Answer:
<h3>See explanations below</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Given the recursive function An=an-1 + 3 when a1 = 5, we are to find the first four terms;
First term a1 = 5
a2 = a1 +3
a2 = 5 + 3
a2 = 8
a3 = a2 + 3
a3 = 8+3
a3 = 11
a4 = a3 + 3
a4 = 11 + 3
a4 = 14
<em>The first four terms are 5, 8, 11 and 14</em>
<em></em>
<em>2) </em>For the recursive function An=an-1 + 2/3 when a1 = 1
a2 = a1 + 2/3
a2 = 1 + 2/3
a2 = 5/3
a3 = a2 + 2/3
a3 = 5/3 + 2/3
a3 = 7/3
a4 = a3 + 2/3
a4 = 7/3 + 2/3
a4 = 9/3
a4 = 3
<em>Hence the first four terms of the sequence are 2/3, 5/3, 7/3, 3</em>
<em></em>
3) For the recursive function An=an-1 + 12 when a1=30
a2 = a1 + 12
a2 = 30 + 12
a2 = 42
a3 = a2 +12
a3 = 42 + 12
a3 = 54
a4 = a3 + 12
a4 = 54+12
a4 = 66
<em>Hence the first four terms of the sequence are 30, 42, 54, 66</em>

Answer: infinitely many solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, our equation is:
-2.1*b + 5.3 = b - 3.1*b + 5.3
now, simplifyng the right side, we have:
b - 3.1*b + 5.3 = (1 - 3.1)*b + 5.3 = -2.1*b + 5.3
Then our initial expression is:
-2.1*b + 5.3 = -2.1*b + 5.3
So in both sides of the equality we have the exact same thing, so this is a trivial equality.
This means that the equality will remain true for any value of b, which means that we have infinitely many solutions.
Answer:
you want 4 correct and 16 incorrect
there are 20 questions
each question has four answers, so
P(right answer) = 1/4
P(wrong answer) = 3/4
----
Since you want 4 correct of 20 we have a combination of 20C4
This is a binomial problem where p = 1/4, q = 3/4 and we get
(20 "choose" 4)*(probability correct)^(number correct)*(probability incorrect)^(number incorrect)
putting numbers in we get
(20c4)*(1/4)^4*(3/4)^16
This gives us
