1. We have to find the fifth term of f(n) = 7 - 4(n - 1).
That means x = 5. Substitute 5 into the equation for x.
f(n) = 7 - 4(5 - 1)
Subtract 5 - 1.
f(n) = 7 - 4(4)
Multiply 4 by 4.
f(n) = 7 - 16
Subtract 16 from 7.
f(n) = -9
The answer is D.
2. Since we have to find the first 4 terms, we have to solve for x = 1, 2, 3, & 4.
Multiply 1, 2, 3, and 4 by 6. We now have:
f(x) = 6 - 25 f(x) = 12 - 25 f(x) = 18 - 25 f(x) = 24 - 25
Subtract 25 from the first term: 6, 12, 18, and 24.
f(x) = -19 f(x) = -13 f(x) = -7 f(x) = -1
The answer is C.
3. Now, we have to find the first 3 terms of f(x) = 10(2)^x. So x is 1, 2, & 3.
Raise 2 to the powers of 1, 2, and 3. The equations are now:
f(x) = 10(2) f(x) = 10(4) f(x) = 10(8)
Then multiply 10 by the three terms: 2, 4, and 8.
f(x) = 20 f(x) = 40 f(x) = 80
The answer is A.
4. Find the 21st term of f(n) = 2 + 9(n - 1). Substitute 21 for n.
f(n) = 2 + 9(21 - 1)
Subtract 1 from 21.
f(n) = 2 + 9(20)
Multiply 9 by 20.
f(n) = 2 + 180
Add 2 to 180.
f(n) = 182
The answer is B.
5. Which sequence is described by f(n) = 2(3)^x-5.
This is the only one which I'm not sure how to solve. Since I don't know, I won't answer it because I don't want to give you the wrong answer to the question, sorry about that.
6. The ninth term in f(n) = 384(1/2)^n-1. Put 9 in for n & subtract 1 from 9.
f(n) = 384(1/2)^8
Raise 1/2 to the power of 8.
f(n) = 384(1/256)
Multiply 1/256 by 384.
f(n) = 384/256
Reduce the fraction & make it a mixed number.
f(n) = 1 1/2
Hope this helped!
Answer: 80 cookies
Step-by-step explanation: He had to bake 240 cookies and on Monday he baked have of them which is 120 cookies. Then on Tuesday he baked a third of the remaining so if the baked 120 and has to bake 240 he still has to bake 120 now 1/3 * 120 = 40 so he baked 40 cookies on Tuesday on Wednesday he still has to bake the reaming cookies so 120 + 40 = 160 and 240 - 160 = 80 so on Wednesday he has to bake 80 cookies.
Hey there!
I think that it safe to say that this room is a rectangular prism. Therefore, the top and bottom (floor and ceiling) have the same area. We see that our floor dimensions are 12 cm long and 7 cm wide. This also applies to the ceiling. Let’s take our two sides and multiply then to find our area.
12(7)=84
Therefore, the area is 84 square centimeters.
I hope that this helps!
Same thing as before!
First, we can get rid of d(x) simply by looking at it because we can tell it's linear (it's a straight line). If we look at the table, we can see a(x) is also linear because it has a steady rate of growth. b(x) and c(x) both represent exponential growth. The curved shape of b(x) shows us this is exponential growth, and the exponent in c(x) tells us it's also exponential.
