The recursive formula would be:
a_1=10
\\a_{n}=a_{n-1} \times (-8)

This is because the first term, a₁, is 10.  A recursive rule is dependent upon the term before it (a(n-1)) and the common ratio.  The common ratio, or the number that each term is multiplied by, is -8.

Answer:

The value is:

a(1)=10   and   a(n)=(-8)×a(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a sequence as:

10, -80 , 640 , -5120 ,.........

since by looking at the sequence we could see that it is a geometric progression (G.P.) with common ratio -8.

Also a(1) denotes the first term of the sequence and a(n) denotes the nth term of the sequence.

a(1)=10

Also a(n)=(-8)×a(n-1)

since a(1)=10

a(2)=(-8)×10=-80

a(3)=(-8)×(-80)=640

a(4)=(-8)×640=-5120

and so on.

Hence the answer is:

a(1)=10   and   a(n)=(-8)×a(n-1)

A statue in the park is 24 feet tall and has a width of 36 inches. Chase was in
NeTakaya

Answer:

<u>22.33 feet tall / 267.96 inches tall</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The statue is 36 inches wide. If Chase made his model of the statue 16 inches wide, he decreased it by 20 inches. Now change the inches into feet. 36 inches would be 3 feet, 16 inches would be 1.33 feet and 20 inches would be 1.67 feet. <u>24ft - 1.67 = 22.33ft.</u> Now change the answers to inches.  22.33ft will be 267.96 inches tall.

Is the graph a linear function, nonlinear function, or Relation ( non-function) ?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Because each value of x maps onto only one value of y, it is a function.

However, because it is not the graph of a line, it is a nonlinear function.
