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

Answer:

the answers for those are number 4 is 150 and 5 is 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

number 4     500 x 30= 15,000

15,000 ÷ 100= 150

number 5   80 x 100=8,000

8,000÷ 500= 16 so 16%

A hiker is climbing down a valley. He stops for a water break 4 times. Between each break, he descends 15 meters. How many meter
Murljashka [212]

The word in the problem that indicates that a negative sign should be used is "descend"

<h3></h3><h3>How many meters did he descend?</h3>

We know that he stops for water breaks four times, and between each water break, he descends 15 meters.

The written equation is:

4*(-15)m = -60m

Why the negative sign is used?

The negative sign is used because the hiker is descending, so its height is decreasing. The word in the problem that indicates that a negative sign should be used is "descend"

What is the area of the triangle?<br> 10 km<br> 10 km<br> square kilometers
MrMuchimi
The answer is 50 because the formula for the area of a triangle is base x hight x 1/2. So if we plug both the 10s into the formula you get 10x10 which = 100 then divide that by 2 and you get 50. Hope it helps :)

Solve for the missing side in the following right triangle: hypotenuse = 17, leg = 8, leg = ?.
krek1111 [17]
Hyp^2 = leg1^2 + leg2^2
hyp^2  -leg1^2 = leg2^2
17^2 - 8^2 = leg2^2
leg2^2 = 289 -64
leg2^2 = 225
leg2 = 15
