Answer:

£714.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to set up expresssions for the two shares:

Let  x = the amount of one share.  The other share is 1785 - x.  <u>You don't have to worry about which is smaller--that part will work out automatically</u>!

The two shares are in the ratio of 2:3, so set up the proportion

\frac{x}{1785-x}=\frac{2}{3}

Again, you don't have to worry--you could set up the proportion "upside down" and everything will work out in the end.

Solve the proportion for  x  by "cross multiplying" -- use the Means-Extremes Property of proportions.

(3)(x)=(2)(1785-x)\\3x=3570-2x\\5x=3570\\x=714

So one share is £714£ and the other is £1785 - £714 = £1071.

The smaller share is £714.

Write a recursive formula for
algol13

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • a[1] = 3
  • a[n] = a[n-1] -7

Step-by-step explanation:

A recursive formula consists of two parts:

  • initialization (rule for the first term(s))
  • rule for the next term

When we look at the differences between terms in the sequence 3, -4, -11, ..., we find that they are constant at -7. That is each term can be found from the previous one by subtracting 7. This is our recursive rule. The first term is obviously 3, so the recursive formula is ...

  a[1] = 3

  a[n] = a[n-1] -7
