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

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

Rewrite the sum of 30 and 42 by factoring out of the greatest common factor
kvasek [131]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 30: 1,2,3,5,(6),10,15,30

Factors of 42: 1,2,3,(6),7,14,21,42

30 divided by 6, 42 divided by 6

(5) + (7)= 12

Solve:-<br><br> 7^5<br><br> Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
solong [7]
These are exponents. To solve an exponent you need to multiply the base it self how many times its says in the power.

a² 

a = base
<span>2 = power
</span>
7^5 = 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 = <span>16807
7^5 = </span><span>16807</span>

What happens when an image is reflected over y = -x
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Well, it's pretty simple. If your reflecting something over the y axis the X will change if it's negative or positive. So if it's -x and you flip it over it becomes a positive x. If you flip it over the x-axis the Y is the one that change to a negative or positive.

So if the shape flips over the y-axis, the X points will turn negative. for example, one of the points is (1,4) it will turn to (-1,4)

LMN≅PQR
tresset_1 [31]
<span>LMN≅PQR means that point L is equal to P, point M is equal to Q, and point N is equal to R. All lines are the same.

Point Q has an angle of 72, which means that point M also has an angle of 72.

Now you have two angles to find x. All interior angles of a triangle add up to 180, so you can set up the following equation to find x:

72 + 36 + x = 180

Subtract 36 from both sides.

72 + x = 144

Subtract 72 from both sides.

x = 72

The angle of point L, x, is 72.
