Answer:

a_1=2\\a_n=a_{n-1}+(n-1)\,,n>1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The smaller branches spiral in the pattern \{2,3,5,8,...\} from a larger limb.

To model: the tree growth with the Fibonacci sequence

Solution:

Take a_1=2

Let a_n denotes the n^{th} term.

a_2=3=2+1=2+(2-1)=a_1+(2-1)\\a_3=5=3+2=3+(3-1)=a_2+(3-1)\\a_4=8=5+3=5+(4-1)=a_3+(4-1)

So,

a_1=2\\a_n=a_{n-1}+(n-1)\,,n>1

Answer:

  x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole is equal to the sum of the parts.

  DG = DO +GO

  20 = (4x +1) + 7

  12 = 4x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 8

  3 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

Saji swims 1/3 mi every day. One day he had already swum 1/5 mi. How much further should he swim?
grigory [225]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2/15 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of two fractions can always be computed using the pattern ...

  \dfrac{a}{b}-\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{ad-bd}{bd}

Using this pattern to find the difference of 1/3 and 1/5, we see it is ...

  1/3 -1/5 = (5 -3)/(3·5) = 2/15

Saji must swim 2/15 miles further to complete his 1/3 mile swim.
