9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your recursive formula is ...

  a_1=2\\a_n=a_{n-1}^2-2

Using this to find a4, we get ...

  a_2=a_1^2-2=2^2-2=2\\a_3=a_2^2-2=2^2-2=2\\a_4=a_3^2-2=2^2-2=2\\\\\boxed{a_4=2}

When a number is increased by 2.8%, the result is 56. What is the original number to
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The original number was 54.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a number is increased by 2.8%, then it is 102.8% of it's original number.

In mathematics, "of" in virtually all cases means "multiplied by".

Therefore, we do the opposite:

1. Convert to a decimal.

102.8% = 1.028

2. Divide by the decimal.

56 \div 1.028 = 54.47

3. Round it to the nearest tenth.

54.47 rounds to 54.5.

Question Help The mean finish time for a yearly amateur auto race was 185.64 minutes with a standard deviation of 0.314 minute.
Inga [223]

Answer:

Sam has the more convincing victory with a greater Zscore value

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Year 1:

Mean finish time (m) = 185.64

Standard deviation (s) = 0.314

Sam's time (x1) = 185.29

Year 2:

Mean finish time (m) = 110.3

Standard deviation (s) = 0.129

Rita's time (x1) = 110.02

Zscore = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Sam's Zscore :

(185.29 - 185.64) / 0.314

= - 0.35 / 0.314

= −1.114649

= - 1.115

Rita's Zscore :

(110.02 - 110.3) / 0.129

= - 0.28 / 0.129

= −2.170542

= - 2.171

Sam has the more convincing victory with a greater Zscore value

Diego has $11 and begins saving $5 each week toward buying a new phone. At the same time that Diego begins saving, Lin has $60 a
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

1. It should be 7

2. They have $46

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You make a system of linear equations from this. So it would be y= 5x+11 where x is the number of weeks and y is the money. And the second linear equation is y=-2x+60. Then you substitute it. You make it 5x+11=-2x+60. Then you solve it normally and you got your answer but remember in this case they are asking for the x. So make sure to submit the x and not the y.

2. For this it is the same thing except they are asking for the y not the x.
