Answer:

5, 7, 11, 19, 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive formula and a₁ = 5 , then

a₂ = 2a₁ - 3 = (2 × 5) - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7

a₃ = 2a₂ - 3 = (2 × 7) - 3 = 14 - 3 = 11

a₄ = 2a₃ - 3 = (2 × 11) - 3 = 22 - 3 = 19

a₅ = 2a₄ - 3 = (2 × 19) - 3 = 38 - 3 = 35

Thus the first 5 terms are

5, 7, 11, 19, 35

A = 2 all you gotta do is 7 x 2 which is 14 and add 5 to it which equals 19

Consider the function below. g(x) = 4x − 1 Find the difference quotient below (where h ≠ 0) and simplify your answer. g(x + h) −

eimsori [14]

Answer:

The difference quotient is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$g(x) = 4x - 1$

To find:

Difference quotient = ?

where $h \neq 0$

Solution:

Formula for Difference quotient is given as:

$\dfrac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h}$

First of all, let us find out $g(x+h)$

Replacing $x$ with $x+h$

$g(x+h) = 4(x+h)-1 \\\Rightarrow g(x+h) = 4x+4h-1$

Now,

$g(x+h)-g(x) = (4x+4h-1 )-(4x-1)\\\Rightarrow g(x+h)-g(x) = 4x+4h-1 -4x+1\\\Rightarrow g(x+h)-g(x) = 4h$

Putting the above value in:

$\dfrac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h} = \dfrac{4h}{h}$

We are given that, $h \neq 0$

$\therefore \dfrac{4h}{h} = 4$

So, the difference quotient is 4.

How do you think you could represent the number 2,300 as a number times a multiple of 10? How do you think you could represent t

iren [92.7K]

Well this question is actually a piece of cake. Just pick your favorite number. Multiply it by 10. Then do whatever operation you want with the 2,300. For the exponent part of this. Lets say we do it this way y times z equals 2,300. Exponents are letters used in mathematical terms. So any letter can be used to represent any number.
