Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1) = 7
f(n) = 3f(n-1) + 3
So what you are trying to do here is find the recursive value (that's what it is called) for f(n). Computers love this sort of thing, but we humans have to do it slowly and carefully.
So let's try f(2)
That means that f(2) = 3*f(n-1) + 3
but if f(2) is used it means that you have to know f(2-1) which is just f(1) and we know that.
so f(2) = 3*f(1)+3
f(2) = 3*7 + 3
f(2) = 21 + 3
f(2) = 24
Now do it again. We now know F(2), so we should be able to find f(3)
f(3) = 3*f(3 - 1) + 3
f(3) = 3*f(2) + 3 We know that f(2) = 24
f(3) = 3* 24 + 3
f(3) = 72 + 3
f(3) = 75
Hey!
A function in slope-intercept form would look like y=mx+b; with the x and y values on the opposites of the equation.
A function in standard form would look like ax+by=c; with the x and y values on the same side of the equation.
Hope this helps!
I'm guessing there are 12 lions since half of twelve is 6 and there is only 2 male lions. I would put down 12. Hope that helps!
Answer:
(- 1, 8 ) and (5, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = - x + 7 → (1)
y = 0.5(x - 3)² → (2)
Substitute y = 0.5(x - 3)² into (1)
0.5(x - 3 )² = - x + 7 ← expand and simplify left side
0.5(x² - 6x + 9) = - x + 7 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
x² - 6x + 9 = - 2x + 14 ( subtract - 2x + 14 from both sides )
x² - 4x - 5 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 5)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
Substitute these values into (1) for corresponding values of y
x = 5 : y = - 5 + 7 = 2 ⇒ (5, 2 )
x = - 1 : y = 1 + 7 = 8 ⇒ (- 1, 8 )
