Answer: Choice D
This basically says "the nth term is found by computing math, aka evaluating some function, based on the (n-1)th term".
As an example, we could have a function that simply squares the input
Let's say we started at 5. It squares to 25 which in turns squares to 625, and so on. Each new term is based on the old term. Namely, we squared the old n-1 term to get the new nth term.
20.5 is the answer, have a great day!
Our P = 100, r = .08, n = 1 (annually means once a year), and t = 15. Filling in accordingly, we have
. Simplifying a bit gives us
and
. Raising that number inside the parenthesis to the 15th power gives us
. Multiplying to finish means that A(t) = $317.22
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for the value of x so that the function has the given value in the following:
1) h(x) = -7x; h(x)=63
From the function given above,
If h(x) = 63, then,
h(x) = 63 = -7x
-7x = 63
Dividing the left hand side and right hand side of the equation by -7, it becomes
-7x/-7 = 63/-7
x = - 9
2) m(x) = 4x + 15; m(x)=7
From the function given above,
If m(x) = 7, then,
m(x) = 7 = 4x + 15
7 = 4x + 15
4x = 15 - 7 = 8
Dividing the left hand side and right hand side of the equation by 4, it becomes
4x/4 = 8/4
x = 2
3) q(x) = 1/2x - 3; q(x) = -4
From the function given above,
If q(x) = - 4, then,
q(x) = - 4 = 1/(2x - 3) =
Cross multiplying,
-4(2x-3) = 1
-8x +12 = 1
Collecting like terms,
-8x = 1 - 12
-8x = -11
Dividing the left hand side and right hand side of the equation by -8, it becomes
-8x/8 = -11/-8
x = 11/8
Answer: 5/9
explanation: the coefficient is in front of the variable x, which is 5/9
