Answer:
1) 36
b) 5
c) 3.0
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The recursive formula that defines the given sequence is

That means we keep adding 4 to the subsequent terms:
The sequence will be:
12,16,20,24,28,32,36,...
Therefore the seventh term is 36.
2) The sequence is recursively defined by;

This means, we have to keep subtracting 5 from the subsequent terms.
The sequence will be;
20,15,10,5,...
Therefore the fourth term is 5
3) The sequence is recursively defined by:
f(n+1)=f(n)+0.5
where f(1)=-1.5
This means that, the subsequent terms can be found by adding 0.5 to the previous terms.
The sequence will be:
-1.5,-1.0,-0.5,0,0.5,1,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,....
Therefore f(10)=3.0
Answer:
l and n are parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
360° around a point
65° x 2 = 130
360 - 130 = 230
230/2 = 115
115 ° are corresponding angles
For the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ..., the explicit formula is: an = a1 ! rn"1 = 2 ! 3n"1 , and the recursive formula is: a1 = 2, an+1 = an ! 3 . In each case, successively replacing n by 1, 2, 3, ... will yield the terms of the sequence. See the examples below.
Divide both sides by -3, and replace
with
. Then

Factorize the quadratic in
to get

which in turn means

But
for all real
, so we can ignore the first solution. This leaves us with

If we allow for any complex solution, then we can continue with the solution we ignored:
