Express the terms of the following sequence by giving a recursive formula.
emmasim [6.3K]

The recursive formula for given sequence is: a_n = a_{n-1}-7

And the terms will be expressed as:

a_1 = 11\\a_2 = a_{2-1} - 7 \\a_2= a_1 - 7\\a_2 = 11- 7\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = a_{3-1} - 7 \\a_3= a_2 - 7\\a_3 = 4 - 7\\a_3 = -3\\a_4 = a_{4-1} - 7 \\a_4= a_3 - 7\\ a_4= -3 - 7\\a_4 = -10\\a_5 = a_{5-1} - 7 \\a_5= a_4 - 7\\a_5 = -10 - 7\\a_5 = -17\\

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we have to determine if the given sequence  is arithmetic sequence or geometric. For that purpose, we calculate the common difference and common ratio

Given sequence is:

11,4,-3,-10,-17...

Here

a_1 = 11\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = -3\\So,\\d = a_2 - a_1 = 4-11 = -7\\d = a_3-a_2 = -3-4 = -7

As the common difference is same, given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

A recursive formula is a formula that is used to generate the next term of the sequence using the previous term and common difference

So, the recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

a_n = a_{n-1} +d\\Putting\ d = -7\\a_n = a_{n-1}-7

Hence,

The recursive formula for given sequence is: a_n = a_{n-1}-7

And the terms will be expressed as:

a_1 = 11\\a_2 = a_{2-1} - 7 \\a_2= a_1 - 7\\a_2 = 11- 7\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = a_{3-1} - 7 \\a_3= a_2 - 7\\a_3 = 4 - 7\\a_3 = -3\\a_4 = a_{4-1} - 7 \\a_4= a_3 - 7\\ a_4= -3 - 7\\a_4 = -10\\a_5 = a_{5-1} - 7 \\a_5= a_4 - 7\\a_5 = -10 - 7\\a_5 = -17\\

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The Answer is: x / y = 8 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 2) - 4(2y - 1) + 2=0

3x - 6 - 8y + 4 + 2 = 0

3x - 8y = 0

3x = 8y

3x/y = 8

x / y = 8 / 3

Hope this Helps! Have an Awesome Day!! (-:
