Only when b = 0 or k = 1.

If f(x) = mx + b, then

f (kx) = m (kx) + b = mkx + b

while

k f(x) = k (mx + b) = kmx + kb

The two expression are identical only if

kb = b ===> kb - b = 0 ===> b (k - 1) = 0 ===> b = 0 or k = 1

The recursive rule for a sequence is shown.an=an−1+9a1=21 what is the explicit rule for this sequence?

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Meaning of Explicit rule , is the general rule for a sequence.

The given sequence is defined as,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+9a_{1}-21$ ----(1)

Common Difference(d) of an airthmetic Sequence= N th term - (N-1) th term

$=a_{n}-a_{n-1}\\\\=a_{n-1}-a_{n-2}$

Equation 1 can be written as,

$a_{n}-a_{n-1}=9 a_{1}-21\\\\ d =9a_{1}-21$

General rule or explicit rule for this sequence is given as:

$a_{n}=a_{1} +(n-1)d\\\\a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)(9a_{1}-21)\\\\a_{n}=a_{1}+9na_{1}-21 n-9a_{1}+21\\\\a_{n}=-8a_{1}+21+n(9a_{1}-21)$

Kacey had 48 tickets for games at the school carnival. She used 1/3 of her tickets to play the spin-the-wheel game. She used hal

vovangra [49]

Answer:

32 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, 1/3 of 48 is 16. So 48-16= 32. Usually, people think the remaining half is half of 48, but it's supposed to be half of 32. So half of 32 is 16. So Kacey used 32 tickets for those 2 games.
