Consider a sequence given by the formula f(n)=3n-1 starting with n=1. Generate the first 5 terms of the sequence

Answer:

The first 5 terms are 2, 5, 8, 11, 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the formula to find out each term.
f(n)=3n-1 starting with n=1. If n=1 that is the 1st term, if n=2 that is the 2nd term, and so on. n means what number term it is.
Now to find each term:

n=1: f(1)= 3(1)-1= 3-1= 2 The 1st term is 2
n=2: f(2)= 3(2)-1= 6-1= 5 The 2nd term is 5
n=3: f(3)= 3(3)-1= 9-1=8 The 3rd term is 8
n=4: f(4)= 4(3)-1= 12-1= 11 The 4th term is 11
n=5: f(5)= 5(3)-1= 15-1= 14 The 5th term is 14

So the first 5 terms are 2,5,8,11,14

P=-40q+163, what is the relationship between p and q?

Alex Ar [27]

$P=-40q+163$

$p-163=-40q$

$- \dfrac{p-163}{40}=q$

$q= - \dfrac{p-163}{40}$

Determine the lengths of the sides of the rectangle using the given area. Give answers both exactly and

Degger [83]

Answer:

Part a) Exactly values

The width of the rectangle is $\frac{\sqrt{70}}{2}\ cm$

The length of the rectangle is $2\sqrt{70}\ cm$

Part b) Approximately values

The width of the rectangle is $4.2\ cm$

The length of the rectangle is $16.7\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

$A=LW$

we have

$L=4x\ cm\\W=x\ cm$

substitute the values in the formula

$A=4x(x)$

$A=4x^2$

$A=70\ cm^2$

so

$70=4x^2$

Solve for x

Divide by 4 both sides

$\frac{70}{4}=x^2$

square root both sides

$x=(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{70}}{2}$

The solution is the positive value

$x=\frac{\sqrt{70}}{2}$

therefore

<em>Exactly values</em>

$L=4\sqrt{70}}{2}=2\sqrt{70}\ cm\\\\W=\frac{\sqrt{70}}{2}\ cm$

<em>Approximately values</em>

$L=4\sqrt{70}}{2}=16.7\ cm\\\\W=\frac{\sqrt{70}}{2}=4.2\ cm$

The measure of the base of a triangle is represented by 4x+3 and the height is 6x represent the area of the triangle as a polyno

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

$12x^2+9x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the area of a triangle is $\frac{bh}{2}$ . Plugging in the given base and height values, you get $\frac{(4x+3)(6x)}{2}=\frac{24x^2+18x}{2}=12x^2+9x$ . Hope this helps!
