The widths of the bars are equal to ensure that numbers aren't represented improperly. If a bar was wider than another that was the same height, it could be misinterpreted as being larger.
You cannot find the answer to 4x+120 without knowing x, otherwise it is simplified as far as it can be
U.S customary system also known as the English system.
Founded by the British, but they dropped it. Now only three countries in the world still use this system.
Answer:
<h3>See explanations below</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Given the recursive function An=an-1 + 3 when a1 = 5, we are to find the first four terms;
First term a1 = 5
a2 = a1 +3
a2 = 5 + 3
a2 = 8
a3 = a2 + 3
a3 = 8+3
a3 = 11
a4 = a3 + 3
a4 = 11 + 3
a4 = 14
<em>The first four terms are 5, 8, 11 and 14</em>
<em></em>
<em>2) </em>For the recursive function An=an-1 + 2/3 when a1 = 1
a2 = a1 + 2/3
a2 = 1 + 2/3
a2 = 5/3
a3 = a2 + 2/3
a3 = 5/3 + 2/3
a3 = 7/3
a4 = a3 + 2/3
a4 = 7/3 + 2/3
a4 = 9/3
a4 = 3
<em>Hence the first four terms of the sequence are 2/3, 5/3, 7/3, 3</em>
<em></em>
3) For the recursive function An=an-1 + 12 when a1=30
a2 = a1 + 12
a2 = 30 + 12
a2 = 42
a3 = a2 +12
a3 = 42 + 12
a3 = 54
a4 = a3 + 12
a4 = 54+12
a4 = 66
<em>Hence the first four terms of the sequence are 30, 42, 54, 66</em>
