Find the exact circumference. <br><br> r = 6 mm, C = ?

Express the terms of the following sequence by giving a recursive formula.

emmasim [6.3K]

The recursive formula for given sequence is: $a_n = a_{n-1}-7$

And the terms will be expressed as:

$a_1 = 11\\a_2 = a_{2-1} - 7 \\a_2= a_1 - 7\\a_2 = 11- 7\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = a_{3-1} - 7 \\a_3= a_2 - 7\\a_3 = 4 - 7\\a_3 = -3\\a_4 = a_{4-1} - 7 \\a_4= a_3 - 7\\ a_4= -3 - 7\\a_4 = -10\\a_5 = a_{5-1} - 7 \\a_5= a_4 - 7\\a_5 = -10 - 7\\a_5 = -17\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we have to determine if the given sequence is arithmetic sequence or geometric. For that purpose, we calculate the common difference and common ratio

Given sequence is:

11,4,-3,-10,-17...

Here

$a_1 = 11\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = -3\\So,\\d = a_2 - a_1 = 4-11 = -7\\d = a_3-a_2 = -3-4 = -7$

As the common difference is same, given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

A recursive formula is a formula that is used to generate the next term of the sequence using the previous term and common difference

So, the recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_{n-1} +d\\Putting\ d = -7\\a_n = a_{n-1}-7$

Hence,

The recursive formula for given sequence is: $a_n = a_{n-1}-7$

And the terms will be expressed as:

$a_1 = 11\\a_2 = a_{2-1} - 7 \\a_2= a_1 - 7\\a_2 = 11- 7\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = a_{3-1} - 7 \\a_3= a_2 - 7\\a_3 = 4 - 7\\a_3 = -3\\a_4 = a_{4-1} - 7 \\a_4= a_3 - 7\\ a_4= -3 - 7\\a_4 = -10\\a_5 = a_{5-1} - 7 \\a_5= a_4 - 7\\a_5 = -10 - 7\\a_5 = -17\\$

choose all of the terms that describe the set of lines. transversal parallel lines perpendicular lines intersecting lines

Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. Perpendicular Lines

D. Intersecting Lines

Step-by-step explanation:

Intersecting lines are a pair of lines, line segments or rays are intersecting if they have a common point.

Perpendicular lines are a point where two city roads intersect.

Hope this helps. I am sorry if you get it wrong.

Solve the equation using the quadratic formula : x^2-10x+25=18

Sever21 [200]

$x^2-10x+25=18 \\ \\x^2-10x+25-18 = 0\\ \\ x^2-10x+ 7 =0 \\ \\a=1 , b = -10 , c= 7 \\ \\ \Delta = b^{2}-4ac = (-10)^{2}-4*1*7=100-28 = 72 \\ \\\sqrt{\Delta }=\sqrt{72}= \sqrt{2*36} =\sqrt{36}*\sqrt{2} =6\sqrt{2}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{10- 6\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{2(5-3\sqrt{2})}{2}= 5-3\sqrt{2}\\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{10+ 6\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{2(5+3\sqrt{2})}{2}= 5+3\sqrt{2}$

$Answer : \ x= 5-3\sqrt{2} \ \ or \ \ x = 5+3\sqrt{2}$
