Answer:
The explicit formula
The recursive formula
for 
if 
Step-by-step explanation:
If a sequence is arithmetical then the difference between any of its consecutive terms will be constant
3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75,
The difference between the consecutive terms remains constant so the sequence is arithmetic.
The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is:
Where d is the constant difference between the terms.
is the first term of the sequence.
So
Finally, the recursive formula is:
Answer:
d = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Add -8 -5 +7
take that number : -6
72 divided by -6 = -12
d = -12
The vertex of the parabola is at (5,3) and its focal length is 8/4 = 2.
Since it opens to the right, the directrix will be a vertical line 2 units to the left of the vertex, so its equation will be x=(5-2), or x=3
Answer:Gary made 15 baskets.
Susan made 10 baskets.
Bill made 17 baskets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of baskets that Gary made.
Let y represent the number of baskets that Susan made.
Let z represent the number of baskets that Bill made.
Gary made 5 baskets than Susan this season. This means that
x = y + 5
Bill made 3 less than twice as many baskets as Susan. This means that
z = 2y - 3
Together, all three made 42 baskets. This means that
x + y + z = 42 - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = y + 5 and z = 2y - 3 into equation 1, it becomes
y + 5 + y + 2y - 3 = 42
4y + 2 = 42
4y = 42 - 2 = 40
y = 40/4 = 10
x = y + 5 = 10 + 5
x = 15
z = 2y - 3 = 2 × 10 - 3
z = 20 - 3 = 17
The position function of a particle is given by:
The velocity function is the derivative of the position:
The particle will be at rest when the velocity is 0, thus we solve the equation:
The coefficients of this equation are: a = 2, b = -9, c = -18
Solve by using the formula:
![t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D)
Substituting:
![\begin{gathered} t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81-4(2)(-18)}}{2(2)} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81+144}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{225}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm15}{4} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20t%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B81-4%282%29%28-18%29%7D%7D%7B2%282%29%7D%20%5C%5C%20t%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B81%2B144%7D%7D%7B4%7D%20%5C%5C%20t%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B225%7D%7D%7B4%7D%20%5C%5C%20t%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%5Cpm15%7D%7B4%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
We have two possible answers:
We only accept the positive answer because the time cannot be negative.
Now calculate the position for t = 6:
