The recursive equation for t(n)=4.5n-8

Mathematics
1 answer:
dimulka [17.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

t(1) = -3.5, Recursive equation is t(n) = t(n-1) + 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

t(n)=4.5n-8

Let find the sequence

Plug in n=1,2,3,4.....

n=1      t(1)=4.5(1) -8= -3.5

n=2      t(2)=4.5(2) -8= 1

n=3      t(3)=4.5(3) -8= 5.5

n=4      t(4)=4.5(4) -8= 10

so sequence is -3.5, 1, 5.5, 10................

Now we find the common difference

1 - (-3.5) = 4.5

5.5-1 = 4.5

10 - 5.5 = 4.5

common difference d = 4.5

Formula for recursive function is

t(n) = t(n-1) + d

We got d= 4.5

t(n) = t(n-1) + 4.5 , also t(1) = -3.5

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description.
IrinaK [193]
\frac{-b+- \sqrt{b^{2} -4ac }  }{2a}
This is the solution of the equation, where a=1, b=-5, c=7

So the discriminant is : 
b^2-4ac=25-4*7= -3
The square root of -3 is non-real, this both solutions are non-real.

6. Solve the equation.<br> 2x - 3 = -4x - 9<br> A-1<br> B 6<br> C-6<br> DO
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3 = -4x - 9

Add 3 and 4x on both sides.

2x + 4x = -9+3

Add or subtract like terms.

6x = -6

Divide 6 into both sides.

6x/6=-6/6

x=-1

The solution to this equation is x=-1.

Debra bought 20 books. Debra bought 5 times as many books as Abdul. Let b be the number of books Adbul bought. Write an equation
Drupady [299]

Answer:

5b = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Abdul bought b books and Debra bought 5 times as many books as Abdul, then 5b represents the number of books Debra bought. Since we know that Debra bought 20 books, we can write an equation to represent that: 5b = 20.

(Abdul bought 4 books in that case)
