3 inches in 6 hours = ___ inches in 1 hour
Set up a proportion then cross multiply to solve.
(3/6) = (x/1)
6x=3
Divide both sides by 6
x = 3/6 = 1/2
1/2 inch per hour

The recursive function LaTeX: f\left(0\right)=1,\:f\left(n\right)=f\left(n-1\right)+2nf ( 0 ) = 1 , f ( n ) = f ( n − 1 ) + 2 n

Question:

The recursive function $f(0) = 1$ , $f(n) = f(n-1) + 2n$ represents the nth term of a sequence. Determine the explicit function

Answer:

$f(n) = n^2 + n+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(0) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) + 2n$

Required

Write an explicit formula

Let n = 1

$f(1) = f(1-1) + 2*1$

$f(1) = f(0) + 2$

$f(1) = 1 + 2 = 3$

Let n = 2

$f(2) = f(2-1) + 2*2$

$f(2) = f(1) + 4$

$f(2) = 3 + 4 = 7$

Let n =3

$f(3)=f(3-1) + 2 * 3$

$f(3)=f(2) + 6$

$f(3)=7+ 6 = 13$

Let n = 4

$f(4) = f(4 - 1) + 2 * 4$

$f(4) = f(3) + 8$

$f(4) = 13+ 8 = 21$

So, we have:

$f(1) = 3= 1 + 2 * 1=1+0*1*2*1$

$f(2) = 7= 3 + 2 * 2=1+1*2+2*2$

$f(3) = 13= 7 + 2 * 3= 1+2*3+2*3$

$f(4) = 21 = 13 + 2 * 4= 1+3*4 +2 *4$

Following the above pattern:

$f(n) = 1 + (n - 1) * n + 2 * n$

$f(n) = 1 + n(n - 1) + 2n$

Open bracket

$f(n) = 1 + n^2 - n + 2n$

$f(n) = 1 + n^2 + n$

$f(n) = n^2 + n+1$

It takes Matt 3 minutes to read one page in a book. If he continues to read at the same pace, he can read 15 similar pages in mi

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

a)45min

b)900min

Step-by-step explanation:

We were told that it takes Matt 3 minutes to read one page in a book.

It implies that 3minutes = 1page of the book

Then he continues to read at the same pace, he can read 15 similar pages in minutes.

a)Then, he can read 15 similar pages in

15x3 minutes.which is 45minutes.

b)Then if the book has 300 pages, it will take him. 300×3 minutes to read it.which is 900mins
