I'd suggest you sketch this situation. If you did, you'd likely see right away that the shortest distance back to the starting point would be the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs are of lengths 5 miles and 12 miles.
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this.
Answer:
1) 36
b) 5
c) 3.0
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The recursive formula that defines the given sequence is

That means we keep adding 4 to the subsequent terms:
The sequence will be:
12,16,20,24,28,32,36,...
Therefore the seventh term is 36.
2) The sequence is recursively defined by;

This means, we have to keep subtracting 5 from the subsequent terms.
The sequence will be;
20,15,10,5,...
Therefore the fourth term is 5
3) The sequence is recursively defined by:
f(n+1)=f(n)+0.5
where f(1)=-1.5
This means that, the subsequent terms can be found by adding 0.5 to the previous terms.
The sequence will be:
-1.5,-1.0,-0.5,0,0.5,1,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,....
Therefore f(10)=3.0
Answer:
17%
Step-by-step explanation:
Again, as the amount of years increase, the population of bees gets multiplied by 0.83. We can rewrite this to 83%, and then again rewrite this to 100%-17%. We can see now that the population of bees decreases by 17% each year.
The range of a data set is the greatest value minus the smallest value.
The greatest value here is 32, and the smallest value is 27:
64 is able to be divided by 2 and 16
