Answer:

a(7) = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive formula and a(1) = 0, a(2) = 1 , then

a(3) = a(2) + 2a(1) = 1 + 2(0) = 1 + 0 = 1

a(4) = a(3) + 2a(2) = 1 + 2(1) = 1 + 2 = 3

a(5) = a(4) + 2a(3) = 3 + 2(1) = 3 + 2 = 5

a(6) = a(5) + 2a(4) = 5 + 2(3) = 5 + 6 = 11

a(7) = a(6) + 2a(5) = 11 + 2(5) = 11 + 10 = 21

Flura [38]

Let in t hours, they are at 270 miles apart .

After t hours, Dave traveled

=40 t \ miles

And Mary traveled ,

=50t \ miles

So the equation is

40t+ 50t = 270
\\
90t = 270
\\
t= 3 hours \ from \ 10am

That is at 1 pm, they are 270 miles apart. And the correct option is A .

adoni [48]

The complete question is as below and diagram is also attached:

Elena’s backyard is in the shape of a rectangle. She created a triangular-shaped flower bed (shown as the shaded region) to plant flowers in. The area of the triangular flower bed is 125 square feet. The area of her backyard that does not include the flower bed is 575 square feet

Answer:

The correct answer is 575 sq. m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of triangle =\frac{height X base}{2} = \frac{10*25}{2} = 125

The area of square = A = LW

                                = 35 × 20 = 700

Thus, the answer will be

= 700 - 125

= 525.

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:  10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of correct problems and y be the number of incorrect problems.

Given:  A teacher pays a student 10​¢ for every problem in this chapter that the student solves​ correctly, and fines the student 5 ¢ for every problem done incorrectly.

At the end of 30 problems they do not owe each other any​ money.

The by considering the given information we have the following equations :-

x+y=30-----(1)\\\\ 10x-5y=0------(2)

From (2), we have

5y=10x\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2x

Put y=2x in (1)

x+2x=30\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x=30\Rightarrow x=10

Then,  y=2(10)=20

Hence, the number of correct problems is 10 and the number of incorrect problems is 20.
