Find the first four terms of a sequence using the recursive definition. Please help

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ymorist [56]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

2, 5, 9, 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive formula f(n) = 2f(n - 2) + f(n - 1)

with f(1) = 2 and f(2) = 5

f(3) = 2f(3 - 2) + f(3 - 1)

     = 2f(1) + f(2) = (2 × 2) + 5 = 4 + 5 = 9

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

      = 2f(2) + f(3) = (2 × 5) + 9 = 10 + 9 = 19

41. Suppose a family drives at an average rate of 60 mi/h on the way to visit relatives and then at an average rate of 40 mi/h o
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let x represent the time taken to drive to see the relatives and let d be the distance travelled to go, hence:

60 mi/h = d/x

d = 60x

When returning, they still travelled a distance d, since the return trip takes 1 h longer than the trip there, therefore:

40 mi/h = d/(x+1)

d = 40(x + 1) = 40x + 40

Equating both equations:

60x = 40x + 40

60x - 40x = 40

20x = 40

x = 40/20

x = 2 h

The time taken to drive there = x = 2 hours

b) The time taken for return trip = x + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3 hours

c) The distance d = 60x = 60(2) = 120 miles

The total distance to and fro = 2d = 2(120) = 240 miles

The total time to and fro = 2 h + 3 h = 5 h

Average speed = total distance / total time = 240 miles / 5 h = 48 mi/h

the elevator of new orleans, louisiana is on average 8 ft below sea level. the elevation of EL Centro, california is 39ft below
Svetllana [295]
The difference in elevation equals subtraction. In other words 39ft subtracted by 8ft equals 31ft. So New Orleans, Louisiana is 31ft ABOVE sea level compared to EL Centro, California.
