A pizza with one topping costs $11.
1 answer:
Given:
A pizza with one topping costs $11. Each additional topping costs $2 more.
To find:
The recursive formula and an explicit formula for the situation.
Solution:
The sequence of costs of pizza is
11, (11+2), (11+2+2), ...
11, 13, 15, ... are in A.P.
Here,
First term: a=11
Common difference: d=2
Explicit formula of an A.P. is
where, a is first term and d is common difference.
Therefore, the explicit formula for the situation is .
Recursive formula of an A.P. is
Where, is first term and d is common difference.
Where, .
Therefore, the required recursive formula is where
.

Concept: Solution of the given attachment is based on the addition of two vectors as given below.
Consider two vectors P and Q, then resultant of these two vectors is given as,
R = P + Q
To find the addition of G & H vectors. That is G + H =?
In the given figure;
Vector A = - Vector G because both are in opposite directions -----(i)
From the figure,
A + H = F --------------- using the given concept ---------(ii)
Now, shall replace the value of A from equation (i) in equation(ii)
- G + H = F
or, G + (- H) = - F
Since the vector addition of G & H is not equal to F.
Hence, the given statement G + H = F is False.
