A car starts a journey with a full tank of gas. The equation y=16 - 0.05x relates the number of gallons of gas, y, left in the t

ank to the number of miles the car has traveled, x.

A. The y-intercept is y = −0.05 x + 16 and the x-intercept is x = −20y + 320

B. The x-intercept represents the number of miles the car has traveled.

C. The y-intercept represents the number of gas in gallons.

Solve the following recurrence relation: <br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A_%7Bn%7D%3Da_%7Bn-1%7D%2Bn%3B%20a_%7B1%7D%20%3D

-Dominant- [34]

By iteratively substituting, we have

$a_n = a_{n-1} + n$

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

$a_{n-2} = a_{n-3} + (n - 2) \implies a_n = a_{n-3} + n + (n - 1) + (n - 2)$

and the pattern continues down to the first term $a_1=0$ ,

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

$\implies a_n = a_1 + \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n-2} (n - k)$

$\implies a_n = \displaystyle n \sum_{k=0}^{n-2} 1 - \sum_{k=0}^{n-2} k$

Recall the formulas

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^N 1 = N$

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^N n = \frac{N(N+1)}2$

It follows that

$a_n = n (n - 2) - \dfrac{(n-2)(n-1)}2$

$\implies a_n = \dfrac12 n^2 + \dfrac12 n - 1$

$\implies \boxed{a_n = \dfrac{(n+2)(n-1)}2}$

Find the relative rate of change fro each of the following functions. f(x)=x^3 -3x^2

Reika [66]

The rate of change is simply the derivative of a function with respect to the other variable. In this case the rate of change with respect to x is desired. Therefore

f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2
f'(x) = 3x^2 - 6x

therefore the rate of change of y with respect to x is dy/dx = 3x^2 - 6x

What is 2 = 8 − 6/4x solved?

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

$x=4$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

<u /> $2=8-\frac{6}{4} x$ <u />

<u />

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

Subtract 8 on both sides: $-6=-\frac{6}{4} x$
Divide both sides by -6/4: $4=x$
Rewrite: $x=4$

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

Substitute: $2=8-\frac{6}{4}(4)$
Multiply: $2=8-6$
Subtract: $2=2$
