Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

A recursive formula allows any term in the sequence to be found by adding the common difference d to the previous term.

Here d = - 4 , then recursive formula is

$a_{n}$ = $a_{n-1}$ - 4 with a₁ = 2

(b)

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 2 and d = - 4, thus

$a_{n}$ = 2 - 4(n - 1) = 2 - 4n + 4 = 6 - 4n ← explicit formula

(c)

Using the recursive formula

a₁ = 2

a₂ = 2 - 4 = - 2

a₃ = - 2 - 4 = - 6

Using the explicit formula

a₅ = 6 - 4(5) = 6 - 20 = - 14

a₁₀ = 6 - 4(10) = 6 - 40 = - 34

a₁₀₀ = 6 - 4(100) = 6 - 400 = - 394

Factorize (X + 2 y)square - (2 x minus y) square

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

- (x - 3y)(3x + y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 2y)² - (2x - y)² ← expand both parenthesis using FOIL

= x² + 4xy + 4y² - (4x² - 4xy + y²) ← distribute

= x² + 4xy + 4y² - 4x² + 4xy - y² ← collect like terms

= - 3x² + 8xy + 3y² ← factor out - 1 from each term

= - 1(3x² - 8xy - 3y²) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the coefficient of the y² term which sum to give the coefficient of the xy- term.

product = 3 × - 3 = - 9 and sum = - 8

The factors are - 9 and + 1

Use these factors to split the xy- term

3x² - 9xy + xy - 3y² ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(x - 3y) + y(x - 3y) ← factor out (x - 3y) from each term

= (x - 3y)(3x + y)

Thus

(x + 2y)² - (2x - y)² = - (x - 3y)(3x + y)

Y + 1 1/6 = 7 5/6 what is Y

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

6 $\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

y + 1 $\frac{1}{6}$ = 7 $\frac{5}{6}$

y + $\frac{7}{6}$ = $\frac{47}{6}$

y = 40/6 = 20/3 = 6 $\frac{2}{3}$

Emma was about to finish grocery shopping when she noticed that cans of soup were on sale. Her total bill for groceries would be

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

3rd option: B(C)= 1.79C +86.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bill

= cost of cans(number of cans) +cost of other groceries

Let the cost of other groceries be G, and the cost of cans be X.

Given that number of cans= C,

Total bill= XC +G

If 2 cans were purchased,

2X+G= 89.61 -----(1)

If 5 cans were purchased,

5X +G= 94.98 -----(2)

(2) -(1):

(5X +G) -(2X +G)= 94.98 -89.61

5X +G -2x -G= 5.37

3X= 5.37

X= 5.37 ÷3 (÷3 on both sides)

X= 1.79

Subst. X= 1.79 into (1):

2(1.79) +G= 89.61

3.58 +G= 89.61

G= 89.61 -3.58 (-3.58 on both sides)

G= 86.03 (simplify)

Total bill

= XC +G

= 1.79C +86.03

Thus, the function is B(C)= 1.79C +86.03.

10 < 0.25 ( x + 1 ) < 11

AURORKA [14]

10 <0.25 (x + 1) <11
We must solve two inequalities in this case.
Inequality 1:
10 <0.25 (x + 1)
10 / 0.25 <x + 1
40 <x + 1
40-1 <x
39 <x
Inequality 2:
0.25 (x + 1) <11
(x + 1) <11 / 0.25
(x + 1) <44
x <44-1
x <43
The final result is:
39 <x <43
Answer:
39 <x <43

Suppose that $6500 is placed in an account that pays 17% interest compounded each year. Assume that no withdrawals are made from

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: $7,605

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of 1 years, the amount in the account will be:

= Principal * (1 + rate)^ no. of periods

= 6,500 * (1 + 17%)

= $7,605
