I need help on these three questions I’m so confused on how to answer them
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

  1.  S(1) = 1; S(n) = S(n-1) +n^2

  2. see attached

  3. neither

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The first step shows 1 square, so the first part of the recursive definition is ...

  S(1) = 1

Each successive step has n^2 squares added to the number in the previous step. So, that part of the recursive definition is ...

  S(n) = S(n-1) +n^2

__

2. See the attachment for a graph.

__

3. The recursive relation for an arithmetic function is of the form ...

  S(n) = S(n-1) +k . . . . . for k = some constant

The recursive relation for a geometric function is of the form ...

  S(n) = k·S(n-1) . . . . . . for k = some constant

The above recursive relation is not in either of these forms, so it is neither geometric nor arithmetic.

Y = x^2+5x-3<br> y-x=2<br><br> What is the solution of the linear-quadratic system of equations
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

(-5,-3)

(1,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving with substitution

Set both equations to y =  ...

y = x^2 + 5x - 3

----------------

y - x =2

y = x + 2

----------------

Substitute one of the Y's with the other Y = equation.

x + 2 = x ^2 + 5x -3

Set one side to 0

0 = x^2 + 4x -5

x^2 + 4x - 5 = 0

Simplify by factoring

(x-1) (x+5)

Get your X values

x-1 = 0

x = 1

x+5 = 0

x = -5

Plug in each X into one of the equations to get your Y value.

1st X

y = x + 2

y = 1 + 2

y = 3

When X = 1, Y = 3

2nd X

y = x + 2

y = -5 + 2

y = -3

When X = - 5, Y = -3

Your answers are (1,3) and (-5,-3)

How to solve x=5 grafting
iVinArrow [24]
So this one is pretty easy actually when x= a number you automatically know it'll be a vertical line cutting through the x axis. So for this problem (x=5) the line will be vertical and cut through the x axis. Hope this helps!
