Consider the sequence of numbers: 3/8, 3/4, 1 /18, 1 1/2, 1 7/8

vredina [299]

Question:

Consider the sequence of numbers: $\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}$

Which statement is a description of the sequence?

(A) The sequence is recursive, where each term is 1/4 greater than its preceding term.

(B) The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n) + 3/8 .

(C) The sequence is arithmetic, where each pair of terms has a constant difference of 3/4 .

(D) The sequence is arithmetic and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n)3/8.

Answer:

Option B:

The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

$f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8} .$

Explanation:

A sequence of numbers are

$\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}$

Let us first change mixed fraction into improper fraction.

$\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{9}{8}, \frac{3}{2}, \frac{15}{8}$

To find the pattern of the sequence.

To find the common difference between the sequence of numbers.

$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{6}{8}-\frac{3}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{9}{8}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{6}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{3}{2}-\frac{9}{8}=\frac{12}{8}-\frac{9}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{15}{8}-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{15}{8}-\frac{12}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

Therefore, the common difference of the sequence is 3.

That means each term is obtained by adding $\frac{3}{8}$ to the previous term.

Hence, the sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function $f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8} .$

8 1/4 is given as a positive number so you could write it as +8 1/4

The opposite of positive is negative, so you would have -(+8 1/4)

The answer is A

A cooler contains ten bottles of sports drink: four lemon-lime flavored, three orange-flavored, and three fruit-punch flavored.

Alika [10]

Since there are a total of 10 bottles, the probability of getting a certain one is based on the number of those bottles in the cooler.

The probability of getting a lemon-lime flavored drink is 4/10 or 40%.

The probability of getting a orange flavored drink is 3/10 or 30%

The probability of getting a fruitpunch flavored drink is also 3/10 or 30%.

If the question is asking what the probability is of choosing lemon-lime, fruit punch and fruit punch again in that order, you would multiply the probabilities together.

.4 * .3 * .3 = .036, so there’s a 3.6% chance of picking these exact 3 flavors happening again.

I need this answer as soon as possible will give brain thing

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: X=5 so whats 3 + 5? easy, 8. so now you know the bottom is eight and since it's a rectangle the top is also 8. And the left side is 15 so we know the right side is also 15. To find the perimeter you add all the sides of which in this case it would be 8 + 8 + 15 + 15. or (8 times 2) + (15 times 2). = 46 the answer is 46
