Choose the correct explicit formula for the sequence below.

Mathematics
1 answer:
insens350 [35]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

an = 3+3(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are adding 3 each time

6-3 = 3  9-6 = 3

The common difference is 3

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1+d(n-1)

The first term is a1 = 3

d =3

an = 3+3(n-1)

Carry out three steps of the Bisection Method for f(x)=3x−x4 as follows: (a) Show that f(x) has a zero in [1,2]. (b) Determine w
ELEN [110]

Answer:

a) There's a zero between [1,2]

b) There's a zero between [1.5,2]

c) There's a zero between  [1.5,1.75].

Step-by-step explanation:

We have f(x)=3^x-x^4

A)We need to show that f(x) has a zero in the interval [1, 2]. We have to see if the function f is continuous with f(1) and f(2).

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1)=3^1-(1)^4=3-1=2\\\\f(2)=3^2-(2)^4=9-16=(-7)

We can see that f(1) and f(2) have opposite signs. And f(1)>f(2) and the function is continuous, this means that exists a real number c between the interval [1,2] where f(c)=0.

B)We have to repeat the same steps of A)

For the subinterval [1,1.5]:

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1)=3^1-(1)^4=3-1=2\\\\f(1.5)=3^1^.^5-(1.5)^4=5.19-5.06=0.13

f(1) and f(1.5) have the same signs, this means there's no zero in the subinterval [1,1.5].

For the subinterval [1.5,2]:

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1.5)=3^1^.^5-(1.5)^4=5.19-5.06=0.13\\\\f(2)=3^2-(2)^4=9-16=(-7)

f(1.5) and f(2) have opposite signs, this means there's a zero between the subinterval [1.5,2].

C)We have to repeat the same steps of A)

For the subinterval [1,1.25]:

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1)=3^1-(1)^4=3-1=2\\\\f(1.25)=3^1^.^2^5-(1.25)^4=3.94-2.44=1.5

f(1) and f(1.25) have the same signs, this means there's no zero in the subinterval [1,1.25].

For the subinterval [1.25,1.5]:

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1.25)=3^1^.^2^5-(1.25)^4=3.94-2.44=1.5\\\\f(1.5)=3^1^.^5-(1.5)^4=5.19-5.06=0.13

f(1.25) and f(1.5) have the same signs, this means there's no zero in the subinterval [1.25,1.5].

For the subinterval [1.5,1.75]:

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1.5)=3^1^.^5-(1.5)^4=5.19-5.06=0.13\\\\f(1.75)=3^1^.^7^5-(1.75)^4=6.83-9.37=(-2.54)

f(1.5) and f(1.75) have opposite signs, this means there's a zero between the subinterval [1.5,1.75].

For the subinterval [1.75,2]:

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1.75)=3^1^.^7^5-(1.75)^4=6.83-9.37=(-2.54)\\\\f(2)=3^2-(2)^4=9-16=(-7)

f(1.75) and f(2) have the same signs, this means there isn't a zero between the subinterval [1.75,2].

The graph of the function shows that the answers are correct.

The hover dam contains 3 1/2 millon cubic yards of concrete.The grand coulee dam contains 2 1/2 times as much. How much concrete
Margarita [4]

grand coulee dam (g) contains 2.5 times as much concrete as the hover dam (h)

Therefore,

g = 2.5 * h

h = 3.5 million

g = 2.5 * 3.5

g = 8.75 million yards of concrete

Which length is 10 6 times greater than a nanometer?
crimeas [40]
A nanometer (nm) is 10⁻⁹ m.

Therefore
10⁶ x 1 nm = 10⁶(10⁻⁹ m) = 10⁻³ m

By definition,
10⁻³ m = 1 mm (millimeter)

Answer: 1 millimeter

A pizza parlor offers 3 sizes of pizzas, 2 types of crust, and one of 4 different toppings. How many different pizzas can be mad
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:  The total number of  pizzas that can be made from the given choices is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a pizza parlor offers 3 sizes of pizzas, 2 types of crust, and one of 4 different toppings.

We are to find the number of different pizzas that can be made from the given choices.

We have the <em><u>COUNTING PRINCIPLE :</u></em>

If we have m ways of doing one task and n ways of doing the second task, then the number of ways in which we can do both the tasks together is m×n.

Therefore, the number of different pizzas that can be made from the given choices is

N=3\times2\times4=24.

Thus, the total number of  pizzas that can be made from the given choices is 24.

Simplify the expression (128x^5/8x)^1/2
solong [7]

Answer: 4x'6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify x5 /8. Than, Equation at the end of step  1  :   x5   ——) • x)1) ÷ 4   8  

Step  2  :  2.1     16 = 24  (16)1 = (24)1 = 24  2.2    x6 raised to the 1 st power = x( 6 * 1 ) = x6

Step  3  :     24x6  Simplify   ————    4  

Dividing exponents :   3.1    24   divided by   22   = 2(4 - 2) = 22

which brings us to our final answer above
