Answer:
its -27/64
Step-by-step explanation:
42 - (-25) = 42 + 27 = 69
33 - (-77) = 33 + 77 = 110
44 + (-18) = 44 - 18 = 26
Explicit Formula
Just in case you don't know what this is, the explicit formula is the formula that solves for any term in the series without necessarily knowing what came before the term you are solving.
<em><u>Givens</u></em>
d = t_(n + 1) - t_n You can take any term and the next term for this part of the formula
d = t_3 - t_2
t_3 = 1
t_2 = -7
d = 1 - - 7 = 8
a = -15
<em><u>Formula</u></em>
t_n = a + (n - 1)*d
t_n = -15 + (n - 1)*8
For example find the 5th term.
t_5 = - 15 + (5 - 1)*8
t_5 = - 15 + 4 *8
t_5 = -15 + 32
t_5 = 17 Which is what you have.
Recursive Formula
Computers really like this formula. They use it in what is called a subroutine and they pass values from one part of the program to a subroutine which evaluates the given and sends the result back. I'm telling you all this so you see why you are doing it. The disadvantage of it for humans is that you must know the preceding term to use the recursive formula.
<em><u>Formula</u></em>
t_n = t_(n - 1) + d
<em><u>Example</u></em>
t_6 = t_(6 - 1) + d
t_6 = t_5 + 8
t_6 = 17 + 8
t_6 = 25
You can check this by using the explicit formula.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
We first have to understand the parts of a y=mx+b equation
y=mx+b
m: Is the slope
b: Is the y-intercept
x: is the x part of (x,y)
y: is the y part of(x,y)
So...
if we use an example ordered pair like (1,3)
and a slope of 2
We can plug everything into y=mx+b to get
1=2*3+b which simplifies to b= -5
Now, you can use this concept to fill in the blanks below:
Use the two ordered pairs to find the slope, (m).
Then substitute the slope, and (one set of ordered pairs) into y=mx+b to solve for (b).
Answer:
84 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Total pounds of popcorn bought = 64 pounds
1/4th kept for family ==> 1/4 * 64 = 16 lbs
Remainder = 64-16 = 48 lbs
1/8th of remainder to club ==> 1/8 * 48 = 6 lbs to club
Remainder left over = 48-6 = 42 lbs
Distributed 42 lbs between each of 8 friends equally
Each friend gets 42/8 lbs = (42/8) * 16 = 84 ounces
Since there are 16 ounces in a pound
