Nan1 22 33 54 95 17 look at the sequence in the table. which recursive formula represents the sequence shown? a) an = an-1 + 1 b) an = 3an-1 - 3 c) an = 2an-1 - 1 d) an = an-1 + 8

You can try the choices to see which one works. The differences between an values double each time. They have the sequence 1, 2, 4, 8. So, you know that choices A) and D) do not work. They show the difference to be constant at 1 or 8. Since the differences are multiplied by 2, C) is a reasonable choice. Trying that, we find it describes the sequence perfectly:

a2 = 2·2 -1 = 3

a3 = 2·3 -1 = 5

a4 = 2·5 -1 = 9

a5 = 2·9 -1 = 17

___

Trying choice B on the last term, we have

... a5 = 3·a4 -3 = 3·9 -3 = 24 ≠ 17

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this you!
