Answer:
a[n] = a[n-1]×(4/3)
a[1] = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The terms of a geometric sequence have an initial term and a common ratio. The common ratio multiplies the previous term to get the next one. That sentence describes the recursive relation.
The general explicit term of a geometric sequence is ...
a[n] = a[1]×r^(n-1) . . . . . where a[1] is the first term and r is the common ratio
Comparing this to the expression you are given, you see that ...
a[1] = 1/2
r = 4/3
(You also see that parenthses are missing around the exponent expression, n-1.)
A recursive rule is defined by two things:
- the starting value(s) for the recursive relation
- the recursive relation relating the next term to previous terms
The definition of a geometric sequence tells you the recursive relation is:
<em>the next term is the previous one multiplied by the common ratio</em>.
In math terms, this looks like
a[n] = a[n-1]×r
Using the value of r from above, this becomes ...
a[n] = a[n-1]×(4/3)
Of course, the starting values are the same for the explicit rule and the recursive rule:
a[1] = 1/2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Linear function:
A linear function has the following format:

In which m is the slope and b is the q-intercept.
One week you charged $4 per guest and averaged 80 guests per night. The next week you charged $10 per guest and averaged 44 guests per night.
This means that we have these following points: (4,80), (10,44).
Finding the slope:
With a pair of points, the slope is given by the change in q divided by the change in p.
Change in q: 44 - 80 = -36
Change in p: 10 - 4 = 6
Slope: 
So

Finding b:
We replace one of the points. Replacing (4,80).



So

Given:
Kelly purchased 5 containers of ice cream for a party.
Each container holds 8 cups of ice cream.
Her brother ate 2 cups of ice cream.
One serving of ice cream = 2/3 of a cup.
To find:
Number of servings of ice cream will be left for the party?
Solution:
We have,
1 container = 8 cups of ice cream
5 containers = 5×8 = 40 cups of ice cream
Her brother ate 2 cups of ice cream. So, remaining cups of ice cream is
cups
Now,
of a cup = 1 serving
1 cup =
serving
38 cup =
serving
=
serving
= 57 serving
Therefore, 57 servings of ice cream will be left for the party.
