Answer:

No, Ivory is incorrect. The equation does have a solution, and the solution is x = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We try to solve the equation first.

2x + 2 = x + 1

We want all variables on the left side and all numbers on the right side.

Subtract x from both sides.

x + 2 = 1

Subtract 2 from both sides.

x = -1

Check: Plug in -1 for x on both sides and see if it makes a true statement.

2x + 2 = x + 1

2(-1) + 2 = -1 + 1

-2 + 2 = 0

0 = 0

0 = 0 is a true statement, so the solution x = -1 is the correct solution.

Answer: Ivory is incorrect. The equation does have a solution, and the solution is x = -1.

Consider the sequence 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, .... (a) Write a recursive rule to represent the sequence. (b) Write an explicit rule to
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

  a. a[1] = 3; a[n] = 2a[n-1]

  b. a[n] = 3·2^(n-1)

  c. a[15] = 49,152

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term of the given sequence is 2 times the previous term. (This description is the basis of the recursive formula.) That is, the terms of the given sequence have a common ratio of 2. This means the sequence is geometric, so the formulas for explicit and recursive rules for a geometric sequence apply.

The first term is 3, and the common ratio is 2.

<h3>(a)</h3>

The recursive rule is ...

  a[1] = 3

  a[n] = 2×a[n-1]

__

<h3>(b)</h3>

The explicit rule is ...

  a[n] = a[1]×r^(n-1)

  a[n] = 3×2^(n-1)

__

<h3>(c)</h3>

The 15th term is ...

  a[15] = 3×2^(15-1) = 3×2^14

  a[15] = 49,152
