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

Mathematics

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.

Answer:

The answer to your questions is: 25 new teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

# of students = 2000

ratio = 3:80 teachers to students

New teachers = ?

Process

I suggest to use rule of three to solve this problem

                     3 teachers ----------------  80 students

                      x                ----------------  2000 students

                  x = (2000 x 3) / 80 = 75 teachers

               Number of initial teachers = 75

The ratio change to 1:20

                     1 teacher -------------------  20 students

                     x             -------------------   2000 students

                     x = (2000 x 1) / 20

                    x = 100 teachers

Number of new teachers = 100 - 75 = 25

liraira [26]
You would do 3x60=180 since there is 60 minutes in each hour then dives 180 and 20 which gives you 9 batches of cookies. Hope this helps!
