Answer:

a(n) = 13 - 2n

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula variables are a(n) = a(1) + d (n - 1). The a(1) is your number you started out with, and the d is the common difference. From the recursive formula example, you see that your first number is 11 and your difference is -2.

1. Plug the numbers into the equation : a(n) = 11 - 2 (n - 1)

2. Distribute: a(n) = 11 - 2n + 2

3. Add like terms: a(n) = 13 - 2n

If you want to double check, you can plug 1 into n and see if you get 11. I did this, and I did so it should be correct. Hope this made sense! Have a great day :)

Bismuth-210 is an isotope that radioactively decays by about 13% each day, meaning 13% of the remaining Bismuth-210 transforms i

Luden [163]

Answer:

Approximately 76.5 mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial quantity of the Bismuth-210, P = 233 mg,

Also, the rate of decay per day, r = 13 %

Thus, the quantity of the Bismuth-210 after 8 days would be,

$A=P(1-\frac{r}{100})^8$

$=233(1-\frac{13}{100})^8$

$=233(1-0.13)^8$

$=233(0.87)^8$

$=76.4733194697$

$\approx 76.5\text{ mg}$

Answer:

$2 {x}^{2} + 13x + 15 \\ 2 {x}^{2} + 10x + 3x + 15 \\ 2x(x + 5) + 3(x + 5) \\ (2x + 3)(x + 5)$

$5 {x}^{2} + 21x + 4 \\ 5 {x}^{2} + 20x + x + 4 \\ 5x(x + 4) + 1(x + 4) \\ (5x + 1)(x + 4) \\$

$7 {x}^{2} - 59x + 24 \\ 7 {x}^{2} - 56x - 3x + 24 \\ 7x(x - 8) - 3(x - 8) \\ (7x - 3)(x - 8)$

$2 {x}^{2} + 11x - 13 \\ 2 {x}^{2} - 2x + 13x - 13 \\ 2x(x - 1) + 13(x - 1) \\ (2x + 13)(x - 1)$

$8 {x}^{2} + 29x - 12 \\ 8 {x}^{2} + 32x - 3x - 12 \\ 8x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4) \\ (8x - 3)(x + 4) \\ \\$

$12 {x}^{2} - 7x - 12 \\ 12 {x}^{2} + 9x - 16x- 12 \\3x(4x + 3) - 4(4x + 3) \\ (3x - 4)(4x + 3)$

$- 12 {x}^{2} - 35x - 18 \\ - 12 {x}^{2} - 8x - 27x- 18 \\ - 4x(3x - 2) - 9(3x - 2) \\ ( - 4x - 9)(3x - 2)$

I need help with this problem I didn't really pay that much attention to this part of the subject.

Flauer [41]

To check if a piecewise defined function is continuous, you need to check how the pieces "glue" together when you step from one domain to the other.

So, the question is: what happens at x=3? If you reach x=3 from values slightly smaller than 3, you obey the rule f(x)=log(3x). So, as you approach 3, you get values closer and closer to

$\log(3\cdot 3)=\log(9)$

Similarly, if you reach x=3 from values slightly greater than 3, you obey the rule f(x)=(4-x)log(9). So, as you approach 3, you get values closer and closer to

$(4-3)\log(9)=\log(9)$

So, the function is continuous at x=3, because both pieces approach log(9) as x approaches 3.
