Answer:
f(n)=-5-3n
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the recursive formula of a sequence
f(1)=−8
f(n)=f(n−1)−3
We are to determine an explicit formula for the sequence.
f(2)=f(2-1)-3
=f(1)-3
=-8-3
f(2)=-11
f(3)=f(3-1)-3
=f(2)-3
=-11-3
f(3)=-14
We write the first few terms of the sequence.
-8, -11, -14, ...
This is an arithmetic sequence where the:
First term, a= -8
Common difference, d=-11-(-8)=-11+8
d=-3
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is determined using the formula:
T(n)=a+(n-1)d
Substituting the derived values, we have:
T(n)=-8-3(n-1)
=-8-3n+3
T(n)=-5-3n
Therefore, the explicit formula for f(n) can be written as:
f(n)=-5-3n
9 inches, divide 108 by 12, because 12 inches makes a foot
First step: x= ± √ 121
Second step and correct answer: x= ± 11
Because: x^2 = x= ± √
Answer:
182
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum = a(r^n -1) ÷ r - 1
1(-3^6 - 1) ÷ -3 -1
= 182
r = t2 ÷ t1 * since they stated that it is geometric
