f(1)=-12, f(n)=2f(n-1)
find first 4 terms

Answers

Answer 1
First four terms are:   -12, -24, -48, -96

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

Explanation:

The notation f(1) = -12 tells us that the first term is -12.

The equation f(n) = 2*f(n-1) indicates that we're multiplying the (n-1)th term by 2 to get the nth term. Basically we multiply each term by 2 to get the next term.

-12*2 = -24

-24*2 = -48

-48*2 = -96

So the first four terms are -12, -24, -48, -96.

-----------------------------------

Alternative Approach

f(1) = -12 .... first term

f(n) = 2*f(n-1) ... nth term recursive formula

f(2) = 2*f(2-1) ... plug in n = 2

f(2) = 2*f(1)

f(2) = 2*(-12) ... plug in f(1) = -12

f(2) = -24 ... second term

f(n) = 2*f(n-1) .... resetting for the next computation

f(3) = 2*f(3-1) ... plug in n = 3

f(3) = 2*f(2)

f(3) = 2*(-24)  ... plug in f(2) = -24

f(3) = -48 .... third term

f(n) = 2*f(n-1) ... one more reset

f(4) = 2*f(4-1) .... plug in n = 4

f(4) = 2*f(3)

f(4) = 2*(-48) ... plug in f(3) = -48

f(4) = -96 ... fourth term

We get the first four terms to be -12, -24, -48, -96, which was the same as earlier.

1. Delia purchased a new car for $23,350. This make and model straight line depreciates to zero after 13 years.
a. Identify the coordinates of the x- and y- intercepts for the depreciation equation.
b. Determine the slope of the depreciation.
c. Write the straight-line depreciation equation that models this situation.

Answers

Answer:

a. y-intercept = 23350 and x-intercept = 13

b. [tex]m = -\frac{23350}{13}[/tex]

c. [tex]y = -\frac{23350}{13}x + 23350[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Years = 13[/tex]

[tex]Total\ depreciation = \$23350[/tex]

Solving (a): The x and y intercepts

The y intercept is the initial depreciation value

i.e. when x = 0

This value is the value of the car when it was initially purchased.

Hence, the y-intercept = 23350

The x intercept is the year it takes to finish depreciating

i.e. when y = 0

From the question, we understand that it takes 13 years for the car to totally get depreciated.

Hence, the x-intercept = 13

Solving (b): The slope

The slope (m) is the rate of depreciation per year

This is calculated by dividing the total depreciation by the duration.

So:

[tex]m = \frac{23350}{13}[/tex]

Because it is depreciation, it means the slope represents a deduction.

So,

[tex]m = -\frac{23350}{13}[/tex]

Solving (c): The straight line equation

The general format of an equation is:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Where

[tex]m = slope[/tex]

[tex]b = y\ intercept[/tex]

In (a), we have that:

[tex]y\ intercept = 23350[/tex]

In (b), we have that:

[tex]Slope\ (m) = -\frac{23350}{13}[/tex]

Substitute these values in [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

[tex]y = -\frac{23350}{13}x + 23350[/tex]

Hence, the depreciation equation is: [tex]y = -\frac{23350}{13}x + 23350[/tex]

if a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 120 lb and 161 lb witha mean of 130 and 27.3

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the weight of a randomly selected pilot is between 120 lbs. and 161 lbs. is 0.52.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = weight of pilots.

It is provided that X follows a normal distribution with mean, μ = 130 lbs. and standard deviation, σ = 27.3 lbs.

Compute the probability that the weight of a randomly selected pilot is between 120 lbs. and 161 lbs. as follows:

[tex]P(120<X<161)=P(\frac{120-130}{27.3}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{161-130}{27.3})\\\\=P(-0.37<Z<1.14)\\\\=P(Z<1.14)-P(Z<-0.37)\\\\=0.87286-0.35569\\\\=0.51717\\\\\approx 0.52[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the weight of a randomly selected pilot is between 120 lbs. and 161 lbs. is 0.52.

Find the scale factor then multiply 3 by scale factor to find m. Scale factor is found by dividing larger side by smaller side. In this example, divide 10 by 6. (10 / 6 = 1.66666...) This means the larger triangle is 1.6x bigger than the smaller one. Then multiply 3 by 1.6666.. to find m. Hope this helps! :)

There is -70% change when value change from 10 to 3.

What is percentage?

Percentage is a part of the whole number. It is denoted by % sign.

1 %= 1/100.

The original value is 10,

The value is change to 3

The difference of changed value and original value =  3 - 10 = -7

The percentage of change = (-7/10)x100

                                             = -70%

The change in percent is -70%, negative sign shows that value decreases.

How many calories are in 15 grams of ice cream?

Answers

Answer:

35 Calories

Step-by-step explanation:

15 is 1/4 of 60

60/15 = 4

140/4 = 35

Since 15 is 1/4 the size of 60, the number of calories will be 1/4 the amount as well. That is why you divide 140 by 4 to find the total calories for the mass of 15.

Remember that whole numbers that are next to each other, for example, 2 and 3, or 43, 44, and 45 are called consecutive numbers.


If n is the larger of two consecutive numbers, write an expression for the other number.

Answers

Given:

Whole numbers are next to each other and they are called consecutive numbers.

To find:

The expression for the other number if the larger of two consecutive numbers is n.

Solution:

According to the given definition, whole numbers are next to each other and they are called consecutive numbers. It means the difference between two consecutive interest is 1.

Larger number - Small number = 1

[tex]n-\text{Smaller number}=1[/tex]

Add smaller number on both sides.

[tex]n=1+\text{Smaller number}[/tex]

Subtract 1 from both sides.

[tex]n-1=\text{Smaller number}[/tex]

Therefore, the expression for the other number is n-1.
