Answer:

Kaitlin's answer is wrong because she is supposed to by dividing. When trying to get rid of a number from a variable you have to divide the number by itself and whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other side

so you would do 5/5 - cancels out

15/5=3

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

have a great day :D

A grade has 81 girls and 72 boys. The grade is spilt into groups that have the same ratio of boys to girls as the whole grade. H

MariettaO [177]

There are 81 girls to every 72 boys in total, which can be represented by 81/72, which put into decimal form, is 1.125. If you then take the number of boys in the group, 16, and multiply it by this number (because the problem states that the ratio is constant) you can find the number of girls in the group.

16*1.125=18

So there are 18 girls in a group with 16 boys.

For the parent function y=√x what effect does a value of k = -3 have on the graph?

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Vertical shift of 3 units down ⇒ last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the translation of a function

- If the function f(x) translated horizontally to the right

by h units, then the new function g(x) = f(x - h)

- If the function f(x) translated horizontally to the left

by h units, then the new function g(x) = f(x + h)

- If the function f(x) translated vertically up

by k units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) + k

- If the function f(x) translated vertically down

by k units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) – k

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The parent function y = √x

∵ There is a translation by k = -3

- From the rules above k is for the vertical translation

∵ k = -3

- That means the parent function translated 3 units down

∴ The value of k = -3 makes the graph of the parent function translated

3 units down

- For more understand look to the attached graph

# y = √x ⇒ the red graph

# y = √x - 3 ⇒ the blue graph

Question 2 of 5

AlekseyPX

Given:

The different recursive formulae.

To find:

The explicit formulae for the given recursive formulae.

Solution:

The recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence is $f(n)=f(n-1)+d, f(1)=a,n\geq 2$ and the explicit formula is $f(n)=a+(n-1)d$ , where a is the first term and d is the common difference.

The recursive formula of a geometric sequence is $f(n)=rf(n-1), f(1)=a,n\geq 2$ and the explicit formula is $f(n)=ar^{n-1}$ , where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The first recursive formula is:

$f(1)=5$

$f(n)=f(n-1)+5$ for $n\geq 2$ .

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:

$f(n)=5+(n-1)(5)$

$f(n)=5+5(n-1)$

Therefore, the correct option is A, i.e., $f(n)=5+5(n-1)$ .

The second recursive formula is:

$f(1)=5$

$f(n)=3f(n-1)$ for $n\geq 2$ .

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:

$f(n)=5(3)^{n-1}$

Therefore, the correct option is F, i.e., $f(n)=5(3)^{n-1}$ .

The third recursive formula is:

$f(1)=5$

$f(n)=f(n-1)+3$ for $n\geq 2$ .

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:

$f(n)=5+(n-1)(3)$
