<h3>Answer: Choice C) 31</h3>

==============================================

Explanation:

The recursive rule

f(n+1)=f(n)-3

can be rearranged to

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

after adding 3 to both sides

----------------

Now let's say we plug in n = 3

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

f(3) = f(3+1)+3

f(3) = f(4)+3

f(3) = 22+3

f(3) = 25

Repeat for n = 2

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

f(2) = f(2+1)+3

f(2) = f(3)+3

f(2) = 25+3

f(2) = 28

Each time we keep adding 3 to get the previous term (since the original recursive rule says to subtract 3 to get the next term; we just go backwards of what the instructions say).

Lastly, we can find that f(1) = f(2)+3 = 28+3 = 31 making the answer to be choice C.

Find in degrees the numeric value of the acute angle of rotation that eliminates the product term from the equation 7x2+24xy−34x
lutik1710 [3]

Rotating the graph of Ax^2+Bxy+Cy^2+Dx+Ey+F=0 with B\ne0 counterclockwise by \theta eliminates the xy term, where \cot2\theta=\frac{A-C}{B}. Plugging in, we have \cot2\theta=\frac{7}{24}, since C=0. Solving, we have \theta=\frac{1}{2}\cot^{-1}(\frac{7}{24})\approx\boxed{36.9^\circ}.

the circumference of a circle is 11pi inches. what is the area, in square inches, of the circle? express in terms of pi.
zmey [24]
Circumference = 2 * pi * r, where r is the radius
For this circle, the circumference is 11pi, so 11pi=2*pi*radius. Divide both sides by 2pi and you get r is = to 5.5 inches.

Area of a circle is pi*r^2. Since we just saw that r = 5.5 inches, the circle has an area of 5.5 inches * 5.5 inches * pi or 30.25 pi inches squared.

Answer:

D is not a supported statement

Step-by-step explanation:

Let take them one by one:

A: from table: 0.57; in statement: 0.5

0.57 > 0.5 so this is supported

B: from table: 0.2+0.16=0.36; in statement: 1/3=0.33,

0.36>0.33 so this is supported

C: 0.07 is the least, so this is supported

D: the table DOES NOT show number of students, but proportions. So statement '7 students' IS NOT supported

E: from table 0.20 overslept. 0.2 < 1/4=0.25, so this is supported

Answer:

H_1 : \mu  > 24.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The sample size is 28

The population mean is 24.5 (ppb)

The sample mean is 225.3 (ppb)

Thus, the null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:

Null hypothesis:

H_o : \mu \le 24.5

Alternative hypothesis:

H_1 : \mu  > 24.5
