Recursive
formula is one way of solving an arithmetic sequence. It contains the initial
term of a sequence and the implementing rule that serve as a pattern in finding
the next terms. In the
problem given, the 6th term is provided, therefore we can solve for the initial
term in reverse. To make use of it, instead of multiplying 1.025, we should divide it after
deducting 50 (which supposedly is added).
<span>
Therefore, we perform the given formula: A (n) = <span>1.025(an-1) +
50
</span></span>a(5) =1.025 (235.62) + 50 = 291.51
a(4) = 1.025 (181.09) + 50 = 235.62
a(3) = 1.025 (127.89) + 50 = 181.09
a(2) = 1.025 (75.99) + 50 = 127.89
a(1) = 1.025 (25.36) + 50 = 75.99
a(n) = 25.36
The terms before a(6) are indicated above, since a(6) is already given.
So, the correct answer is <span>
A. $25.36, $75.99.</span>
Answer:
D) y=0.75x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 23, 25, 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the 3 consecutive odd numbers be x, x+2 and x+4.
So
2x+(x+2)+3(x+4)=152
2x + x + 2 + 3x + 12 = 152
6x+14=152
6x = 152 - 14
x=138/6
x=23
So, the numbers are 23, 25 and 27.
