Here are some values of sequence Q. Write a recursive definition for the sequence.

n Q(n)
1 3
3 8
7 18​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 values of the sequence Q(n)

These values are:

Q(1) = 3

Q(3) = 8

Q(7) = 18

I would think that this is a geometric sequence.

Remember that the equation for the n-th term of a geometric sequence is:

A(n) = A(1)*r^(n-1)

where r is a constant, and A(1) is the first term of the sequence.

If we rewrite the terms that we know of Q(n) in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1)*r^(3 - 1) = 3*r^2 = 8

Q(7) = Q(1)*r^(7 - 1) = 3*r^6 = 18

Then we have two equations:

3*r^2 = 8

3*r^6 = 18

We should see if r is the same for both equations:

in the first one we get:

r^2 = 8/3

r = (8/3)^(1/2) = 1.63

and in the other equation we get:

r^6 = 18/3

r = (18/3)^(1/6) = 1.34

Then this is not a geometric sequence.

Now let's see if this is an arithmetic sequence.

The n-th term of an arithmetic sequence is written as:

A(n) = A(1) + (n - 1)*d

where d is a constant.

If we write the terms of Q(n) that we know in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1) + (3 - 1)*d = 3 + 2*d = 8

Q(7) = Q(1) + (7 - 1)*d = 3 + 6*d = 18

We need to see if d is the same value for both equations.

in the first one we get:

3 + 2*d = 8

2*d = 8 - 3 = 5

d = 5/2 = 2.5

In the second equation we get:

3 + 6*d = 18

6*d = 18 - 3 = 15

d = 15/6 = 2.5

d is the same for both terms, then this is an arithmetic sequence.

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between any two consecutive terms is always the same value (d)

Then the recursive relation is written as:

A(n) = A(n - 1) + d

Then the recursive relation for Q is:

Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5

if dy/dx = x(y-1), find the equation of the tangent line at x=-2 with f(-2)=3

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the tangent line passing through the point (-2,3) is

 4 x + y +5 =0

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the slope of the tangent

             [tex]m = \frac{dy}{dx} = x(y-1)[/tex]

             m = -2( 3-1) = -4

Given point x = -2

         y = f(-2) =3

∴The given point ( x₁ , y₁) = ( -2 ,3)

Step(ii):-

The equation of the tangent line passing through the point (-2,3)

[tex]y - y_{1} = m(x-x_{1} )[/tex]

[tex]y -3 = -4(x-(-2))[/tex]

y -3 = -4( x+2)

y-3 = -4x -8

4x + y -3+8=0

4x +y +5=0

Step(iii):-

The equation of the tangent line passing through the point (-2,3) is

  4 x + y +5 =0

A new car is purchased for $40,000 and over time its value depreciates by one half every 3 years. What is the value of the car 17 years after it was purchased, to the nearest hundred dollars?

Answers

Answer:

Value  of the car after depreciation = $800.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to get the final value of the car after depreciation of the car price,

Final value = [tex]\text{Initial value}(1-\frac{r}{100})^{\frac{t}{n} }[/tex]

Here, t = Number of years after the purchase

n = Number of years for the depreciation of price by half

By substituting values in the formula,

Final value = [tex]40000(1-\frac{50}{100})^{\frac{17}{3}}[/tex]

                  = [tex]40000(0.5)^{\frac{17}{3}}[/tex]

                  = $787.451

                  ≈ $800 [Nearest hundred dollars]

Therefore, after 17 years value of the new car will be $800.

Answer:

[tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Subtract x from both sides of the equation.

x - x + 3y = 10 - x

3y = 10 - x

Divide each term by 3.

[tex]\frac{3y}3y} = \frac{10}{3} + \frac{-x}{3}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-x}{3} + \frac{10}{3}[/tex]

Anyone who has ever tried to make anything with these kinds of tools knows how limiting they are: if you hit a piece of wood it either splinters, cracks, or snaps. The same is true of rock or bone. Metals are fundamentally different from these other materials because they can be hammered into shape: they flow, they are malleable. Not only that, they get stronger when you hit them; you can harden a blade just by hammering it. And you can reverse the process simply by putting metal in a fire and heating it up, which will cause it to get softer. The first people to discover these properties ten thousand years ago had found a material that was almost as hard as a rock but behaved like a plastic and was almost infinitely reusable. In other words, they had discovered the perfect material for tools, and in particular cutting tools like axes, chisels, and razors. This ability of metals to transform from a soft to a hard material must have seemed like magic to our ancient ancestors. *** In 1961 Professor Richmond from Oxford University discovered a pit that had been dug by the Romans in AD 89. It contained 763,840 small two-inch nails, 85,128 medium nails, 25,088 large nails, and 1,344 extra-large sixteen-inch nails. The hoard was of iron and steel and not gold, which most people would have found bitterly disappointing. But not Professor Richmond. Why, he asked himself, would a Roman legion bury seven tons of iron and steel? The legion had been occupying the advance headquarters of Agricola in a place called Inchtuthil in Scotland. This was at the outer reaches of the Roman Empire, and their mission was to protect its border from what they saw as the savage tribes who threatened it: the Celts. The legion of five thousand men occupied the region for six years before retreating and, in the process, abandoning their fort. They made great efforts to leave behind nothing that could help their enemies. They smashed all food and drink containers and burned the fort to the ground. But they werent satisfied with this. In the ashes were the steel nails that had held the fort together, and they were far too valuable to be left to the tribes that had driven them out. Iron and steel were the materials that enabled the Romans to build aqueducts, ships, and swords; they allowed them to engineer an empire. Leaving the nails to their enemies would have been as useful as leaving a cache of weapons, so they buried them in a pit before marching south. The reader can infer that the discovery of metal a) changed the face of hunting. B) happened as an accident. c) was the greatest discovery of all time. d) changed humanity forever. 2(y + 3) + 2(4 - y) HELP ME Fill in the blanks with NUMERICAL ANSWERS ONLY.
