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

Mathematics

Licemer1 [7]3 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..

An adventurous dog strays from home, runs three blocks east, two blocks north, one block east, one block north, and two blocks w
Marrrta [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Distance = 360.55 m</u>

<u>Direction = North-East</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In the question,

The adventurous dog starts from O, say.

He moves 3 blocks East = 300 m

then,

2 blocks North = 200 m

1 block East = 100 m

1 block North = 100 m

2 blocks West = 200 m

So,

Distance of the Dog's <u>final position</u> from the <u>initial position</u><u>.</u>

OE is given by,

In triangle OLE, using Pythagoras theorem,

OE^{2}=OL^{2}+LE^{2}\\OE^{2}=(200)^{2}+(300)^{2}\\OE^{2}=40000+90000\\OE=360.55\,m

<em><u>Therefore, the distance of Dog from the Home is 360.55 m and the direction of Dog from Home is North-East.</u></em>

On a scale drawing, a bookshelf is 8 inches tall. The scale factor is 1/8. What is the height of the bookshelf?
lukranit [14]
8 inches = 1/8 of the real height of the book shelf
Multiply 8 by 8 because the question shows 1/8 of the book shelf
8x8=64
The book shelf is 64 inches.
Or 5 feet and 4 inches.

What is the vertex of y&lt;∣x−3∣+5​
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

(3, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is is the standard y=|x| except the values tells you that x shifts 3 (within the absolute value or parentheses x does the opposite) to the right and the y value shifts 5 up (numbers outside parentheses affects y and does what it says). You can try using a table of values then graphing to check your answer.
