Answer:

1.6627 (money wise, $1.66)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since its 130%, you know there was already a whole increase. So first you would do 1.279 + 1.279, which would give you 2.558. Then you need to calculate 30% of 1.279 for the rest of the increase. That gives you 0.3837 Add 2.558 and 0.3837 together, which would give you 2.9417. To get the INCREASE, you would have to subtract the new total from the original price, so 2.9417 - 1.279. This would give you 1.6627.

State whether each sequence is arithmetic and justify your answer. If the sequence is arithmetic, write a recursive and an expli
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Part A

f(n)=52-12(n-1)

f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}52\: \:if \: \:n=1 & \\f(n+1)+12& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right.

Part B

(2,4,8,16,32)\: \: Geometric Sequence

Part C

1/4,3/4,5/4,7/4,9/4

g(n)=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}(n-1)\\f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1/4if \: \:n=1 & \\ f(n+1)+2/4& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right

Part D:

h(n)=1.1+0.4(n-1)\\h(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1.1 & if\:n=1 \\ h(n+1)+0.4 & if\:n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, an Arithmetic Sequence holds the same difference between each following number.

Part A

(52,40, 28, 16)\\52-40=12\\40-28=12\\28-16=12\\d=12

<u>Explicit Formula</u>

To write an explicit formula is to write it as function.

f(n)=52-12(n-1)

<u>Recursive Formula</u>

To write it as recursive formula, is to write it as recurrence given to some restrictions:

f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}52\: \:if \: \:n=1 & \\f(n+1)+12& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right.

Part B

(2,4,8,16,32)\: \:

Geometric Sequence, since 2*2=4 8*2=16 and 16*2=32 and 8+2=10 8+16=24

Part C

(\frac{1}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{5}{4},\frac{7}{4},\frac{9}{4})\\\

Arithmetic Sequence, difference

d=\frac{2}{4}

<u>Explicit Formula:</u>

g(n)=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}(n-1)

<u>Recursive Formula</u>

g(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\frac{1}{4} &if\:n=1 \\ g(n+1)+\frac{2}{4} &if\: n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right.

Part D

(1.1,1.5,1.9,2.3,2.7) Arithmetic Sequence, difference d=0.4

<u>Explicit formula</u>

h(n)=1.1+0.4(n-1)\\

<u>Recursive Formula</u>

h(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1.1 &if\:n=1 \\ h(n+1)+0.4 &if\: n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right.

What happens when you multiply both numerator and denominator by 4?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The answer stays the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if you have 1/2 and multiply the numerator and the denominator by 4, you get 4/8. 4 divided by 8 still gives you 1/2.

The answer please for my online class
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

B. -500

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{(2a^4)^2}{a^0a^5} =

= \dfrac{2^2a^8}{a^5}

= 4a^3

= 4(-5)^3

= 4(-125)

= -500
