Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The recursive rule is given by;
a = r .an-1 where n is the number of terms.
Given the sequence: -64, -16, -4 , -1, ....
This sequence is a geometric sequence with common ratio (r) = 1/4
Here, first term a1 = -64
Since,
\frac{-16}{-64} = \frac{1}{4}
\frac{-4}{-16} = \frac{1}{4} and so on....
The recursive rule for this sequence is;
an = 1/4*an-1
Answer:
84 (nearest whole number)
Step-by-step explanation:
If x = 10,
Longest leg = (7 x 10) + 4 = 74
Shortest leg = 4 x 10 = 40
Using Pythagoras' Theorem a² + b² = c² (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle):
⇒ 74² + 40² = c²
⇒ 7076 = c²
⇒ c = √7076 = 84.11896...
⇒ hypotenuse = 84 (nearest whole number)
Answer:
y/x = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
y ∝ x
change ∝ to = by adding constant k or c
y = kx
Divide both sides by x
y/x = k, also k = y/x
Input the values
k = (7 1/2)/3. Change 7 1/2 to improper fraction to give 15/2
k = (15/2)/3
k = 
÷ 3
Change the division sign to multiplication which will change 3 to its inverse(1/3)
k = × 
k = 
Divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 5/2
k = 5/2
From y/x = k,input k into the eqn
y/x = 5/2
y/x = 2.5
Answer:
The number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
certain positive number: x
x is multipled by 4:
4x
result of this is subtracted from the original number:
so original number minus 4x,
x - 4x
the result is 21 less than 0, this means negative 21
x - 4x = 0 - 21 = -21
do algebra:
-3x = -21
multiply both sides by -1
3x = 21
divide both sides by 3
x=7
(certain positive number: x) is equal to 7
