The first four terms of a sequence are shown below:9, 5, 1, −3

Which of the following functions best defines this sequence? (5 points)


A f(1) = 9, f(n + 1) = f(n) − 4; for n ≥ 1
B f(1) = 9, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 4; for n ≥ 1
C f(1) = 9, f(n + 1) = f(n) − 5; for n ≥ 1
D f(1) = 9, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 5; for n ≥ 1

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the sequence:

9,5,1,-3

We can clearly see that the next digit is four less than the previous digit.

Here first term that is a=9

So, the function would be:

f(1)=9; f(n+1)=f(n)-4\text{for}n\geq1

Therefore. option A is correct.

Option B and D are not correct because function is decreasing not increasing.

Option C is not correct because decreasing by 4 not 5.

The solution to the system shown is _____.
(0, k)
(2, 2)
(k, 0)

Answers

Answer:

(k,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=k

x-y=k

To solve for x  and y we add both equations

x+y=k

x-y=k

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

2x=2k

Divide both sides by 2

x=k

Now plug in k for x and find out y

x+y=k

k+y=k

Subtract k on both sides

y=0

Ordered pair is (x,y) that is (k,0)
Hello,
Adding the 2 equations,
x+y+x-y=k+k ==>2x=2k==>x=k
if x=k, y=k-k=0
solution is (k,0)

A las 9 de la mañana,la temperatura en Valcorto era de -8 grados . A las 12 horas era dos grados mayor ,a las 15 horas tres grados mas que a las 12 ,y a las 21 horas nueve grados menos que a las 15 ¿que temperatura habia cada hora citada?

Answers

Answer:

T_(9hr)=-8 C

T_(12hr)=-6 C

T_(15hr)=-3 C

T_(21hr)=-12 C

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial temperature at 9 am:

T_(9hr)=-8 C

At 12 hr is 2 degrees higher:

T_(12hr)=T_(9hr)+2 C=-6 C

At 15 hr is 3 degrees higher than 12hr:

T_(15hr)=T_(12hr)+3 C=-3 C

Finally, at 21 hr, is 9 degrees lower than 15 hr:

T_(21hr)=T_(15hr)-9 C=-12 C

Caitlin has a movie rental card worth $175. After she rents the first movie, the card’s value is$172.25. After she rents the second movie, its value is $169.50. After she rents the third movie,
the card is worth $166.75.
Assuming the pattern continues, write an equation to define A(n), the amount of money on the
rental card after n rentals.
Caitlin rents a movie every Friday night. How many weeks in a row can she afford to rent a movie,
using her rental card only? Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answers

The equation A(n)= $175 –(n x $2.75) would define the amount of money on the
rental card after (n) rentals.

According to the pattern given, $2.75 will be deducted to the rental card every after Caitlin rents a movie. We can simply divide the amount of the card which is $175 by $2.75 which we presume the rental fee. From that, we can have a result of 63.63 rentals using her card. Therefore, there will be 63.63 weeks Caitlin can afford to rent a movie.
