Why -4 x (-4) = 16 not -16? Simple...

1 answer:

Illusion [34]3 years ago

4 0

The reason why it is a positive 16 and not a negative 16, is because when you multiply a negative number with another negative number you will always get a positive number. But, if you multiple a negative number with a positive number, you will get a negative. So, in order for you to get a -16, the equation would have to be -4*4=-16.

Given the recursive formula:<br> a1=3<br> An=2(an-1+1)<br> Find a2 a3 a4

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

$a_2 = 8$

$a_3 = 18$

$a_4 = 38$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following recursive formula:

$a_n = 2(a_{n-1}+1)$

And consider $a_1 = 3$

a2

$a_2 = 2(a_1 + 1) = 2(3 + 1) = 8$

a3

$a_3 = 2(a_2 + 1) = 2(8 + 1) = 18$

a4

$a_4 = 2(a_3 + 1) = 2(18 + 1) = 38$

A package of 25 wristbands cost $5.25. At this rate, what is the cost of 1 wristband in dollars and cents?

azamat

Answer:

$0.21

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion. Say x is the cost of 1 wristband:

$\frac{5.25}{25} =\frac{x}{1}$

Now, we cross multiply:

25x = 5.25

Solving for x, we see that x = 0.21.

Thus, the answer is $0.21.
