Write a recursive rule and an explicit rule for the sequence 3,7,11,15

Mathematics
1 answer:
m_a_m_a [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The Recursive formula for the sequence is:

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d

The Explicit formula for the sequence is:

a_n=4n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

3,7,11,15

Here:

a₁ = 3

computing the differences of all the adjacent terms

7 - 3 = 4, 11 - 7 = 4, 15 - 11 = 4

The difference between all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

d = 4

We know that a recursive formula basically defines each term of a sequence using the previous term(s).

The recursive formula of the Arithmetic sequence always involves the first term.

a₁ = 3

We know that, in the Arithmetic sequence, every next term can be obtained by adding the common difference and the preceding term.

so

The recursive formula of the sequence is:

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d

substitute n = 2 to find the 2nd term

a₂ = a₂₋₁ + d

a₂ = a₁+ d

substitute a₁ = 3 and d = 4

a₂ = 3 + 4

a₂ = 7

Thus, the recursive formula for the sequence 3,7,11,15 is:

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d

<u>An explicit rule for the sequence</u>

Given the sequence

3,7,11,15

We already know that

a₁ = 3

d = 4

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference 'd' and is defined by  

a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d

substituting a₁ = 3 and d = 4

a_n=4\left(n-1\right)+3

a_n=4n-4+3

a_n=4n-1

Therefore, an explicit rule for the  sequence

a_n=4n-1

Find the range for the function: y=x-7 {-3,0,2,5}
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Range is : { -10, -7, -5, -2 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The function is given as:

y=x-7

The domain of the function = { -3, 0, 2, 5 }

A function's input is called its domain and a function's output is called its range.

The range depends on the domain values. So, the values of 'y' are the values of range and the values of 'x' are the values of domain.

Here, the domain is given as:

Domain = { -3, 0, 2, 5 }

We need to find the values of 'y' for each value of 'x' taken from the domain set.

Plug in x=-3. This gives,

y=-3-7=-10

Plug in x=0. This gives,

y=0-7=-7

Plug in x=2. This gives,

y=2-7=-5

Plug in x=-5. This gives,

y=5-7=-2

Therefore, the set of all values of 'y' is the range.

Range is equal to { -10, -7, -5, -2 }.
