Recursive
formula is one way of solving an arithmetic sequence. It contains the initial
term of a sequence and the implementing rule that serve as a pattern in finding
the next terms. In the
problem given, the 6th term is provided, therefore we can solve for the initial
term in reverse. To make use of it, instead of multiplying 1.025, we should divide it after
deducting 50 (which supposedly is added).
<span>
Therefore, we perform the given formula: A (n) = <span>1.025(an-1) +
50
</span></span>a(5) =1.025 (235.62) + 50 = 291.51
a(4) = 1.025 (181.09) + 50 = 235.62
a(3) = 1.025 (127.89) + 50 = 181.09
a(2) = 1.025 (75.99) + 50 = 127.89
a(1) = 1.025 (25.36) + 50 = 75.99
a(n) = 25.36
The terms before a(6) are indicated above, since a(6) is already given.
So, the correct answer is <span>
A. $25.36, $75.99.</span>
Answer:
Around 0.22
<u>FIRST THOUGH, I FEEL LIKE 90 MIGHT HAVE MEANT TO BEEN 0.9, SO IF SO SUBSTITUTE THE 90 BELOW FOR 0.9!</u>
<u></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so first.
Company A will be 50 a day plus 0.4 a mile
Company B will be 30 a day plus 90 per mile
We can write an equation like this:
50 + 0.4m = 30 + 90m
m = miles they are the same
Then we solve for m.
50 + 0.4m = 30 + 90m
- 0.4m - 0.4m
50 = 30 + 89.6m
- 30 - 30
20 = 89.6m
Divide both sides by 89.6
Around 0.22!
Answer:
x = 5
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
just substitute the value of one variable into the other
-x +y = -1
or y = -1 +x <-------- (i just added x to the right side)
now u know what y is equal to, just substitute that value into the first equation
2x - (-1+x) = 6 <-------- instead of y, i put the value of y from the 2 equation
NOW SOLVE FOR X!
2x +1 -x = 6
x + 1 = 6
x = 5
now solve for y since you have the value of x
y = -1 + x
or y = -1 + 5
y = 4
