Here is a function rule that produces an output of 7 for an input of 1.6
f(x) = x + 5.4
when x = 1.6, f(x) = 1.6 + 5.4 = 7
Answer:
about 7.6 days long
Step-by-step explanation:
42 divided by 5.52 = about 7.6
The first term of this series (a+1) is 1 and the common ratio (r) is -3.
Thus, the explicit formula is a_n = 1*(-3)^(n-1).
Must check this! suppose we try to calculate the 3rd term. Then n = 3.
a_3 = 1*(-3)^(3-1) = (-3)^2 = 9. This is correct.
