Which sequence follows the rule an =an–1 + 7?
1 answer:
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
using the rule : =
+ 7
sequence A with a₁ = 11
a₂ = a₁ + 7 = 11 + 7 = 18
a₃ = a₂ + 7 = 18 + 7 = 25
a₄ = a₃ + 7 = 25 + 7 = 32
sequence A is generated using the rule
sequence B with a₁ = 17
a₂ = a₁ + 7 = 17 + 7 = 24
a₃ = a₂ + 7 = 24 + 7 = 31
a₄ = a₃ + 7 = 31 + 7 = 38
sequence B is not generated using the rule
sequence C with a₁ = - 15
a₂ = - 15 + 7 = - 8
a₃ = a₂ + 7 = - 8 + 7 = - 1
a₄ = a₃ + 7 = - 1 + 7 = 6
sequence C is not generated using the rule
sequence D with a₁ = - 9
a₂ = a₁ + 7 = - 9 + 7 = - 2
a₃ = a₂ + 7 = - 2 + 7 = 5
a₄ = a₃ + 7 = 5 + 7 = 12
sequence D is not generated using the rule

Answer:
Option (C) and (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given piecewise function is,
f(x) = 2x, x < 1
5, x = 1
, x > 1
Option (A),
x = 5 means x > 1
So the function will be,
f(x) =
f(5) = (5)²
= 25
Therefore, f(5) = 1 is not correct.
Option (B),
x = -2 means x < 1
f(x) = 2x will be applicable.
f(-2) = 2(-2) = -4
Therefore, f(-2) = 4 is not correct.
Option (C)
For x = 1,
f(1) = 5
Therefore, f(1) = 5 is the correct option.
Option (D)
x = 2 means x > 1 and the function defined will be,
f(x) = x²
f(2) = 2²
= 4
Therefore, f(2) = 4 will be the correct option.
Options (C) and (D) will be the answer.
