Answer:

a_n = a_{n-1} \cdot (-\frac{1}{3})

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for the geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}

where,

a_1 is the first term

r is the common ratio to the following terms.

As per the statement:

Given the explicit formula for geometric sequence:

a_n = 9 \cdot (\frac{-1}{3})^{n-1}

On comparing with [1] we have;

a_1 = 9 and r = -\frac{1}{3}

The recursive formula for geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = a_{n-1} \cdot r

Substitute the given values we have;

a_n = a_{n-1} \cdot (-\frac{1}{3})

Therefore, the recursive formula for the geometric sequence is, a_n = a_{n-1} \cdot (-\frac{1}{3})

Answer:

a_0 = -27

a_n = a_(n-1) * (-1/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

First evaluate given formula at n=0 and specify that as starting value

Then find how to get from n-1 to n by comparing two values. In this case the next value is formed by multiplying by -1/3.

State the domain and the range of each relation. Then determine whether the relation is a function.
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Domain:{-6,3,4}

Range:{-2,5,6,23}

The relation is not a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, a relation is a function if each input value has only one output value.

Given the relation:

(4,23)

(3,-2)

(-6,5)

(4,6)

The domain is the set of the x-coordinates of each ordered pair (You do not need to write 4 twice):

Domain:{-6,3,4}

The range is the set of the y-coordinates of each ordered pair :

 Range:{-2,5,6,23}

Since the input value 4 has two different output values (23 and 6), the relation is not a function.

A bag contains 5 yellow marbles and 10 blue marbles. If a representative sample contains 2 yellow ​marbles, then how many blue m
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

There will be 4 blue marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Yellow to blue marbles is in a ratio of:

5:10

the representative sample is:

2:x

simplee cross multiplication can be aplied

5x = 2*10

5x = 20

divide both sides by 5

x = 4

there should be four blue marbles
