Challenge You buy 3.17 pounds of oranges, 1.25 pounds of pears, and 2.44 pounds of apples.

Fill in the blank with the recursive function. Be sure to include the starting point.

erik [133]

Answer:

The recursive function that represents the number of books Ashley has at any time is

$a_n=a_{n-1}-n$

starting at

$a_1=100$

Step-by-step explanation:

Ashley has 100 books that she wants to give away at the rate of n books per week.

So,

$a_1=100\\ \\a_2=100-n=a_1-n\\ \\a_3=a_2-n\\ \\...\\ \\a_n=a_{n-1}-n$

Thus, the recursive function that represents the number of books Ashley has at any time is

$a_n=a_{n-1}-n$

starting at

$a_1=100$

Irene makes 4 2/3 cups of pancake batter . she splits the

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An estimate is usually a guess, but I somehow think that's not what you want.

She starts with 4 2/3 cups of batter. When she divides it into two, one of the batters has 2 1/4 cups. That's the one she puts blueberries in.

The other batter is the one you are interested in. How big is it?

Estimate: One

The estimated size would be 4 2/3 - 2 1/3 = 2 1/3 which is an estimate. It is just taking the closest number to use so you don't have to grab your calculator.

Actual Size: Two

4 2/3 - 2 1/4 is the size of the second batter. Since 2/3 is greater than 1/4 you need only subtract the whole numbers and then the fractions.

Whole number subtraction: 4 - 2 = 2

Fraction subtraction: 2/3 - 1/4

Find the Lowest common multiple between 3 and 4: It is 12. 3 and 4 are prime to each other. They have nothing in common.

2/3 to 12s: (2*4)/(3*4) = 8 / 12
1/4 to 12s: (1 *3) / (4*3) = 3/12
8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12

So the actual size of the batter containing the walnuts is 2 5/12

107,600 115,220 104,910 median, mode, mean

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

1. Mean = 342.7 (Rounding to the nearest tenth)

2. Median = 167.5

3. Mode = There isn't a mode for this set of numbers because there isn't a data value that occur more than once.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this set of numbers: 107, 600, 115, 220, 104, 910, find out these measures of central tendency:

1. Mean = 107 + 600 + 115 + 220 + 104 + 910/6 = 342.7 (Rounding to the nearest tenth)

2. Median. In this case, we calculate it as the average between the third and the fourth element, this way:

115 + 220 =335

335/2 = 167.5

3. Mode = There isn't a mode for this set of numbers because there isn't a data value that occur more than once. All the data values occur only once.
