Answer:
a7 = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are to use the recursive formula to calculate the 7th term( we add the preceding term to 4 so as to get the succeeding term)
a1 = 12
using the recursive formula given in the question
a2 = 12 + 4 = 16
a3 = 16 + 4 = 20
a4 = 20 + 4 = 24
a5 = 24 + 4 = 28
a6 = 28 + 4 = 32
a7 = 32 + 4 = 36
52? ahh thats what im thinking. Maybe wait for someone elses answer
So it's actually 0.36363636... with the 36 repeating, right?
<span>Here's a technique for converting repeating decimals to fractions: </span>
<span>N = 0.3636363636... </span>
<span>100N = 36.36363636... </span>
<span>This means 100N - N = (36.363636...) - (0.36363636...). This simplifies to 99N = 36, because the "0.36363636..." parts of both numbers on the right cancel each other out. </span>
<span>Solving this for N gives </span>
<span>N = 36/99, or 4/11 </span>
<span>If you take a calculator (or use long division) and divide 4 by 11, you'll see that it's 0.36363636...</span>
