Find the recursive rule, explicit rule, and f(20)

Mathematics
1 answer:
DiKsa [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Recursive:

f(1)=35, f(n)=f(n-1)+10

Explicit:

f(n)=35+10(n-1)

And the 20th term is 225.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the sequence:

35, 45, 55, 65.

Notice that each subsequent term is 10 more than the previous term.

Therefore, our common difference is (+)10.

Recursive Rule:

The standard format for the recursive rule is:

f(n)=a, f(n)=f(n-1)+d

Where a is the initial term and d is the common difference.

From our sequence, we know that a the initial term is 35.

And as determined, our common difference d is 10.

Substitute. Hence, our recursive rule is:

f(1)=35, f(n)=f(n-1)+10

Explicit Rule:

The standard format for the explicit rule is:

f(n)=a+d(n-1)

Where a is the initial term and d is the common difference. So, let’s substitute 35 for a and 10 for d. Hence, our explicit formula is:

f(n)=35+10(n-1)

Now, let’s find the 20th term. We will utilize the explicit rule since the recursive rule can get tedious. Substitute 20 for n because we would like to 20th term. Thus:

f(20)=35+10(20-1)

Evaluate:

\begin{aligned} f(20)&=35+10(19) \\ f(20)&=35+190 \\ f(20)&=225 \end{aligned}

Hence, the 20th term is 225.

Which of the following sets could be the sides of a right triangle?
coldgirl [10]

Answer: Choice B) {3, 5, sqrt(34)}

=====================================

Explanation:

We can only have a right triangle if and only if a^2+b^2 = c^2 is a true equation. The 'c' is the longest side, aka hypotenuse. The legs 'a' and 'b' can be in any order you want.

-----------

For choice A,

a = 2

b = 3

c = sqrt(10)

So,

a^2+b^2 = 2^2+3^2 = 4+9 = 13

but

c^2 = (sqrt(10))^2 = 10

which is not equal to 13 from above. Cross choice A off the list.

-----------

Checking choice B

a = 3

b = 5

c = sqrt(34)

Square each equation

a^2 = 3^2 = 9

b^2 = 5^2 = 25

c^2 = (sqrt(34))^2 = 34

We can see that

a^2+b^2 = 9+25 = 34

which is exactly equal to c^2 above. This confirms the answer.

-----------

Let's check choice C

a = 5, b = 8, c = 12

a^2 = 25, b^2 = 64, c^2 = 144

So,

a^2+b^2 = c^2

25+64 = 144

89 = 144

which is a false equation allowing us to cross choice C off the list.
