Answer:

no, it cannot

Step-by-step explanation:

a difference of square is: a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

looking at the expression (5z+3)(-5z-3), we see that it does not fit the criteria of the breakdown of a perfect square, as (-5z-3) has a negative a term (-5z)

if we FOILed (5z+3)(-5z-3) out, we would get:

-25z² - 30z - 9, which is not a difference of squares

Sung Lee invests $5,000 at age 18. He hopes the investment will be worth $20,000 when he turns 25. If the interest compounds con

Temka [501]

Answer:

19.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following formula for continuous compound interest:

A = P * e ^ (i * t)

Where:

A is the final value

P is the initial investment

i is the interest rate in decimal

t is time.

The time can be calculated as follows:

25 - 18 = 7

That is, the time corresponds to 7 years. In addition, A is 20,000 for A and P would be 5,000, we replace:

20000 = 5000 * e ^ (7 * i)

20000/5000 = e ^ (7 * i)

e ^ (7 * i) = 4

ln e ^ (7 * i) = ln 4

7 * i = ln 4

i = (ln 4) / 7

i = 0.198

Which means that the rounded percentage will be 19.8% per year

A playground is being designed where children can interact with their friends in certain combinations. If there is 1 child, ther

mariarad [96]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In the question,

The number of interaction for 1 child = 0

Number of interactions for 2 children = 1

Number of interactions for 3 children = 5

Number of interaction for 4 children = 14

So,

We need to find out the pattern for the recursive equation for the given conditions.

So,

We see that,

$a_{1}=0\\a_{2}=1\\a_{3}=5\\a_{4}=14\\$

Therefore, on checking, we observe that,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$

On checking the equation at the given values of 'n' of, 1, 2, 3 and 4.

At,

n = 1

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{1}=a_{1-1}+(1-1)^{2}\\a_{1}=0+0=0\\a_{1}=0$

which is true.

At,

n = 2

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{2}=a_{2-1}+(2-1)^{2}\\a_{2}=a_{1}+1\\a_{2}=1$

Which is also true.

At,

n = 3

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{3}=a_{3-1}+(3-1)^{2}\\a_{3}=a_{2}+4\\a_{3}=5$

Which is true.

At,

n = 4

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{4}=a_{4-1}+(4-1)^{2}\\a_{4}=a_{3}+9\\a_{4}=14$

This is also true at the given value of 'n'.

Therefore, the recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$
