Answer:

The first piece is 5 inches long, while the second is 15 inches and the third one is 20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the length of the 3 pieces, knowing that the total of the board is 40 inches, and that the second measures 3 times more than the first and the third measures 4 times more than the first, the following equation must be performed:

X + 3X + 4X = 40

8X = 40

X = 40/8

X = 5

Therefore, the first piece is 5 inches long, while the second is 15 inches and the third 20 inches.

What happens when demand exceeds supply?
marta [7]

Answer:  Option 'b' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have that

When Demand exceeds supply.

It means money supply is more in the country due to which demand for a good increased more than supply.

It is the situation of inflation.

In this case, price would increase to curb the increase in demand.

For example, if the prevaling price for a particular good is $5, so a person is willing to purchase 10 units as he has $50.

But if the price gets increased and the new price becomes $10, then that person can buy only 5 units from $50.

So, it can reduce the demand and makes it equal to supply.

So, Option 'b' is correct.

For each of the following sequences, • Give a formula for the nth term in the sequence, • Give a recursive definition for the se
Andrew [12]

Answer:

(a)n^{th} = n

f(1) = 1

f(n) = f(n-1) + 1

(b)n^{th} = 2^{n-1}

f(1) = 1

f(n) = f(n-1) * 2

(c)n^{th} = n!

f(1) = 1

f(n) = f(n-1) * n

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) This is a sequence of consecutive number

n^{th} = n

f(1) = 1

f(n) = f(n-1) + 1

(b) This is a sequence of 2 to the power of n - 1. The next number is twice time of this number

n^{th} = 2^{n-1}

f(1) = 1

f(n) = f(n-1) * 2

(c) This is factorial sequence. Where the next number is this number multiplied by n^{th}

n^{th} = n!

f(1) = 1

f(n) = f(n-1) * n
