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

In a school, there are 880 students in
total. If there is 20% more boys than
girls, find the number of boys and girls in the school​

Answers

Answer:

400 girls.

480 boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of girls is x then the number of boys is 1.2x, so we have:

x + 1.2x = 880

2.2x = 880

x = 880/2.2

= 400.

Girls = 400, boys = 1.2*400 = 480.

The system of linear inequalities of the given points is required.

The system of inequality is

[tex]x-3y\leq -9[/tex]

[tex]3x-y>2[/tex]

Points of the first line

[tex](0,3)[/tex]

[tex](3,4)[/tex]

The equation of the line is

[tex]y-3=\dfrac{4-3}{3-0}(x-0)\\\Rightarrow y-3=\dfrac{1}{3}x\\\Rightarrow y-\dfrac{1}{3}x=3\\\Rightarrow 3y-x=9\\\Rightarrow x-3y=-9[/tex]

Let us take a point above this line [tex](2,4)[/tex]

It is also a solid line.

[tex]2-3\times 4=-10<-9[/tex]

So, the inequality is [tex]x-3y\leq -9[/tex]

Points of the second line

[tex](0,-2)[/tex]

[tex](1,1)[/tex]

The equation of the second line is

[tex]y+2=\dfrac{1+2}{1-0}(x-0)\\\Rightarrow y+2=3x\\\Rightarrow 3x-y=2[/tex]

Let us take a point towards the right of the line [tex](2,2)[/tex]

[tex]3\times 2-2=4>2[/tex]

Since, the line is dashed the second inequality will be [tex]3x-y>2[/tex]

4) The path of a satellite orbiting the earth causes it to pass directly over two
tracking stations A and B, which are 60 km apart. When the satellite is on one side of
the two stations, the angles of elevation at A and B are measured to be 86.4 ° and
85 °, respectively.
Find how far the satellite is from station A and how high the satellite is above the
ground. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answers:

Satellite is approximately 2446.43 km from station A.Satellite is approximately 2441.61 km above the ground.

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

Explanation:

I'm assuming tracking stations A and B are at the same elevation and are on flat ground. In reality, this is likely not the case; however, for the sake of simplicity, we'll assume this is the case.

The diagram is shown below. Points A and B describe the two stations, while point C is the satellite's location. Point D is on the ground directly below the satellite. We have these lengths

AB = 60 kmAD = xCD = h

Focusing on triangle ACD, we can apply the tangent rule to isolate h.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = CD/AD

tan(86.4) = h/x

x*tan(86.4) = h

h = x*tan(86.4)

We'll use this later in the substitution below.

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

Now move onto triangle BCD. For the reference angle B = 85, we can use the tangent rule to say

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(B) = CD/DB

tan(B) = CD/(DA+AB)

tan(85) = h/(x+60)

tan(85)*(x+60) = h

tan(85)*(x+60) = x*tan(86.4) .............  apply substitution; isolate x

x*tan(85)+60*tan(85) = x*tan(86.4)

60*tan(85) = x*tan(86.4)-x*tan(85)

60*tan(85) = x*(tan(86.4)-tan(85))

x*(tan(86.4)-tan(85)) = 60*tan(85)

x = 60*tan(85)/(tan(86.4)-tan(85))

x = 153.612786190499

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

We'll use this approximate x value to find h

h = x*tan(86.4)

h = 153.612786190499*tan(86.4)

h = 2441.60531869599

h = 2441.61 km  is how high the satellite is above the ground.

Return to triangle ACD. We'll use the cosine rule to determine the length of the hypotenuse AC

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(A) = AD/AC

cos(86.4) = x/AC

cos(86.4) = 153.612786190499/AC

AC*cos(86.4) = 153.612786190499

AC = 153.612786190499/cos(86.4)

AC = 2446.43279498247

AC = 2446.43 km is the distance from the satellite to station A.

True or False

Answers

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = - 3 is a zero of the polynomial then f(- 3) = 0

f(x) = x³ + 7x² + 16x + 12

     = (- 3)³ + 7(- 3)² + 16(- 3) + 12

     = - 27 + 63 - 48 + 12

     = 0

Since f(- 3) = 0 then x = - 3 is a zero of the polynomial

9 sec x + 9 tan x = 9

Answers

Answer:

Lowest root is 0 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

divide through by 9:

sec x + tan x = 1

sec^2x = 1 + tan^2 x so

√(1 + tan^2x) + tanx = 1

√(1 + tan^2x)  = 1 - tanx

Squaring both sides:

1 + tan^2 x = 1 - 2 tanx + tan^2 x

1 = 1 - 2 tan x

2tanx = 0

x = 0 degree.

x=100/11, then use this in either original equation to find y.
