would have obtained this value from the application of the Pythagoras theorem. For example the length and width of the rectangle might have been 3 and 1 foot respectively, so the diagonal would have length  √(3^2 + 1^2) = √10.

He could give an estimate of the length to nearest hundredth using his calculator. This would be 3.16 feet.

lesya [120]

Answer:

3.53 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let third day be X:

Second day: X - 0.98

First day: X - 0.98 + 1.37 = X + 0.39

X + X - 0.98 + X + 0.39 = 10

3X = 10.59

X = 3.53 kn
