The correct answers are:
(1) 6, 11, 16, 21, 26 (Option B)
(2);
(Option A)
(3) (Option D)
Explanations:
(1) Given Sequence:
Now in order to find the first 5 terms, we need to put n=1,2,3,4,5 in the above sequence and solve.
For n=1:
For n=2:
For n=3:
For n=4:
For n=5:
Hence, the first five terms are: 6, 11, 16, 21, 26 (Option B)
(2) Given Sequence:
8, 6, 4, 2, …
Now to find the recursive definition, we need to adopt trial-and-error approach.
As, (meaning the first element of the sequence is 8), the second or nth value of the sequence can be found by using the following formula:
--- (1)
Where, n = the index of the number in a sequence
d = difference between two consecutive numbers = 8-6 = 2
Now,
The second number of the sequence has to be 6 by using (1). Put n = 2 and d = 2 in (1):
Since , therefore,
(correct)
Hence the correct answer is ;
(Option A)
(3) Given Sequence:
−2, 1, 4, 7, …
To find the explicit definition, use the following formula:
--- (X)
Where,
Plug in the values in (X):
(X)=> (Option D)
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
So you have the equation: . So let's work in order and focus on the
part first. The inverse of tan is essentially taking in the value of
and returning
. And the value of
can be defined as
. So if you look at the unit circle, you'll need to look for two values that are exactly the same. You'll notice when the angle is 45 degrees, the value of sine, and cosine are the exact same. They're both
. So the inverse of tan(1 degree) = 45 degrees. Now we can literally refer to the same point, because when finding the cosine of 45 degrees, we can just use the x-value. This gives a solution of
