Answer:
A) a_n = 5n + 2
B) a_n = (2^(n + 1)) - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
A) The sequence is given as;
{7,12,17,22,27,...}
The differences are:
5,5,5,5.
This is an arithmetic sequence following the formula;
a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d
d is 5
Thus;
a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)5
Now, a_1 = 7. Thus;
a_n = 7 + 5n - 5
a_n = 5n + 2
B) The sequence is given as;
{ 3,7,15,31,63,...}
Now, let's write out the differences of this sequence:
Differences are:
4, 8, 16, 32
This shows that it is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2.
In the given sequence, a_1 = 3 and a_2 = 7 and a_3 = 15
Thus, a_2 = 2a_1 + 1
Also, a_(2 + 1) = 2a_2 + 1
Combining both equations, we can deduce that: a_(n + 1) = 2a_n + 1
Thus; a_n can be expressed as:
a_n = (2^(n + 1)) - 1
Answer:
1. The car is slowing down at a rate of 2.5mph/s
2. The greatest acceleration is 10 mph/s.
3. In the interval 4s to 16s the speed remains constant and has magnitude 25 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The deceleration of the car is from 16 seconds to 24 seconds is the slope 
of the graph from 16 to 24:
the negative sign indicates that it is deceleration.
2. The automobile experiences the greatest change in speed when the slope is greatest because that is when acceleration/deceleration is greatest.
From the graph we see that the greatest slope of the graph is between 28 and 24 seconds. The acceleration the interval is the slope :
3. The automobile experiences no acceleration in the interval 4 s to 16 s—that's the graph is flat.
The speed of the automobile in that interval, as we see from the graph, is 25 mph.
*im sorry but I cant see the bottom number but I'll consider it as x
tan 45° = 3/x
x = 3/tan45
x is 3
hope this helps :)
It’s 60! i had that and got it correct. hope this helps :)
Note that fiona cannot sell decimal number of cupcakes or muffins. That's why the options A and D are false.
Consider all remaining options:
B. 40 cupcakes and 80 muffins will cost $(40·3+80·2)=$(120+160)=$280, but Fiona Follies sold at least $300 worth of cupcakes and muffins. Thus, this option is false.
C. 60 cupcakes and 70 muffins will cost $(60·3+70·2)=$(180+140)=$320. Now consider expenses. $(60·0.75+70·0.5)=$(45+35)=$80. This option is true.
E. 80 cupcakes and 80 muffins will cost $(80·3+80·2)=$(240+160)=$400. Now consider expenses. $(80·0.75+80·0.5)=$(60+40)=$100 (exactly $100). This option is true.
Answer: correct options are C and E.
