The function that best defines this arithmetic sequence is:

  • f(n) = f(n - 1) - 4, f(1) = 9

<h3>What is an arithmetic sequence?</h3>
  • In an <em>arithmetic sequence,</em> the <u>difference between consecutive terms is always the same</u>, called common difference d.

The recursive function that defines the sequence is:

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

f(1) = f_0

  • In which f_0 is the first term.

In this problem, the sequence is: {9, 5, 1, -3}

  • Each term is the previous term subtracted by 4, hence d = -4.
  • The first term is 9, hence f_0 = 9.

Hence, the function is:

  • f(n) = f(n - 1) - 4, f(1) = 9

To identify the functions which best define the given sequence, we have to identify the number pattern.

The correct option is (a).

Given:

The given sequence is as follows,

9,5,1,-3

<h3>What is an arithmetic sequence?</h3>

The arithmetic sequence define as the difference between two consecutive number would be same.

If we subtract 4 form each digit we will get next digit.

9-4=5\\5-4=1\\1-4=-3

So the function would be,

f(1) = 9, f(n + 1) = f(n) -4; \rm for \:n\geq 1

The option (b) and (d) show the increasing function whereas we have decreasing sequence.

Thus, the correct option is (a).

Find the sum that amounts to Rs 9,144 in 3 years at 9% per year simple interest.​
Hunter-Best [27]

Given:

Amount = Rs. 9,144

Time = 3 years.

Rate of simple interest = 9%

To find:

The principal value.

Solution:

The formula for simple interest is:

I=\dfrac{P\times r\times t}{100}

Where, P is principal, r is the simple rate of interest, and t is the number of years.

Putting r=9,t=3 in the above formula, we get

I=\dfrac{P\times 9\times 3}{100}

I=\dfrac{27P}{100}

I=0.27P

We know that,

\text{Amount}=\text{Principal + Interest}

9144=P+0.27P

9144=1.27P

Divide both sides by 1.27, we get

\dfrac{9144}{1.27}=P

7200=P

Therefore, the principal value is Rs. 7200.
