Answer:
See definition below
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have to give a recursive definition, we must give a initial value f(0). Additionally, the value of f(n) must depend on the value of f(n-1) for all n≥1.
The required value of f(0) is (0+1)!=1!=1.
Now, the factorial itself is a recursive function, because (n+1)!=(n+1)n!. In terms of f, this means that f(n)=(n+1)f(n-1) for all n≥1.
Then, our definition is: f:N→N is defined by
- f(0)=1.
- For n≥1, f(n)=(n+1)f(n-1).
Turn it into an improper fraction: 23/8 <span>÷ 11/3
Keep the 23/8, change the division sign to a multiplication, and flip the 11/3 so now it's: </span>23/8 x 3/11
Then multiply them to get the
Answer: 69/88
Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
106, it can be divided but it is not an even number. it has a decimal. the answer to 106/4 is 26.5:) hope this helped1
