If f(n) = f(n - 1) + 4, then

f(n - 1) = f(n - 2) + 4

and substituting this into the first equation gives

f(n) = f(n - 2) + 2•4

Similarly,

f(n - 2) = f(n - 3) + 4

so that

f(n) = f(n - 3) + 3•4

and so on.

Note the pattern:

f(n) = f(n - k) + k•4

so that when k = n - 1, we have

f(n) = f(n - (n - 1)) + (n - 1)•4

or

f(n) = f(1) + 4 (n - 1)

so that

[D] f(n) = -2 + 4 (n - 1)

Find the mean,median and range of the following list of values and choose the correct result.
Aloiza [94]

Mean: 10.5

Median: 10.5

Range: 5

--------------------------------------------

<u></u>

To find the mean you order the numbers then add then divide.

<u>Add</u>

8+9+10+10+10+11+11+11+12+13=105

<u>Divide</u>

105÷10=10.5

Mean = 10.5

--------------------------------------------

<u></u>

Finding the median essentially involves finding the value in a data sample that has a physical location between the rest of the numbers.

Find the middle number. Put your left finger on 8 and your right finger on 13. Move your left finger to the right to 10 and move your right finger to 11.

the middle number is 10.5 so therefore it is the median.

--------------------------------------------

<u></u>

To find the range you subtract the biggest number to the smallest number.

<u>Subtract</u>

13-8=5

Therefore 5 is the range

Write an equation of a line that passes through the point (4,3) and is perpendicular to the graph of the equation y=−13x+4y
stealth61 [152]
First start by writing th equation y=mx+b then because we know the slope (m) is perpendicular to the other line we can find it. so it would be the negative reciprocal to -13 which is 1/13 then you can use the slope and the x and y point and sub them into the equation to find the b value
y=3 x=4 m=1/13
3=1/13*4+b then solve for b
3=4/13+b
3-4/13=b
2.69=b
the write out the equation
y=1/13x+2.69
