You want the first 9 terms of the recursive sequence defined by ...

  [tex]\begin{cases}s_1=2\\s_2=3\\s_n=s_{n-2}(s_{n-1}-1)\end{cases}[/tex]

The attached spreadsheet uses the given formula for the next term. It shows the terms to be ...

  2, 3, 4, 9, 32, 279, 8896, 2481705, 22077238784

The attached spreadsheet sum function has been used to find the sum of the first 8 terms. That sum is ...

  2490930

The sequence of problem 1 has neither a common difference nor a common ratio between successive terms. It is neither arithmetic nor geometric.

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence with first term a1 and common difference d is given by ...

  Sn = (2a1 +d(n -1))(n/2)

You have a sequence with a1 = 12 and d = (18-12) = 6. You want the sum of the first 200 terms.

  S200 = (2·12 +6(200 -1))(200/2) = 121,800

The sum is 121,800.

Additional comment

A spreadsheet is a nice tool for finding terms of a recursively-defined sequence. The formula can include as many terms as necessary, and it can be replicated thousands of times, if necessary. The limitation is that arithmetic is generally limited to 16 significant figures, or so.

4.  121,800

Step-by-step explanation:

A recursive rule for a sequence allows you to find the nth term of the sequence provided you know the value of the previous term in the sequence.

Given recursive rule:

[tex]\begin{cases}s_n=s_{n-2} \cdot (s_{n-1}-1)\\s_1=2\\s_2=3\end{cases}[/tex]

Therefore, the first 9 terms of the sequence are:

[tex]s_1=2[/tex]

[tex]s_2=3[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}s_3&=s_{3-2} \cdot (s_{3-1}-1)\\&=s_{1} \cdot (s_{2}-1)\\&=2 \cdot (3-1)\\&=2 \cdot 2\\&=4 \end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}s_4&=s_{4-2} \cdot (s_{4-1}-1)\\&=s_{2} \cdot (s_{3}-1)\\&=3 \cdot (4-1)\\&=3 \cdot 3\\&=9 \end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}s_5&=s_{5-2} \cdot (s_{5-1}-1)\\&=s_{3} \cdot (s_{4}-1)\\&=4 \cdot (9-1)\\&=4 \cdot 8\\&=32 \end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}s_6&=s_{6-2} \cdot (s_{6-1}-1)\\&=s_{4} \cdot (s_{5}-1)\\&=9 \cdot (32-1)\\&=9 \cdot 31\\&=279\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}s_7&=s_{7-2} \cdot (s_{7-1}-1)\\&=s_{5} \cdot (s_{6}-1)\\&=32 \cdot (279-1)\\&=32 \cdot 278\\&=8896\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}s_8&=s_{8-2} \cdot (s_{8-1}-1)\\&=s_{6} \cdot (s_{5}-1)\\&=279 \cdot (8896-1)\\&=279\cdot 8895\\&=2481705\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}s_9&=s_{9-2} \cdot (s_{9-1}-1)\\&=s_{7} \cdot (s_{8}-1)\\&=8896\cdot (2481705-1)\\&=8896\cdot 2481704\\&=22077238784\end{aligned}[/tex]

Given series:

[tex]\displaystyle \sum^8_{k=1} s_k[/tex]

The sum notation asks to find the sum of the first 8 terms of the sequence from question 1.

Therefore:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\displaystyle \sum^8_{k=1} s_k&=s_1+s_2+s_3+s_4+s_5+s_6+s_7+s_8\\&=2+3+4+9+32+279+8896+2481705\\&=2490930\end{aligned}[/tex]

If a sequence is arithmetic, the difference between consecutive terms is the same (this is called the common difference).

If a sequence is geometric, the ratio between consecutive terms is the same (this is called the common ratio).

As the difference between consecutive terms it not the same, the sequence is not arithmetic.

As the ratio between consecutive terms is not the same, the sequence is not geometric.

Therefore, the sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric.

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{7.3 cm}\underline{Sum of the first $n$ terms of an arithmetic series}\\\\$S_n=\dfrac{1}{2}n[2a+(n-1)d]$\\\\where:\\\phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $a$ is the first term. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $d$ is the common difference.\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $n$ is the position of the term.\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

Given arithmetic sequence:

Therefore:

To find the sum of the first 200 terms, substitute the found values of a and d into the formula along with n = 200:

[tex]\begin{aligned}S_{200}&=\dfrac{1}{2}(200)[2(12)+(200-1)(6)]\\&=100[24+(199)(6)]\\&=100[24+1194]\\&=100[1218]\\&=121800\end{aligned}[/tex]

The linear function that models the puppy's growth is written as: y = 3x + 3.

The values we need to find before we can write he linear function that models a situation, are:

The linear function would be expressed as y = mx + b, which is in the slope-intercept form.

The table of the puppy's growth that Shayla is tracking is shown below. Using two points on the table, say, (0, 3) and (1, 6):

Slope (m) = change in y / change in x = (6 - 3)/(1 - 0)

Slope (m) = 3/1 = 3

Substitute m = 3 and (0, 3) into y = mx + b to find b:

3 = 3(0) + b

3 = 0 + b

3 = b

b = 3

To write the linear function, substitute m = 3 and b = 3 into the equation, y = mx + b:

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation: FLVS question the answer is A

A linear function will have the form f(x) = mx + b.

f(0)=7 means the point (0,7) is on this line.

f(3)=1 means the point (3,1) is on the line as well.

Using those two points, we can find the slope:

   m = (1-7)/(3-0) = -6/3 = -2

Since we were given f(0)=7, we also know the y-intercept.

So our function is f(x) = -2x+7

The resulting equation is the x-coordinate of the point of local extrema of a quadratic function.

To find the local extrema of a polynomial function f(x), we apply the equation f'(x) = 0. We are given the basic form of a quadratic equation. The equation is given below.

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

We need to find the differentiation of the above equation.

f'(x) = 2ax + b

Now, we will equate the obtained equation to zero and solve for the value of the variable "x".

f'(x) = 0

2ax + b = 0

2ax = -b

x = -b/2a

This resulting equation is familiar from algebra/pre-calculus. This is the x-coordinate of the point of local extrema of a quadratic function.

The measures of Angle X, Y and Z are 160°,  15°,  5° respectively.

a figure which is formed by two rays or lines that shares a common endpoint is called an angle. The word “angle” is derived from the Latin word “angulus”, which means “corner”. The two rays are called the sides of an angle, and the common endpoint is called the vertex.

The sum of the three angles X, Y, Z is 180°

X + Y + Z = 180---------------1

if X is 8 times the sum of Y and Z, it means,

X = 8( Y + Z)--------------------2

Also

Y is three times Z, which means

Y = 3Z---------------------3

Substitute equation 3 and 2 in equation 1

8( 3Z + Z) + 3Z + Z = 180

32Z +4Z = 180

36Z = 180

Z = 180/36

Z = 5°

substitute the value of z in equations 1 and 3 to find X and Y

Y = 3Z,

at Z = 5

Y = 3 x 5

Y = 15°

X = 8(Y +Z)

X = 8( 15 + 5)

Answer: Break-even point in units= 20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Break-even point in units= 20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit= $29.99

Unitary variable cost= $14.25

Fixed costs= $314,800

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 314,800 / (29.99 - 14.25)

Break-even point in units= 20,000

Answer:

20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

29.99-14.25 (15.74) it the money that they make per unit without accounting for the fixed cost.

314800 = 15.74x  Divide both sides by 15.74

We have a translation of 7 units to the left, and it is:

F(c + 7) = 4c + 39

Here we have the linear function:

F(x) = 4x + 11

And we want to find:

F(c + 7)

So we just need to evaluate the function in x = c + 7, we will get:

F(c + 7) = 4*(c + 7) + 11

F(c + 7) = 4c + 28 + 11

F(c + 7) = 4c + 39

So basically we had a translation of 28 units up of our linear function (or 7 units to the left)

Using the two points on the graph, Sandra can prove that her speed was constant using: Slope (m) = (18 - 6) / (3 - 1).

The slope of a graph is the ratio of the vertical distance along the line to the horizontal distance across the line, which is given as, m = change in y / change in x.

For a proportional graph, the slope is always constant, for whichever points we choose to use on the line.

Given two points on the line that Sandra chose, (3, 18) and (1, 6), therefore:

Slope (m) = change in y / change in x

Slope (m) = (18 - 6) / (3 - 1)

Slope (m) = 12/2

The standard form of the quadratic function y=ax² + bx + c = a (x - h)² + k

By definition, quadratic function is a function in the form f(x) = ax² + bx + c, where a, b, and c are numbers with a not equal to zero.

ax² + bx + c = a (x² - 2xh + h²) + kax² + bx + c

= ax² - 2ah x + (ah² + k)

Comparing the coefficients of x on both sides,b = -2ah ⇒ h = -b/2a .............................................(i)

Comparing the constants on both sides,c = ah² + kc = a (-b/2a)² + k (From (1))

c = b²/(4a) + kk = c - (b²/4a)k = (4ac - b²) / (4a)

Therefore, we can use the formulas h = -b/2a and k = (4ac - b²) / (4a) to convert the standard form to its vertex form.

Any number which is multiplied with zero is zero itself.

The total of the areas under the standard normal curve to the left of (z₁ = -2.575) and to the right of (z₂ = 2.575) is equal to 0.0098.

In Statistics, the standard normal distribution table is designed and developed to provide only the area to the left of a specified z-score. Additionally, since z-score (z₁) and z-score (z₂) are generally symmetric about z = 0 and are negatives of one another, then, by symmetry, the area to the right of z-score (z₂) is always equal to the area to the left of z-score (z₁).

This ultimately implies that, the total areas under a standard normal curve in two tails can be determined by calculating the area to the left of z-score (z₁) and multiplying the value by two (2).

From the z-score table, the area to the left of z-score (z₁ = -2.575) is given by:

The area to the left of z-score (z₁ = -2.575) = 0.0049
