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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Licemer1 [7]2 years ago
7 0

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..

There are two parking garages in beacon falls . Garage a charges $7.00 to park for the first 2 hours ,and each additional hour c
Julli [10]

Answer

Find out the number of hours when the cost of parking at both garages will be the same.

To prove

As given

There are two parking garages in beacon falls .

As given

Let us assume that the y is representing the  cost of parking at both garages will be the same.

The total number of hours is represented by the x.

First case

Garage a charges $7.00 to park for the first 2 hours ,and each additional hour costs $3.00 .

As  garage charges $7.00 for the first 2 hours so the remaning hours are (x -2)

Than the equation becomes

y = 3.00 (x -2) + 7.00

written in the simple form

y = 3x - 6 +7

y = 3x + 1

Second case

Garage b charges $3.25 per hour to park.

than the equation becomes

y = 3.25x

Compare both the equations

3x +1 = 3.25x

3.25x -3x = 1

.25x = 1

x = \frac{1}{.25}

x = 4hours

Therefore in the 4 hours  the cost of parking at both garages will be the same.

Find the diameter of a circle with an area of 6767 square centimeters.
scZoUnD [109]
  • Area=6767cm²

Diameter be d

Radius be r

  • πr²=6767
  • r²=6767/π
  • r²=2155
  • r=46.4cm

Diameter=2r=46.4(2)=92.8cm

___ cosb =1/2 sin(a+b)+sin(a-b)?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

That would be sina.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(a+b) = sinacosb + cosasinb

sin(a-b) = sinacosb -  cosasinb

Adding we get  sin(a+b) + sin(a-b) = 2sinaccosb

so sinacosb = 1/2sin(a+b) + sin(a-b)
