What is the explicit formula

Mathematics

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 :)

Mary Ann needs 3/7 cup of sugar to bake a cake she has 3/5 cup does she have enough to bake the cake yes or no

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Mary Ann does have enough sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 is greater than 3/7 which means that she does have enough sugar. This is because the denominator 5 is smaller than the denominator 7, and since they have the same numerator, the fraction with the smaller denominator is greater.

Write a paragraph comparing the two classes' semester grades. Be sure to compare the extremes, the quartiles, the medians, and t

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Second class have higher marks and greater spread.

Step-by-step explanation:

First box plot represents class first. From the first box plot, we get

$\text{Minimum value }= 53,Q_1=62,Median=80,Q_3=86,\text{Maximum value }= 89$

$Range=Maximum-Minimum=89-53=36$

$IQR=Q_3-Q-1=86-62=24$

Second box plot represents class second. From the second box plot, we get

$\text{Minimum value }= 56,Q_1=62,Median=74,Q_3=89,\text{Maximum value }= 96$

$Range=Maximum-Minimum=96-56=40$

$IQR=Q_3-Q-1=89-62=27$

First class has greater minimum value, first quartile of both classes are same, second class has greater median, first class has greater third quartile and first class has greater maximum value. It means second class have higher marks but class first have less variation.

Second class has greater range and greater inter quartile range. It means data of second class has greater spread.

Therefore, second class have higher marks and greater spread.

How many times smaller is the surface area of a cube if the side length is multiplied 1/2<br>

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

1/4, or 4 times smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the surface area of a cube is just the combination of the area of all of the square sides, and the formula for those is s^2, if the side length was decreased by 1/2 then the surface area would decrease by (1/2)^2=1/4. Hope this helps!

Find the slope of a line parallel to a line that contains the points (8, -3) and (2, 5).

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$-\frac{4}{3}$ (Your answer choices were really confusing, so I just put the plain answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line with just two points, we can use the formula $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ . In this case, $\frac{5-(-3)}{2-8}$ . This is $\frac{8}{-6}$ . This reduces to $-\frac{4}{3}$
