Answer:

  a. a[1] = 3; a[n] = 2a[n-1]

  b. a[n] = 3·2^(n-1)

  c. a[15] = 49,152

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term of the given sequence is 2 times the previous term. (This description is the basis of the recursive formula.) That is, the terms of the given sequence have a common ratio of 2. This means the sequence is geometric, so the formulas for explicit and recursive rules for a geometric sequence apply.

The first term is 3, and the common ratio is 2.

<h3>(a)</h3>

The recursive rule is ...

  a[1] = 3

  a[n] = 2×a[n-1]

__

<h3>(b)</h3>

The explicit rule is ...

  a[n] = a[1]×r^(n-1)

  a[n] = 3×2^(n-1)

__

<h3>(c)</h3>

The 15th term is ...

  a[15] = 3×2^(15-1) = 3×2^14

  a[15] = 49,152

HELPPP I NEED THE ANSWER FAST PLEASEEE Shirley is buying a $27 scarf. If the sales tax is 7.25% and she hands the cashier $30, h
Elodia [21]
Hi, I think the answer should be $4.26

7.25% × $24 = $1.74

$24 +1.74 = $25.74

Change is the difference between the amount tendered and this total amount:

$30.00 -25.74 = $4.26

Someone please help me with this geometry proof question ASAP!
vivado [14]

Answer:

if ∠Q=∠R

draw an angular bisector from P to QR in which it intersect wit Qr at point S

now we have two triangle : QPS and RSP

in which angle : QPS=RPS ( PS is angular bisector)

and we have angle Q and angle R are equal

and PS is common side

this makes triangle QPS and RSP are congruent by AAS(angle angle side)

which also means that pQ=PR ( proved)

Find the distance between<br> (-1, - 3) and (8, – 3).
dimaraw [331]

Answer: d (A,B) = 9

Step-by-step explanation: d(A,B) = √(xB - xA)^2 + (yB - yA)^2

                                              d(A,B) = √(8-(-1))^2 + (-3 - (-3))^2

                                              d(A,B) = √81 + 0    

                                              d(A,B) = 9

What would be the value of 150 after eight years if you earn 12 percent interest per year
Monica [59]
The answer depends on what type of interest. If you are using compound interest, then the interest is different every year, as the amount you earn goes up because the amount you have in the bank goes up. Simple interest is the opposite, as you earn one amount each year, and it does not change.
So.....
Simple Interest:
0.12 * 150 = 18
18 * 8 = 144
144 + 150 = $294
Compound Interest:
150(1 + 0.12)^8
150 * 1.12^8
150 * 2.475 = $371
