Answer: 8.9 units (choice C)

Explanation:

We plug $(x_1,y_1) = (7,-1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (-1,3)\\\\$ into the distance formula to get the following

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(7-(-1))^2 + (-1-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(7+1)^2 + (-1-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(8)^2 + (-4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{64 + 16}\\\\d = \sqrt{80}\\\\d \approx 8.94427\\\\d \approx 8.9\\\\$

What is the recursive of this:

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

$a_n=a_{n-1}+2^{n-1}\ \ n>1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recursive Sequence

We are given the following sequence:

-1, 1, 5, 13...

It's required to find the recursive term for the sequence.

A recursive formula calculates each term as a function of one or more previous terms.

To find the recursive formula, we must find a pattern and transform it into a math expression.

Let's write the sequence, and below it, the difference of consecutive terms:

-1, 1, 5, 13...

+2, +4, +8

Note the difference between consecutive terms is always a power of 2, starting from 2^1, 2^2, 2^3.

The exponent is one less than the number of the term, thus:

$a_n-a_{n-1}=2^{n-1}$

Thus:

$\mathbf{a_n=a_{n-1}+2^{n-1}\ \ n>1}$

Testing:

n=1

$a_1=-1$ (given).

n=2

$a_2=a_{1}+2^{2-1}=-1+2^{1}=1$

n=3

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

n=4

$a_4=a_{3}+2^{4-1}=5+2^{3}=13$

PLS HELP RN <br> $4000 student loan. 10% compound interest annually. Total loan amount by 4 years?

ddd [48]

Answer:

$2,400

Step-by-step explanation:

We get 10% of 4,000 by dividing 4,000 by 10.

4,000 ÷ 10 = 400

To get the amount that 4,000 is subtracted by we multiply 400 by 4.

400 × 4 = 1,600

To get the answer we subtract 4,000 by 1,600.

4,000 - 1,600 = 2,400

Hope I helped!
