Answer:

f(7) = 13.7

f(8) = 18.7

Recursive Function Is: f(1) = -16.3; (fn) = f(n - 1) + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive function of the arithmetic sequence is

f(1) = first term; f(n) = f(n-1) + d, where

d is the common difference between each two consecutive terms

∵ f(5) = 3.7 and f(6) = 8.7

∵ d = f(6) - f(5)

∴ d = 8.7 - 3.7

∴ d = 5

∵ f(7) = f(6) + 5

∴ f(7) = 8.7 + 5

∴ f(7) = 13.7

∵ f(8) = f(7) + 5

∴ f(8) = 13.7 + 5

∴ f(8) = 18.7

→ To find f(1) subtract from each term the value of d

∵ f(5) = f(4) + d

∴ f(4) = f(5) - d

∴ f(4) = 3.7 - 5

∴ f(4) = -1.3

∵ f(3) = f(4) - 5

∴ f(3) = -1.3 - 5

∴ f(3) = -6.3

∵ f(2) = f(3) - 5

∴ f(2) = -6.3 - 5

∴ f(2) = -11.3

∵ f(1) = f(2) - 5

∴ f(1) = -11.3 - 5

∴ f(1) = -16.3

∴ Recursive Function Is: f(1) = -16.3; (fn) = f(n - 1) + 5

Answer:

$tan(-\theta)=-tan\theta$

Odd function

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$tan(-\theta)$

We have to determine the value of $tan(-\theta)$ and find tangent function is odd,even or neither.

$tan(-\theta)=\frac{sin(-\theta)}{cos(-\theta)}$

$tan\theta=\frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta}$

We know that

$sin(-\theta)=-sin\theta$

$cos(-\theta)=cos\theta$

By using identities

Then, we get

$tan(-\theta)=\frac{-sin\theta}{cos\theta}=-tan\theta$

$tan(-\theta)=-tan\theta$

Odd function: If $f(-x)=-f(x)$

Even function:If $f(-x)=f(x)$

$tan(-\theta)=-tan\theta$

Therefore, function is an odd function.

pychu [463]

Answer:

7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

At 25% per day, it will take approximately 3 days to double the population, so approximately 6 days for the population to quadruple. Checking that number, we find it is not quite enough for the experiment, so another day is required.

"Guess and check" as a method of solution works especially well if you have an automated checker to evaluate your guess. A graphing calculator or spreadsheet can work well for this.

_____

We guess 3 days as the doubling time using the "rule of 72" that says the product of percentage and doubling time is about 72. That is, 72/25 ≈ 3. (This is only a very rough approximation of doubling time, best for rates near 8%.)
