Answer:
a. a[1] = 3; a[n] = 2a[n-1]
b. a[n] = 3·2^(n-1)
c. a[15] = 49,152
Step-by-step explanation:
Each term of the given sequence is 2 times the previous term. (This description is the basis of the recursive formula.) That is, the terms of the given sequence have a common ratio of 2. This means the sequence is geometric, so the formulas for explicit and recursive rules for a geometric sequence apply.
The first term is 3, and the common ratio is 2.
<h3>(a)</h3>
The recursive rule is ...
a[1] = 3
a[n] = 2×a[n-1]
__
<h3>(b)</h3>
The explicit rule is ...
a[n] = a[1]×r^(n-1)
a[n] = 3×2^(n-1)
__
<h3>(c)</h3>
The 15th term is ...
a[15] = 3×2^(15-1) = 3×2^14
a[15] = 49,152
Answer:
180 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
From inspection of the diagram, the surface area is made up of the area of 4 congruent triangles and the area of one square.
Area of a square = x² (where x is the length of one side)
⇒ area of the square = 6² = 36 cm²
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height
⇒ area of one triangle = 1/2 x 6 x 12 = 36 cm²
Total surface area = 4 x area of one triangle + area of the square
= 4 x 36 + 36
= 144 + 36
= 180 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:
I'm a bit tired right now so I'm not going to explain it, but hopefully this still helps.
Goodluck with your schoolwork/homework.
