Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

11, 13, 15, 17, 19, ...

Determining the Recursive formula:

We know that a recursive formula is termed as a formula that specifies each term of the given sequence using the preceding terms.

From the given sequence it is clear that every term can be obtained by adding two to the previous term.

i.e. 13 = 11+2, 15 = 13+2, 17 = 15+2, 19 = 17+2

so

aₙ₊₁ = aₙ+2, for n ≥1

Therefore, a recursive formula is:

  • aₙ₊₁ = aₙ+2, for n ≥1

Determining the Explicit formula:

Given the sequence

11, 13, 15, 17, 19, ...

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference 'd' and is defined by  

a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d

computing the differences of all the adjacent terms

3-11=2,\:\quad \:15-13=2,\:\quad \:17-15=2,\:\quad \:19-17=2

The difference between all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

d=2

also

a_1=11

so substituting d=2, a_1=11 in the nth terms

a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d

a_n=2\left(n-1\right)+11

a_n=2n+9

Therefore, the Explicit formula is:

a_n=2n+9

Solve: x^2 – 16x + 63 < 0 ​
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

7 < x < 9

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 – 16x + 63 < 0

this is a parabola that opens up.

The parabola will be < 0 for values between the roots.

to picture this see the graph below.

Factor

(x - 7)(x - 9) < 0

Roots

x = {7, 9}

solution

7 < x < 9

A triangle has an area of 36 cm². The base and height are scaled by a factor of 5.
ahrayia [7]
Triangle Area = .5 * (base * height)
36 = (base * height) / 2
So let's say base = 9 height 8
If base and height are scaled by a factor if 5 than
base = 45 height 40 and
area = .5 * (45 * 40)
area = 900

Basically, the area increases by a factor of 25.
The base increases by 5 and the height increases by 5 so the area increases by 5*5 = 25

HELP ME PLEASE MATH <br> Which graph represents the following system of inequalities?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

y > 5x-1, because it is just a greater than sign, the shaded area would be to the left of a dotted line.

y ≤ x +3, because the sign is less than or equal to, the line is solid and the shaded area would be to the right.

Combine the shaded areas would make Graph B. the correct answer.
