If a1=4 and an =2an-1 – 1 then find the value of a4.

Answers

Answer 1
1 = 4

a2 = -2(a1) - 1
a2 = -2(4) - 1
a2 = -9

a3 = -2(a2) - 1
a3 = -2(9) - 1
a3 = -19

Can you do a4 and a5 and answer?
Answer 2

The value of [tex]a_{4} = 37[/tex].

Here,

The value of [tex]a_{1} = 4[/tex]

And,  [tex]a_{n} = 2 a_{n-1} -1[/tex]

We have to find value of [tex]a_{4}[/tex].

What is Sequence?

A sequence is a collection of elements that are arranged according to a specific pattern.

Now,

The value of [tex]a_{1} = 4[/tex]

And,  [tex]a_{n} = 2 a_{n-1} -1[/tex]

Then to find value of [tex]a_{4}[/tex], we can find [tex]a_{2} , a_{3}[/tex] as;

[tex]a_{2} = -2(a_{1} ) - 1\\a_{2} = -2(4) - 1\\a_{2} = -9[/tex]

And,

[tex]a_{3} = -2(a_{2} ) - 1\\a_{3} = -2(9) - 1\\a_{3} = -19[/tex]

Hence, the value of [tex]a_{4}[/tex] is;

[tex]a_{4} = -2(a_{3} ) - 1\\a_{4} = -2(-19) - 1\\a_{4} = 37[/tex]

Therefore, The value of [tex]a_{4} = 37[/tex].

Rori read 5 books last month. Here are the number of pages in each book that she read. (120, 106, 94, 100, 180) What is the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the number of pages in the 5 books Rori read?

Answers

Answer:The mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the number of pages in the 5 books Rori read =24

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the the mean absolute deviation (MAD,we start firt by

Getting  the mean of all values

Mean =120, 106, 94, 100, 180/5  =600/5=120

Next we subtract the mean value  from each value which is called distance

120 -120  = 0

106 -120 = -14

94 -120=  -26

100 -120=-20

180 -120=60

Thirldly, we find the mean of the distances  ignoring the negative signs

0+14+26+20+60 / 5 = 120/5=24

Steps:

600 - 480 = 120

100(120/480) = 25

Answer:

increase in percentage = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

here's your solution

==> Total number of students last year = 480

==> Number of students this year = 600

==> Number of increased students = 600 - 480

= 120 students

==> now , in percentage = (120/480)*100

==> percentage increase = 25%

the measure of a base isosceles triangle is 43? what is the measure of the vertex angle

Answers

Answer:

The vertex angle is 94 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the vertex angle be x

Mathematically, the base angles of an isosceles triangle are the same

So if one of the base angles is 43 degrees, then the other base angle would be 43 degrees too

Mathematically, the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees

Thus;

43 + 43 + x = 180

x = 180-86

x = 94 degrees

anyone know this pls help

Answers

Answer:

I graphed it for you in the image below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the logarithmic function f(x) = log2(x - 1) + 2 is attached below.

What is a function?

The function is referred to as a particular kind of relationship, every value in the domain is associated with exactly one value in the range. They have a set perimeter and territory.

It is given that the logarithmic function is, f(x) = log2(x - 1) + 2.

The first step in graphing a logarithmic function is to locate some points on the exponential f. (x). The graph will look better as we plot more points, and we can flip the x and y values to get points on the opposite axis. locate the asymptote. The following logarithmic functions can be graphed. Specify the domain and the range.

Thus, the graph is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve triangle PQR. Round intermediate results to 3 decimal places and final answers to 1 decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Q = 96.4^\circ[/tex]

[tex]R = 58.4[/tex]

[tex]P =25.2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for PQR

Required

Solve the triangle

From the attached triangle, all sidea of the triangle are known.

i.e.

[tex]PQ = 6\\QR=3\\PR=7[/tex]

So, we are to solve for [tex]\angle P, Q \& R[/tex]

Using cosine rule:

[tex]a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bcCosA[/tex]

To solve for Q, we have:

[tex]PR^2 = PQ^2 + QR^2 - 2 * PQ * QR Cos(Q)[/tex]

[tex]7^2 = 6^2 + 3^2 - 2 * 6 * 3 * \cos(Q)[/tex]

[tex]49 = 36 + 9 - 36 * \cos(Q)[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]49 - 36 - 9 = - 36 * \cos(Q)[/tex]

[tex]4 = - 36 * \cos(Q)[/tex]

Divide both sides by -36

[tex]\cos(Q) = \frac{-4}{36}[/tex]

[tex]\cos(Q) = -0.1111[/tex]

Take arc cos of both sides

[tex]Q = cos^{-1}(0.1111)[/tex]

[tex]Q = 96.4^\circ[/tex]

To solve for R, we make use of sine rule;

[tex]\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\frac{PQ}{\sin R} = \frac{PR}{\sin Q}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6}{\sin R} = \frac{7}{\sin 96.4}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]\sin R * 7 = 6 * \sin 96.4[/tex]

Solve for sin R

[tex]\sin R = \frac{6 * \sin 96.4}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\sin R = \frac{6 * \0.9938}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\sin R = 0.8518[/tex]

Take arc sin of both sides

[tex]R = sin^{-1}(0.8518)[/tex]

[tex]R = 58.4[/tex]

Solving P:

[tex]P+ Q + R = 180[/tex] --- angles in a triangle

Solve for P

[tex]P =180-Q-R[/tex]

[tex]P =180-96.4-58.4[/tex]

[tex]P =25.2[/tex]
