Find the first four terms of the sequence<br> An=2a n-1,where a1=3

yKpoI14uk [10]

The first four terms of the sequence are 3 , 6 , 12 , 24

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the first four terms of the sequence $a_{n}=2a_{n-1}$

where $a_{1}=3$ to find them do that

Substitute n by 2 in the rule to find $a_{2}$
Substitute n by 3 in the rule to find $a_{3}$
Substitute n by 4 in the rule to find $a_{4}$

∵ $a_{n}=2a_{n-1}$

- Substitute n by 2 to find the 2nd term

∴ $a_{2}=2a_{2-1}$

∴ $a_{2}=2a_{1}$

∵ $a_{1}=3$

∴ $a_{2}=2(3)$

∴ $a_{2}=6$

- Substitute n by 3 to find the 3rd term

∴ $a_{3}=2a_{3-1}$

∴ $a_{3}=2a_{2}$

∵ $a_{2}=6$

∴ $a_{3}=2(6)$

∴ $a_{3}=12$

- Substitute n by 4 to find the 4th term

∴ $a_{4}=2a_{4-1}$

∴ $a_{4}=2a_{3}$

∵ $a_{3}=12$

∴ $a_{4}=2(12)$

∴ $a_{4}=24$

The first four terms of the sequence are 3 , 6 , 12 , 24

Beau's recipe for granola bars calls for 3 1/2 cups of oatmeal. He only has a 1/6 cup scoop. How many scoops of oatmeal will he

Drupady [299]

There will be $\boxed{\bf 21}$ scoops of oatmeal to complete the recipe.

Further explanation:

Given that Beau’s recipe of granola bars contains $3\frac{1}{2}$ cups of oatmeal.

Beau’s has only $\frac{1}{6}$ cup scoop.

Our aim is to find the number of scoops of oatmeal Beau’s needed to complete the recipe for granola bars.

Total cups of oatmeal are $3\frac{1}{2}$ .

First we have to convert the total cups of oat meal to proper fraction.

$\begin{aligned}\text{Cups of oatmeal for the recipe}&=\dfrac{(3\cdot 2)+1}{2}\\&=\dfrac{6+1}{2}\\&=\dfrac{7}{2}\end{aligned}$

There is only $\frac{1}{6}$ cup scoop.

Since there are $\frac{7}{2}$ cups of oatmeal and $\frac{1}{6}$ cup scoop, therefore, number of scoops required to complete the meal are calculated as follows:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Number of scoops required}&=\dfrac{\frac{7}{2}}{\frac{1}{6}}\\&=\dfrac{7}{2}\cdot 6\\&=7\cdot 3\\&=21\end{aligned}$

The total number of scoops is obtained in whole number; therefore, this is our final answer.

Therefore, $\boxed{\bf 21}$ scoops of oatmeal are needed by Beau’s to complete the recipe of granola bars.

What is the slope of the graph shown below?

oee [108]

Answer:

C. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this one is already graphed and we can see it clearely we can just count, but you can also do change in y over change in x (aka "rise over run") to find the slope.

So, we count and find it is four up and one over. 4/1 = 4 = c

Hope this helps, have a nice day! :)
