Answer:

The recursive formula defines the sequence is f(n)=f(n-1)+2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Three terms of an arithmetic sequence are

f(1) = 6

f(4) = 12

f(7) = 18

It means first term is 6, fourth term is 12 and seventh term is 18.

The formula for nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_n=a+(n-1)d

where n is number of term, a is first term and d is common difference.

4th term of the AP is

a_n=6+(4-1)d

12=6+3d                  [\because a_4=f(4)=12]

Subtract 6 from both sides.

12-6=3d

6=3d

Divide both sides by 3.

2=d

The common difference is 2.

The recursive formula for an AP is

a_n=a_{n-1}+d

Substitute d=2 in the above equation.

a_n=a_{n-1}+2

It can be written as

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

Therefore the recursive formula defines the sequence is f(n)=f(n-1)+2.

F(n) = 2(n+2)

can also be written as
f(n) = 2n + 4

20% of the spectators at a tennis match were women. 10% of them were girls, 30% are boys, and the remaining 3,600 spectators are
Finger [1]
So 100% - 20% - 10% - 30% = 40%
40% of people were men. It says that there were 3600 men and in order to find the total amount of people, do 3600/40% or 3600/.4
Which equals 9000

How many times greater was the temperature in Miami (45) than the lowest in San Diego (25)
Greeley [361]

Answer:

<em>The temperature in Miami is 9/5 times the temperature in San Diego.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Ratios</u>

To compare the temperature in Miami (45) with the temperature in San Diego (25), we use the division or ratio between both numbers:

\displaystyle \frac{45}{25}

Simplify the fraction dividing by 5:

\displaystyle \frac{9}{5}

Since the relation between them is 9/5, it means the temperature in Miami is 9/5 times the temperature in San Diego.
