Given a2 = 15 and a5= -3,240 of a geometric sequence, what is the recursive equation for the nth term

Answer:

  a[1] = -5/2

  a[n] = -6·a[n-1]

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for the n-th term is ...

  an = a1(r^(n-1))

We can use this to find the common ratio, r.

  a2 = 15 = a1·r^(2-1) = a1·r

  a5 = -3240 = a1·r(5-1) = a1·r^4

Dividing the second equation by the first gives ...

  -3240/15 = (a1·r^4)/(a1·r)

  -216 = r^3 . . . . simplify

  -6 = r . . . . . take the cube root

The first term is ...

  15 = a1·(-6)

  a1 = 15/-6 = -5/2

__

The entire recursive formula for the sequence is ...

  a[1] = -5/2 . . . . . . . . . . the initial condition

  a[n] = -6·a[n-1] . . . . . . the recursion relation

The daily production cost, C, for x units is modeled by the equation:
tiny-mole [99]

First find the domain(the set of all first coordinates in a function) by finding where the equation(a mathematical statement that says two expressions have the same value; any number sentence with an = sign) is defined.

After that you should know what to do. I don't know how to work this problem cuz i'm barely in 9 grade. But somehow, I know this.

(−∞,∞)

{x|x∈R}

If this helped, please let me know and give me brainliest, please!!

If this is incorrect, please let me know so I can fix it!
