Consider the sequence 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, .... (a) Write a recursive rule to represent the sequence. (b) Write an explicit rule to represent the sequence. (c) Find the 15th term in the sequence.

Answers

Answer 1

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.

(a)

The recursive rule is ...

  a[1] = 3

  a[n] = 2×a[n-1]

__

(b)

The explicit rule is ...

  a[n] = a[1]×r^(n-1)

  a[n] = 3×2^(n-1)

__

(c)

The 15th term is ...

  a[15] = 3×2^(15-1) = 3×2^14

  a[15] = 49,152

D. 5/36

Answers

Answer:

D. 5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

In a small town, there are 4 times as many left-handed males as there are left-handed females, and there are 3 times as many right-handed females as there are right-handed males. There are a total of 204 males and 348 females in the town.

Let x represent the number of left-handed females, and let y represent the number of right-handed males. Write a system of equations to represent the situation. What is the value of x, the number of left-handed females?
6
24
96
108

Answers

Answer:

  (b)  24

Step-by-step explanation:

The given variable definitions and the given relationships let us write these statements:

  LH males = 4 × LH females = 4x

  RH females = 3 × RH males = 3y

  LH males + RH males = 204 = 4x +y

  RH females + LH females = 348 = 3y +x

Your favorite method of solving equations of this sort can tell you ...

  (x, y) = (24, 108)

There are 24 left-handed females.

__

Additional comment

Other numbers involved here are ...

  y = 108 . . . . right-handed males

  204-108 = 96 . . . . left-handed males (=4×24)

  348-24 = 324 . . . . right-handed females (=3×108)

__

If you want to solve the equations by hand, you can use substitution for y to get an equation in x:

  3(204 -4x) +x = 348   ⇒   -11x = -264   ⇒   x = 24

how to tell if something is cubed or squared being ft^3 or ft^2

Answers

Answer:

Check the power

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell if a quantity has been cubed or squared by looking at its power.

For example, ft^3 has a power of 3 (meaning feet is raised to 3) which means whichever number ft^3 is used with, has been cubed, generally volume of any shape

Similarly, ft^2 has a power of 2 (meaning feet is raised to 2) which means whichever number ft^2 is used with, has been squared, generally area of any shape

hello!

===========================================================

If something is squared, it's multiplied times itself 2 times.

Example:-

[tex]\bigstar\boxed{\pmb{4*4=4^2}}\longleftarrow\sf{4~squared~}[/tex]

You should also notice that the exponent of 4 is 2.

So if something is squared, its exponent is 2.

If something is cubed, it's multiplied times itself 3 times.

Example:-

[tex]\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{4*4*4=4^3}}\longleftarrow\sf{4~cubed}[/tex]

You should also notice that the exponent of 4 is 3.

So if something is cubed, its exponent is 3.

=======================================================

monthly premium for workers' compensation insurance?

Answers

Answer:

  $2,667.59

Step-by-step explanation:

The insurance premium is found by multiplying the payroll amount by the premium rate.

  ($15,738) × $16.95/$100 = $15,738 × 0.1695 ≈ $2,667.59

# Needed # Needed Total

Granny Smith 5

169
Red Delicious

95

Answers

Answer:

pie - 38

sauce - 37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For the Red Delicious apples you keep subtracting 5 from the total (95) and adding 1 to both of the total numbers of pies and apple-sauce. For the Granny Smith apples you keep subtracting 9 from the total and adding 1 to both of the total numbers of pies and apple-sauce until you get to 7 then you subtract 5 and 1 to the total of pies then you only have 2 left and that is half of the appl-sauce.

The value of x from the equation is 21 pies and the value of y from the equation is 16 batches of apple sauces

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the total number of apple pies be x

Let the number of batches of apple sauce be y

Now , the system of equations are

5x + 4y = 169   be equation (1)

3x + 2y = 95   be equation (2)

Multiply equation (2) by 2 , we get

6x + 4y = 190   be equation (3)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (3) , we get

x = 190 - 169

x = 21

Substitute the value of x in equation (2) , we get

3x + 2y = 95

3 ( 21 ) + 2y = 95

63 + 2y = 95

Subtracting 63 on both sides of the equation , we get

2y = 32

Divide by 2 on both sides of the equation , we get

y = 16

Therefore , the value of x and y are 21 and 16 respectively

Hence , the number of apple pies and apple sauces are 21 and 16 respectively
