Here are some values of sequence Q. Write a recursive definition for the sequence.

Rashid [163]

Answer: Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 values of the sequence Q(n)

These values are:

Q(1) = 3

Q(3) = 8

Q(7) = 18

I would think that this is a geometric sequence.

Remember that the equation for the n-th term of a geometric sequence is:

A(n) = A(1)*r^(n-1)

where r is a constant, and A(1) is the first term of the sequence.

If we rewrite the terms that we know of Q(n) in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1)*r^(3 - 1) = 3*r^2 = 8

Q(7) = Q(1)*r^(7 - 1) = 3*r^6 = 18

Then we have two equations:

3*r^2 = 8

3*r^6 = 18

We should see if r is the same for both equations:

in the first one we get:

r^2 = 8/3

r = (8/3)^(1/2) = 1.63

and in the other equation we get:

r^6 = 18/3

r = (18/3)^(1/6) = 1.34

Then this is not a geometric sequence.

Now let's see if this is an arithmetic sequence.

The n-th term of an arithmetic sequence is written as:

A(n) = A(1) + (n - 1)*d

where d is a constant.

If we write the terms of Q(n) that we know in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1) + (3 - 1)*d = 3 + 2*d = 8

Q(7) = Q(1) + (7 - 1)*d = 3 + 6*d = 18

We need to see if d is the same value for both equations.

in the first one we get:

3 + 2*d = 8

2*d = 8 - 3 = 5

d = 5/2 = 2.5

In the second equation we get:

3 + 6*d = 18

6*d = 18 - 3 = 15

d = 15/6 = 2.5

d is the same for both terms, then this is an arithmetic sequence.

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between any two consecutive terms is always the same value (d)

Then the recursive relation is written as:

A(n) = A(n - 1) + d

Then the recursive relation for Q is:

Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5

Instructions:Select the correct answer. You’re given two side lengths of 10 centimeters and 8 centimeters. The angle between the

EleoNora [17]

Since we are given the lengths of 2 sides with the angle in between, therefore by cosine law we can only construct 1 triangle from this. By stating the angle in between, this constricts the possible number of triangles that can be formed into 1.

By calculation, the length of the 3rd side is calculated using cosine law:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2abcosθ

c^2 = 10^2 + 8^2 – 2(10)(8)cos40

c = 6.44 cm

1 triangle

In the first equation in the system of equations, y represents the money collected from selling sweatshirts. In the second equat

NeTakaya

Answer:

The solution x = 229.89 ≅ 230 (since we cannot have a decimal number of sweatshirts)implies that, the money collected from selling sweatshirts equals the money used in producing sweatshirts when 230 sweatshirts have been sold or produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

In the first equation in the system of equations, y represents the money collected from selling sweatshirts. in the second equation, y represents the money spent to produce x sweatshirts with team logos on them for a professional sports league.

y=35x; y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492

what does the solution of the system represent in this context?

Solution

The solution of the system is obtained when both equations are equal. That is y=35x = y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492 .

So, 35x = -0.05(x-400)² + 9,492.

Expanding the right side, we have

35x = -0.05(x² - 800x + 160000) + 9492

35x = -0.05x² -800x × -0.05 + (-0.05) × 160000 + 9492

35x = -0.05x² +40x - 8000 + 9492

35x = -0.05x² +40x + 1492

Collecting all the terms to the left side, we have

0.05x² - 40x - 1492 + 35x = 0

0.05x² - 5x -1492 = 0

Using the quadratic formula,

$x = \frac{-(-5) +/- \sqrt{(-5)^{2} - 4 X 0.05 X - 1492} }{2X0.05} = \frac{5 +/- \sqrt{25 + 298.4} }{0.1} = \frac{5 +/- \sqrt{323.4} }{0.1}\\= \frac{5 +/- 17.983 }{0.1}\\= \frac{5 - 17.983 }{0.1} or \frac{5 + 17.983 }{0.1}\\= \frac{-12.983 }{0.1} or \frac{22.983 }{0.1}\\= -129.83 or 229.83$

We choose the positive answer x = 229.83. Since we cannot have a decimal number of sweatshirts, we approximate to the nearest whole number. So, x = 229.83 ≅ 230 sweatshirts.

The solution implies that the money collected from selling sweatshirts equals the money used in producing sweatshirts when 230 sweatshirts have been sold or produced.

We confirm that by plugging in x = 229.83 in both equations.

y = 35x = 35(229.83) = 8044.05 ≅ 8044.1

y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(229.83-400)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(-170.17)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(28,957.8289)+9,492 = -1447.8914 + 9492 = 8044.11 ≅ 8044.1
