Answer:

The present age of the woman is 37 years and her daughter is 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

two years ago a woman was 7 times old as her daughter, but in 3 years time she would be 4 times old as the girl. how old are they now

Two years ago a woman wad 7 times as old as her daughter

Let her daughter=x-2

The woman=y-2

x-2

7(y-2)=7y-14

x-2=7y-14

x-7y=-14+2

x-7y= -12 (1)

but in 3 years time she would be 4 times as old as the girl.

x+3

y+3

x+3

4(y+3)=4y+12

x+3=4y+12

x-4y=12-3

x-4y=9. (2)

x-7y= -12 (1)

x-4y=9. (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

4y-(-7y)=9-(-12)

-4y+7y=9+12

3y=21

y=21/3

y=7

Substitute

y=7 into (1)

x-7y= -12

x-7(7)=-12

x-49=-12

x= -12+49

=37

The present age of the woman is 37 years and her daughter is 7 years

An arithmetic sequence is defined by the general term tn = -5 + (n - 1)78, where n ∈N and n ≥ 1. What is the recursive formula o
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In general for arithmetic sequences, recursive formulas are of the form

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d,

and the explicit formula (like tₙ in your problem), are of the form

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d,

where d is the common difference. So converting between the two of these isn't so bad. In this case, your problem wants you to have an idea of what t₁ is (well, every answer says it's -5, so there you are) and what tₙ₊₁ is. Using the formulas above and your given tₙ = -5 + (n - 1)78, we can see that the common difference is 78, so no matter what we get ourselves into, the constant being added on at the end should be 78. That automatically throws out answer choice D.

But to narrow it down between the rest of them, you want to use the general form for the recursive formula and substitute (n + 1) for every instance of n. This will let you find tₙ₊₁ to match the requirements of your answer choices. So

tₙ₊₁ = t₍ₙ₊₁₎₋₁ + d ... Simplify the subscript

tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + d

Therefore, your formula for tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + 78, which is answer choice C.

Find the area and the circumference of a circle with diameter 3 ft.
Zigmanuir [339]

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference of a circle

2×pi×r

area of a circle

pi×r²

r (radius) = diameter/2 = 1.5ft

we shall assume pi to be 3.14

circumference is

2×3.14×1.5 = 3.14×3 = 9.42 ft

area is

3.14 × 1.5² = 3.14×2.25 = 7.065 ft²
