1. We use the recursive formula to make the table of values:
f(1) = 35
f(2) = f(1) + f(2-1) = f(1) + f(1) = 35 + 35 = 70
f(3) = f(1) + f(3-1) = f(1) + f(2) = 35 + 70 = 105
f(4) = f(1) + f(4-1) = f(1) + f(3) = 35 + 105 = 140
f(5) = f(1) + f(5-1) = f(1) + f(4) = 35 + 140 = 175
2. We observe that the pattern is that for each increase of n by 1, the value of f(n) increases by 35. The explicit equation would be that f(n) = 35n. This fits with the description that Bill saves up $35 each week, thus meaning that he adds $35 to the previous week's value.
3. Therefore, the value of f(40) = 35*40 = 1400. This is easier than having to calculate each value from f(1) up to f(39) individually. The answer of 1400 means that Bill will have saved up $1400 after 40 weeks.
4. For the sequence of 5, 6, 8, 11, 15, 20, 26, 33, 41...
The first-order differences between each pair of terms is: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...since these differences form a linear equation, this sequence can be expressed as a quadratic equation. Since quadratics are functions (they do not have repeating values of the x-coordinate), therefore, this sequence can also be considered a function.
Answer:
A) x^2-10x+25 B)X^3-15x^2+75x-125
Step-by-step explanation:
H^2=(x-5)(x-5)=x^2-10x+25
H^3=(x-5)(x-5)(x-5)=X^3-15x^2+75x-125
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the hyperbola can be written as ...
((x -h)/a)² -((y -k)/b)² = 1
This has asymptotes ...
(x -h)/a ± (y -k)/b = 0
Solving for y, we have ...
y = ±(b/a)(x -h) +k
Filling in the given values a=6, b=8, h=1, k=2, we have ...
y = ±8/6(x -1) +2
If the line passes through the points (-5,2) and (10,-1), then the equation of the line will be y= -1/5x+1
