A sequence can be generated by using fn = 2f(n-1)+1, where f1 = 4 and n is a whole number greater than 1. What are the first four terms in the sequence?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

{9,19,39,79}

Step-by-step explanation:

Recursive Sequences

The recursive sequence can be identified because each term is given as a function of one or more of the previous terms. Being n an integer greater than 1, then:

f(n) = 2f(n-1)+1

f(1) = 4

To find the first four terms of the sequence, we set n to the values {2,3,4,5}

For n=2

f(2) = 2f(1)+1

Since f(1)=4:

f(2) = 2*4+1

f(2) = 9

For n=3

f(3) = 2f(2)+1

Since f(2)=9:

f(3) = 2*9+1

f(3) = 19

For n=4

f(4) = 2f(3)+1

Since f(3)=19:

f(4) = 2*19+1

f(4) = 39

For n=5

f(5) = 2f(4)+1

Since f(4)=39:

f(5) = 2*39+1

f(5) = 79

An ant with a mass of 4 x 10-6 kg is carrying a bread crumb back to its anthill . The bread crumb has a mass of 8 x 10-5 kg. The mass of the bread crumb is how many times the mass of the ant?​

Answers

Answer:

Mass of bread crumb is 20 times the mass of the ant..

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of an ant = [tex]4\times 10^{-6}[/tex] kg

Ant carries a weight of bread crumb to its anthill.

Mass of the bread crumb = [tex]8\times 10^{-5}[/tex] kg

Ratio of their masses,

[tex]\frac{\text{Mass of the ant}}{\text{Mass of bread crumb}}=\frac{4\times 10^{-6}}{8\times 10^{-5}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\text{Mass of the ant}}{\text{Mass of bread crumb}}=\frac{1}{2\times 10^{(-5+6)}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\text{Mass of the ant}}{\text{Mass of bread crumb}}=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]

Mass of the bread crumb = 20×(Mass of the ant)

Therefore, mass of the bread crumb is 20 times the mass of the ant.

If 20 percent of the initial price was 5, you can create the equation:

0.2x=5, with x being the regular price.

Multiply both sides by 5:

x=25

Answer:

25$

Step-by-step explanation:

20/100 can be rounded down to 1/5 meaning all you have to do is multiply 5 by 5

5 times 5 is 25

Think About the Process The length of a rectangle is twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 9

square units. Notice that you can divide the rectangle into two squares with equal area. How can you

estimate the side length of each square? Estimate the length and width of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

The side length of each square is 2.12 units.

The length ad width of the rectangle are 2.12 and 4.24 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle is x,

So, the length of the rectangle is 2x.

Area of the rectangle = 9 sq. units

[tex]9 = 2x \times x[/tex] [as area = length x width]

[tex]\Rightarrow 9 = 2x^2[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x^2 = \frac{9}{2}=4.5[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x = 1.5\sqrt{2}=2.12[/tex] units

So, width of the rectangle, x= 2.12 units and

the llengthof the rectangle, 2x= 2 x 2.12= 4.24 units.

After division of the rectangle into two equal square, so, the area of each square will be half of the area of the rectangle.

The area of the rectangle = 9/2=4.5 square units.

Let a be the length of the sides of the square, so

Area [tex]= a^2[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow a^2=4.5[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] [tex]a = 1.5\sqrt{2}=2.121[/tex]

Hence, the side length of each square = 2.12 units.

Which description could be written as a linear function?

b) three more than the product of two numbers
c) ten more than the square of a number
d) nine more than one divided by a number

Answers

Question:

Which description could be written as a linear function?

Answer:

Option a)

Explanation:

Let 2 numbers be x1 and x2.

For the first option:

Eight more than twice a number.

The graph would be y = 8 + 2x1 which is a linear function.

For the second option:

Three more than the product of two numbers.

The graph would be y = 3 + x1x2 which is a graph function.

For the third option:

Ten more than the square of a number.

The graph would be y = 9 + (x1)² which is a graph function.

For the fourth option:

Nine more than one divided by a number.

The graph would be y = 9 + 1/x1 which is a double-parabole function.

A contractor purchases ceramic tile to remodel a kitchen floor. Each tile cost $4 and the adhesive/grouting material costs $17.82. If the contractor pays a total of $545.82 how many ceramic tiles did the contractor purchase

Answers

Answer:

132 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Each tile cost $4

The adhesive/grouting material costs $17.82.

If the contractor pays a total of $545.82

Let the number of tiles be represented as x

The equation is represented as:

$17.82 + $4 × x = $545.82

17.82 + 4x = 545.82

Collect like terms

4x = 545.82 - 17.82

4x = 528

Divide bother sides by 4

4x/4 = 528/4

x = 132

The number of ceramic tiles the contractor bought = 132 tiles

One of the wagers in roulette is to bet that the ball will stop on a number that is a multiple of 3. (Both 0 and 00 are not included.) If the ball stops on such a number, the player wins double the amount bet. If a player bets $5, compute the player's expectation. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The player's expectation is a loss of 20 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a game of roulette, there are 38 slots where the ball can stop.

The slots are numbered as follows: {0, 00, 1, 2, 3 ..., 36}.

So, N = 38.

The slots which are multiples of 3 are:

S = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33 and 36}

So, n (S) = 12.

Let X = the ball stops on a number that is a multiple of 3

The probability that the ball stops on a number that is a multiple of 3 is:

[tex]P(X)=\frac{n (S)}{N}=\frac{12}{38}=0.32[/tex]

It s provided that the player wins double the amount bet if the ball stops on a number that is a multiple of 3.

Compute the player's expectation as follows:

[tex]E(X)=\sum X\cdot P(X)[/tex]

        [tex]=(\$10\times 0.32)+(-\$5\times (1-0.32))\\\\=\$3.20-\$3.40\\\\=-\$0.20[/tex]

Thus, the player's expectation is a loss of 20 cents.

Together, Linda and Penny sold 492 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. Penny
sold 48 more boxes than Linda. How many boxes did Linda sell?

Answers

Answer:

222

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = number of boxes Linda sold.

Let P = number of boxes Penny sold.

The sold a total of 492 boxes.

L + P = 492

Penny sold 48 more boxes than Linda.

P = L + 48

Substitute P with L + 48 in the first equation and solve for L.

L + L + 48 = 492

2L + 48 = 492

2L = 444

L = 222

Answer: Linda sold 222 boxes.

Check:

Penny sold 48 more boxes, so she sold 222 + 48 = 270.

Add the numbers they sold: 222 + 270 = 492

The difference is 48, and the total is 492. Our answer is correct.
