<h3>Answer: 31</h3>

=======================================

Work Shown:

Use the value of a0 to find the value of a1. The idea is you double the previous value, and then add 1.

a_{n+1} = 2*(a_n) + 1\\\\a_{0+1} = 2*(a_0) + 1\\\\a_{1} = 2*(1) + 1\\\\a_{1} = 3\\\\

Which is then used to find the value of a2. Follow the same process as before (double the previous value and then add 1).

a_{n+1} = 2*(a_n) + 1\\\\a_{1+1} = 2*(a_1) + 1\\\\a_{2} = 2*(3) + 1\\\\a_{2} = 7\\\\

This is used to find a3

a_{n+1} = 2*(a_n) + 1\\\\a_{2+1} = 2*(a_2) + 1\\\\a_{3} = 2*(7) + 1\\\\a_{3} = 15\\\\

Finally we can now find a4

a_{n+1} = 2*(a_n) + 1\\\\a_{3+1} = 2*(a_3) + 1\\\\a_{4} = 2*(15) + 1\\\\a_{4} = 31\\\\

Recursive sequences like this aren't too bad if n is small, but as n gets larger, things become more tedious. For those cases, its best to try to find a closed form equation. If not, then the next best thing is using a spreadsheet to automate the process.

Inscribe a circle in a unit square and to r= 1000 random.
Oduvanchick [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

area of square = 1

area of a circle in square = \pi r^2 = \pi *(1/2)^2 = \frac{\pi }{4}

bu estimate  p^ = X/n = 760/1000 = 0.76Therefore, &#10;[tex]\frac{\pi }{4} \approx 0.76

\pi \approx 0.76*4 =3.04

b) if n tend to infinity

\pi will approach 3.14

Solve these equation<br><br>4(3-x)=(1-2x)​
serg [7]

To attempt this algebraic equation we will be multiplying 4 to (3 - x) bracket so as to form the term on L.H.S.

:\implies\tt{4(3 - x) = (1 - 2x)}

:\implies\tt{(12 - 4x) = (1 - 2x)}

:\implies\tt{12 - 4x = 1 - 2x}

Combining like terms, we get,

:\implies\tt{12 - 1 =  - 2x + 4x}

:\implies\tt{11 = 2x}

:\implies\tt{2x = 11}

:\implies\tt{x =  \frac{11}{2} }

:\implies\tt{x = 5.5}

  • The value of x is 5.5

What is the solution of the inequality -6x-17≥8x+25
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
-6x -17> 8x + 25.
Get x on one side; Subtract 8x from both sides.
-14x -17 > 25.
Add 17 to both sides to get x by itself.
-14x>42.
Divide both sides by -14 (remember to flip the inequality when dividing by negatives).
x <_ 3 is your solution (line under the inequality).
I hope this helps!
