can i pls get the explanation too with the question? this is a review so if i don't know how to do it i can't do problems like it. thank you
This is for problem 1:
An easy way to determine if a sequence is geometric or arithmetic is by seeing if it is multiplied or divided by a number (geometric) or added or subtracted by a number (arithmetic).
A. The numbers in the sequence are divided by a number, the number being 2. This means it is geometric!
B. The numbers in the sequence have a number added to them, the number being 4. This means it is arithmetic!
This is for problem 2:
a. Plug in some values for \(f(x)=6x-4\)
1 | 2 |
2 | 8 |
3 | 14 |
4 | 20 |
This matches to 19.
b. If you are wondering how to solve this function, here's how:
Since you already know what f(1) is, you can start solving for f(2)!
\(f(2)=6 * f(2-1)= 6*f(1)= 6*2= 12\)
By doing this two more times, you can see this matches to 16.
c. Plug in some values for
1 | 2 |
2 | \(\frac{1}{3}\) |
3 | \(\frac{1}{18}\) |
4 | \(\frac{1}{108}\) |
You see this function matches to 18.
By this you can match d. to 17.
Matches:
16 ---> b.
17---> d.
18---> c.
19---> a.
