The value of a3 for the given recursive pattern is 446

<h3>Sequence</h3>

A sequence can either follow an arithmetic progression or geometric progression or none

<h3>The terms</h3>

The given parameters are:

a_1 = 4

a_n = (a_{n-1})^2 + 5

Start by calculating a2

a_2 = (a_{2-1})^2 + 5

a_2 = (a_1)^2 + 5

Substitute 4 for a1

a_2 = 4^2 + 5

a_2 = 21

Next, calculate a3

a_3 = (a_{3-1})^2 + 5

a_3 = (a_{2})^2 + 5

Substitute 21 for a2

a_3 = 21^2 + 5

a_3 = 446

Hence, the value of a3 is 446

Which of these is the standard form of the following function?
Nady [450]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = - 9(x + 5)² + 4 ← expand parenthesis using FOIL

     = - 9(x² + 10x + 25) + 4 ← distribute parenthesis by - 9

     = - 9x² - 90x - 225 + 4 ← collect like terms

     = - 9x² - 90x - 221 ← in standard form

Mona wrote 7 tests, and her test average is 93. There will be one more test before the end of the year. What is the lowest grade
olga55 [171]
For this case, the first thing we are going to do is assume that all the tests are worth the same.
 Then, we define a variable:
 x: score of Mona's last test
 We write now the inequality that models the problem:
 \frac{93 + x}{2}  \geq  90
 From here, we clear the value of x: 93 + x  \geq  90*(2) &#10;&#10;93 + x  \geq  180&#10;&#10; x  \geq  180 - 93&#10;&#10; x  \geq  87
 Answer:
 
the lowest grade that Mona can get for her last test so that her test average is 90 or more is:
 
x = 87

What is the rate of change for the linear relationship modeled in the table? (4 points)
lozanna [386]

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In a linear relationship, the rate of change of one variable with respect to the other is <em>constant</em>. When we talk about <em>change</em>, we're looking for a <em>difference</em> of values.

If we look at the first and second rows, the change in x is 1 - (-1) = 2, while the change in y is 9 - 10 = -1. Usually we refer to these changes as Δx and Δy (read like "delta-x" and "delta-y"), and the <em>rate of change </em>is the number we get by dividing one of these by the other.

The rate of change we're used to seeing, sometimes called the <em>slope</em>, is Δy/Δx. So, using the values we've already found:

\Delta{x}=2\\\Delta{y}=-1\\\Delta{y}/\Delta{x}=-1/2
