Answer:

C.

f_n = \left \{ {{f_1=20} \atop {f_n=f_{(n-1)} + 8}; n>1} \right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sequence: 20, 28, 36, 44,

Required

Find the recursive formula

Let f_1 represents the first term

f_1 = 20

Representing the other terms in terms of the previous terms

f_2 = 28\\f_2 = 20 +8\\f_2 = f_1 + 8

f_3 = 36\\f_3 = 28 + 8\\f_3 = f_2 + 8

f_4 = 44\\f_4 = 36 + 8\\f_4 = f_3 + 8

Bringing them together, we have

f_1 = 20\\f_2 = f_1 + 8\\f_3 = f_2 + 8\\f_4 = f_3 + 8

f_1 = 20\\f_2 = f_{2-1} + 8\\f_3 = f_{3-1} + 8\\f_4 = f_{4-1} + 8

Replace each term with n

f_1 = 20\\f_n = f_{n-1} + 8\\f_n = f_{n-1} + 8\\f_n = f_{n-1} + 8\\Where\\n > 1

Delete repetition

f_1 = 20\\f_n = f_{n-1} + 8\\Where\\n > 1

So, the recursive formula is:

f_n = \left \{ {{f_1=20} \atop {f_n=f_{(n-1)} + 8}; n>1} \right.

Answer:

It is not valid since there is more than one variable being changed at one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jackson changed the brand of soil, but he also changes the amount of water, and the amount of sunlight the plants are receiving, so his conclusion that the soil was more effective is not valid.

How many sides does a regular polygon have if each exterior angle measures 30 degree
Nataly [62]
As the exterior angles always add up to 360, you can find the number of sides by dividing 360 by the measure of your exterior angle, 30. This gives you 360/30=12, meaning your polygon has 12 sides.

Find the solution to the system of linear equations y = 5x + 4 and y = −3x + 12 using the intersection method. Check your answer
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The solution to the system of linear equations is (1,9).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of linear equations

y=5x+4            ... (1)

y=-3x+12           .... (2)

Subtract equation (2) from equation (1) to eliminate y.

y-y=(5x+4)-(-3x+12)

0=5x+4+3x-12

On combining like terms, we get

0=(5x+3x)+(4-12)

0=8x-8

Add 8 on both sides.

0+8=8x-8+8

8=8x

Divide both sides by 8.

1=x

The value of x is 1.

Substitute x=1 in equation (1).

y=5(1)+4

y=5+4

y=9

The value of y is 9.

Therefore the solution to the system of linear equations is (1,9).
