What represents the recursive formula for the arithmetic sequence an=7-3(n-1)

Mathematics

Licemer1 [7]2 years ago

Answer:

\left\lbrace\begin{aligned}& a_{1} = 7 \\ & a_{n+1} = a_{n} - 3 && \text{for $n \ge 1$}\end{aligned}\right..

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence could be defined using only two pieces of information:

  • The first term of this sequence, a_{1}.
  • The common difference between two consecutive terms of this sequence, d.

The arithmetic sequence in this question is given in the explicit form, a_{n} = 7 - 3\, (n - 1), which is equivalent to a_{n} = 7 + (-3)\, (n - 1). In the explicit form, a_{1} and d are described in the same equation:

\text{$a_{n} = a_{1} + d\, (n - 1)$ for $n \ge 1$}.

Compare a_{n} = a_{1} + d\, (n - 1) with a_{n} = 7 + (-3)\, (n - 1): a_{1} = 7 whereas d = -3.

When an arithmetic sequence is given in the recursive form, a_{1} and d are specified in two separate equations:

\left\lbrace\begin{aligned}& a_{1} = a_{1} \\ & a_{n+1} = a_{n} + d && \text{for $n \ge 1$}\end{aligned}\right..

In this question, it was found that a_{1} = 7 whereas d = -3. Hence, the corresponding recursive formula for this arithmetic sequence would be:

\left\lbrace\begin{aligned}& a_{1} = 7 \\ & a_{n+1} = a_{n} + (-3) && \text{for $n \ge 1$}\end{aligned}\right..

andre [41]

Answer:

Games played= 21 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Peyton's field hockey team wins 4 games out of every 7 games played.

We know that Peyton's team loses 3 games out of 7.

So if the team lost 9 games, the proportion is completed 3 times.

Games played= 3*7= 21 games

ind the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 12 cm. Approximate as 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest hundredth
Bezzdna [24]
The surface area of a sphere is:

A=4πr^2, if r=12 and π is approximated as 3.14 then

A≈4(3.14)(12^2)

A≈4(3.14)(144)

A≈576(3.14)

A≈1808.64 cm^2
