Answer:
g(n) = g(n-1) -15
g(1) = -65
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the recursive formula from the explicit formula for this arithmetic sequence by substituting 1 and (n+1) for n in the explicit formula.
__
g(n+1) = -50 -15(n+1) = (-50 -15n) -15 . . . . . find g(n+1)
g(n+1) = g(n) -15
and ...
g(1) = -50 -15(1) = -65
Then the recursive formula can ge written as ...
g(n) = g(n-1) -15
g(1) = -65
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
We found g(n+1) = g(n) -15. Substituting n-1 for n in this formula puts it in the form we need for answering the question:
g((n-1)+1) = g(n-1) -15
g(n) = g(n -1) -15
Either of these forms tells you how to get the next term from the previous one.
Answer:
1,047
Step-by-step explanation:
n = distance from Boston to St. Louis
2410 is 230% of n
2410 = 2.3n
2410/2.3 = n
1,047 miles = n
Answer:
3x + y = 9.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The equation of a line is in the form of y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. Write the given values in that form.
y = -3x + c
2) Find the value of k by using the following formula: m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1. We already know m.
-3 = 8 - k / k - 3
-3(k - 3) = 8 - k
-3k + 9 = 8 - k
-3k + k = 8 - 9
-2k = -1
k = -1/-2
k = 1/2
3) Therefore, a line with gradient of - 3 passes through the points (3, 1/2) and (1/2, 8). We can find the y-intercept (c). To do so, choose one of the coordinates and substitute.
y = -3x + c
1/2 = -3(3) + c
1/2 = -9 + c
1/2 + 9 = c
9.5 = c
Completed equation of the line: y = -3x + 9.5
4) Write it in the form of ax + by = c.
3x + y = 9.5
the pattern is
x multiplied by 3, plus one
so 20 x 3 +1
=61
you can immediately eliminate options 2 and 3 because volume doesn't require width or fencing
volume would be the capacity (or how much something can hold) so it is the first option
