Answer:

  all of them, possibly excepting the 4th term

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive formula is good if you have terms near the one of interest. It might be used for the 4th term, but that would require that you compute the three previous terms:

  7, 5, 3, 1 . . . . requires 3 subtractions

It can be about as easy to calculate ...

  a4 = 7 -2(3) = 1 . . . . requires two* subtractions and a multiplication

__

However, for the 7th, 11th, and 106th terms, it is impractical to list all previous terms. The explicit formula is a better choice.

A.  a4 = 7 -2(3) = 1

B.  a7 = -1 +10(6) = 59

C.  a106 = 2 +5(105) = 527

D.  a11 = -3 +4(10) = 37

_____

* The explicit formula is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

The operations identified in this formula (in the order required by the Order of Operations) are subtraction, multiplication, and addition. For a negative common difference, that amounts to two subtractions and a multiplication.

For manual evaluation, the work involved in using the recursive or explicit formulas for the 4th term is about the same, if the arithmetic is easily done mentally (as here).

A rectangular room is 22 meters longer than it is wide, and its perimeter is 1616 meters. find the dimension of the room.
Eddi Din [679]
W= width; L= length =w+22m; p= perimeter= 2(L+w)
1616 meters= 2 (L+w) substitute for L
1616m+ 2(w+22m+w) divide each side by 2

808m= 2w+22m subtract 22m from each side
786m=2w divide each side by 2
393m=w Anwer: The width is 393 meters
L=w+22m=393m+22m=415m Answer: The length is 415 meters

If DEF measures 32 inches, EF = 2x - 10 and DE= 4x find x and the measure of each segment.
azamat

Add EF and DE together to equal 32

2x-10 + 4x = 32

Combine like terms;

6x-10 = 32

Add 10 to each side:

6x = 42

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 42/6

X = 7

EF = 2x-10 = 2(7)-10 = 14-10 = 4

DE = 4x = 4(7) = 28
