Answer:
The explicit formula is Tn = 18[(2/3)^(n-1)]
Where n is the term we are looking for
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to get an explicit formula to model the equation
Now, F(2) = 2/3 * f1 = 2/3 * 18 = 12
F(3) = 2/3 * f(2) = 2/3 * 12 = 8
F(4) = 2/3 * F(3) = 2/3 * 8 = 16/3
F(5) = 2/3 * 16/3 = 32/9
Thus, seeing how the equations are progressing, we can definitely see a pattern.
That is Tn = (2/3)^(n-1)(18)
Find the slope of the line connecting (1990,435000) and (2005,482300):
482300-435000 47300
m = ----------------------- = ---------------- = 3153/yr (approx)
2005 - 1990 15 yr
Use the point-slope formula to find the equation of this str. line:
y-435000 = (3153/yr)(x-1990)
The year 2020 is 30 years after 1990. Thus, the expected pop in 2020 is
given by y-435000 = 3153(30) = 94590, so that y = 529590.
Answer:
length = 2x = 2(9) = 18 yds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let width = x
Let length = 2x
Area = 162 yd2
length × width = Area
2x(x) = 162
2x2 = 162
Divide by 2 on both sides of equation.
x2 = 81
Square-root both sides of equation to undo the exponent.
x = √(81)
x = 9
Substitute this x value into the initial variables.
width = x = 9 yds
length = 2x = 2(9) = 18 yds
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-1=0
Add 1 to both sides of the equation.
x^2=
