Consider the sequence of numbers: 3/8, 3/4, 1 /18, 1 1/2, 1 7/8

vredina [299]

Question:

Consider the sequence of numbers: $\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}$

Which statement is a description of the sequence?

(A) The sequence is recursive, where each term is 1/4 greater than its preceding term.

(B) The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n) + 3/8 .

(D) The sequence is arithmetic and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n)3/8.

Answer:

Option B:

The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

$f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8} .$

Explanation:

A sequence of numbers are

$\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}$

Let us first change mixed fraction into improper fraction.

$\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{9}{8}, \frac{3}{2}, \frac{15}{8}$

To find the pattern of the sequence.

To find the common difference between the sequence of numbers.

$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{6}{8}-\frac{3}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{9}{8}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{6}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{3}{2}-\frac{9}{8}=\frac{12}{8}-\frac{9}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{15}{8}-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{15}{8}-\frac{12}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

Therefore, the common difference of the sequence is 3.

That means each term is obtained by adding $\frac{3}{8}$ to the previous term.

Hence, the sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function $f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8} .$

What are the values of a and b?

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Small triangles are similar. Therefore, the sides are proportional

$\dfrac{a}{20}=\dfrac{20}{21}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$21a=(20)(20)$ <em>divide both sides by 21</em>

$a=\dfrac{400}{21}$

For b, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:

$b^2=\left(\dfrac{400}{21}\right)^2+20^2\\\\b^2=\dfrac{160000}{441}+400\\\\b^2=\dfrac{160000}{441}+\dfrac{176400}{441}\\\\b^2=\dfrac{336400}{441}\to b=\sqrt{\dfrac{336400}{441}}\\\\b=\dfrac{\sqrt{336400}}{\sqrt{441}}\\\\b=\dfrac{580}{21}$

Solve the equation. 2/3 - 4x 7/2= -9x+ 5/6 step by step

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: $\bold{x=\dfrac{11}{21}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$\dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{4x+7}{2}=-9x+\dfrac{5}{6}\\\\(6)\dfrac{2}{3}-(6)\dfrac{4x+7}{2}=-9x(6)+(6)\dfrac{5}{6}\qquad \text{(multiplied by LCD) }\\\\4 - 12x-21=-54x+5\qquad \text{(simplified)}\\\\-12x - 17 = -54x + 5\qquad \text{(added like terms)}\\\\42x-17=5\qquad \text{(added 54x to both sides)}\\\\42x = 22\qquad \text{(added 17 to both sides)}\\\\x=\dfrac{22}{42}\qquad \text{(divided both sides by 42)}\\\\x=\dfrac{11}{21}\qquad \text{(reduced the fraction)}$

NOTE: The sign between 4x and 7 is missing in the question you posted. I assumed it was 4x + 7 in order to solve the equation.

The price for a gallon of whole milk has increased from 2006 to 2008. from 2006 to 2007, the cost of whole milk increased by app

valkas [14]

You have the starting price of $1.99. To get the increased price, divide 1.99 by .56 (.56 is the decimal form of 56%). You would get $3.55. This is for the year 2007. So for 2008, divide 3.55 by .42. The answer is $8.45. You can check the answers by multiplying the answers you go the the percentage. Ex. 8.45* .42=3.55 (rounded)
