Answer:
9.233 ft, 23.233 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If the shorter leg is x, then the longer leg is x+14 and the Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
x^2 + (x +14)^2 = 25^2
2x^2 +28x +196 = 625
x^2 +14x = 214.5
x^2 +14x +49 = 263.5
(x +7)^2 = 263.5
x = -7 +√263.5 ≈ 9.23268
The two leg lengths are √263.5 ± 7 feet, {9.23 ft, 23.23 ft}.
Given:
The different recursive formulae.
To find:
The explicit formulae for the given recursive formulae.
Solution:
The recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence is and the explicit formula is
, where a is the first term and d is the common difference.
The recursive formula of a geometric sequence is and the explicit formula is
, where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.
The first recursive formula is:
for
.
It is the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence with first term 5 and common difference 5. So, the explicit formula for this recursive formula is:
Therefore, the correct option is A, i.e., .
The second recursive formula is:
for
.
It is the recursive formula of a geometric sequence with first term 5 and common ratio 3. So, the explicit formula for this recursive formula is:
Therefore, the correct option is F, i.e., .
The third recursive formula is:
for
.
It is the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence with first term 5 and common difference 3. So, the explicit formula for this recursive formula is:
Therefore, the correct option is D, i.e., .
