Part A:
Write a recursive relationship for this sequence. Explain how you determined your answer.

Part B:
Write an explicit formula for this sequence.

Answers

Answer 1
To find the recursive rule u have to find r so first so u have to divide the 2nd term by the 1st term to get r so it would be -6 divided by 2 which equals -3 then u have to plug in r with -3 so this is how it’s done so f(n)= f(n-1)•r then plug in r with -3 so then to find the explicit rule u have to plug in f(1) with your 1st term which is 2 and plug in r with -3 so f(n)= 2•(-3)n-1

Berto invested in a precious mineral. The value of the mineral tends to increase by about 11% per year. He invests $40,000 in 2015.

How much more will his investment be worth in 2020?



Enter your answer in the box.

Round to the nearest whole dollar.

Answers

Answer:

$27402.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Berto invested in a precious mineral. The value of the mineral tends to increase by about 11% per year. He invests $40,000 in 2015.

Let us write a function using our given information for the value of minerals.

We are told that the value of minerals increase by 11% every year, so our function will be an exponential function.

Since an exponential function is in form: [tex]y=a*b^x[/tex]; for growth b=(1+r), where r is rate of growth in decimal form.

a= Initial value.  

Let us convert our given rate in decimal form.

[tex]11 percent= \frac{11}{100}=0.11[/tex]

Let G(t) be the growth of minerals t years after 2015.

Upon substituting our given values we will get our function as: [tex]G(t)=40,000*(1+0.11)^t[/tex]

[tex]G(t)=40,000*(1.11)^t[/tex]    

To find the value of Berto's investment in year 2020 by substituting t=5 in our function as 2020-2015=5.

[tex]G(2020)=40,000*(1.11)^5[/tex]

[tex]G(2020)=40,000*1.6850581551[/tex]

[tex]G(2020)=67402.326204\approx 67402[/tex]    

Therefore, the value of his investment in 2020 will be $67402.

Let us find the difference of values of minerals between 2020 and 2015.

67402-40000=27402

Therefore, Berto's investment will be worth $27402 in 2020.

The rectangle below has an area of x^2-6x-7x 2 ?6x?7 square meters and a width of x-7x?7 meters. What expression represents the length of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x+1[/tex] meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the length of rectangle.

We have been given that the rectangle has an area of [tex]x^{2}-6x-7[/tex] square meters and a width of [tex]x-7[/tex] meters.

Since we know that area of rectangle is the product of its length and width.

[tex]\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{Width* Length}[/tex]

[tex]\text{ Length}=\frac{\text{Area of rectangle}}{\text{Width}}[/tex]

To find the length of our given rectangle we will divide area of rectangle by width of our rectangle.

[tex]L=\frac{x^2-6x-7}{x-7}[/tex]

Let us factor out our numerator by splitting the middle term.

[tex]L=\frac{x^2-7x+x-7}{x-7}[/tex]

[tex]L=\frac{x(x-7)+1(x-7)}{x-7}[/tex]

[tex]L=\frac{(x-7)(x+1)}{x-7}[/tex]

Upon cancelling out x-7 from numerator and denominator we will get,

[tex]L=(x+1)[/tex]  

Therefore, the length of our rectangle will be [tex]x+1[/tex] meters.

Joey chestnut is trying to break his own world record for eating the most hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. He needs to eat more than 72 hot dogs to break his record. After 1 minutes of competition, Joey has eaten 10 hot dogs. Joey wants to know the number of hot dogs per minute that he need to eat for the next 9 minutes to break his own record.

Answers

Answer:

Joey needs to eat 7 hot dogs per minute to break his own record in next 9 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joey needs more than 72 hot dogs in 10 minutes to break his own record.That means Joey needs to eat at least 73 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

After 1 minute Joey has eaten = 10 hot dogs.

In remaining 9 minutes balance hot dogs = 73-10 =63

Therefore per minute hot dogs to be eaten = 63/9 =7

So answer is 7 hot dogs per minute to be eaten.

Joey needs to eat  7.00 hot dogs per minute for the next 9 minutes to break his own record.

To break his record, Joey Chestnut needs to eat more than 72 hot dogs in 10 minutes. After the first minute, he has already eaten 10 hot dogs. So, he has 9 minutes left to eat the remaining hot dogs needed to break the record, which is 72 - 10 = 62 hot dogs.

To find out how many hot dogs per minute Joey needs to eat for the next 9 minutes, we divide the remaining number of hot dogs by the remaining time:

Hot dogs per minute = Remaining hot dogs / Remaining time

Hot dogs per minute = 62 hot dogs / 9 minutes

Hot dogs per minute ≈ 6.89 hot dogs per minute

Therefore, Joey needs to eat  7.00 hot dogs per minute for the next 9 minutes to break his own record.

It's important to note that Joey needs to eat more than this calculated rate per minute to ensure he breaks his record, as he cannot consume a fraction of a hot dog. So, he should aim to eat at least 7 hot dogs per minute to secure his victory.

Which expression is equivalent to the square root of -80?

Answers

Answer:

sqrt(-80) = 4sqrt(5)i

Step-by-step explanation:

Likely a list of answers should be provided. There are all kinds of possible answers (well 2 perhaps).

Begin by factoring 80 into prime factors.

80: 2*2*2*2*5

For ever pair of 2s, one can be taken outside the square root sign. The other one just disappears.

sqrt(80) = sqrt(2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5)

For every pair 2 is taken out of the root sign and the other forgotten

sqrt(2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5) = 2 * 2 * sqrt(5) = 4 sqrt(5)

The sqrt(-80) = 4sqrt(5)*sqrt(-1)

There is no real number that can be written as the sqrt(-1). So a number has been defined into existence. sqrt(-1) = i It's a definition, not a real number.

So the end result is sqrt(-80) = 4sqrt(5)i

Ryan has three sticks of lengths 6 inches, 10 inches, and 8 inches. He wants to join the three sticks to form a right triangular base for a model. Discuss whether these sticks form a right triangle. EXPLAIN

Answers

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

for the sticks to form a right triangle, the 3 sticks' lengths must comply w the Pythagoras theorem: hypothesis^2 = first side^2 + second side^2

hypothesis is the longest length so its 10

10^2 = 100 = 36 + 64 = 6^2 + 8^2

so the 3 sticks will form a right triangle

Answer:

6^2+8^2=10^2 so yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to test a triangle with lengths 6, 8 and 10 inches is right-angle or not, the Pythagoras equation should be used: a^2+b^2=c^2.

As 6^2+8^2=10^2 so yes, the three sticks will form a right-angle triangle.
