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 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)

X = 8 x 20

X  = 160°

Hi  Debbie,  the tricky part about these types of problem is recognizing that you know the total angle.   180°   for the ABCD question and the angles are equal to each other for the TUWXY   question , this tip lets   you find X for each.

just add the two angle and set equal to 180 in each problem.  I'll do the problems below, but , now that you know how, maybe you could try them and check your answer against mine.

The ABCD question

4x+7  +  2x -1 = 180

6x +6 = 180

6x = 174

x = 29

4(29)+7 = 123°

2(29)-1 = 57°

The TUWXY question

6x+13 = 10x-7

20 = 4x

5=x

then

6(5)+13 = 43°

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

20000 = x

Using Midsegment theorem, the value of x, y and DE in the triangle are 17, 2, and 20 respectively.

The Midsegment theorem states that the midsegment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side of the triangle, and the length of this midsegment is half the length of the third side.

Therefore, DH is midsegment of  triangle DEF.

Let's find the value of x.

1 / 2 (28) = x - 3

14 = x - 3

x = 14 + 3

x = 17

Let's find y

x - 7 = y + 8

17 - 7 = y + 8

10 = y + 8

y = 10 - 8

y = 2

Let's find DE

DE =  y + 8 + x - 7

DE  = 2 + 8 + 17 - 7

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply check for x-coordinate of - 8, we see only the first option has it, all the others have x = 0 or x = 8 which is impossible to have on the line x = - 8.

It is parallel to the y-axis and x = - 8 for any value of y.

Correct choice is A or 1.

Similar to above, we exclude all the options with a different value of y other than 8.

There are two possible options left:

Consider line x = 0, this is overlapping with the y-axis.

x ≥ 0 gives us the y-axis (because of equal sign) and all the points to the right from it.

This is matching the description of option E or 5.

Answer:

(a)  The line parallel to the y-axis that intersects the x-axis at (-8, 0).

(b)  The line parallel to the x-axis that intersects the y-axis at (0, 8).

(c)  The set of all points to the right of and on the y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (a)

Given condition:  x = -8

The equation of a vertical line is x = a.  

This line is parallel to the y-axis (since it is vertical) and intersects the x-axis at (a, 0).

Therefore, the description that satisfies the given condition is:

Part (b)

Given condition: y = 8

The equation of a horizontal line is y = a.  

This line is parallel to the x-axis (since it is horizontal) and intersects the y-axis at (0, a).

Therefore, the description that satisfies the given condition is:

Part (c)

Given condition:  x ≥ 0

The "≥" symbol means greater than or equal to.

x is greater than zero for all points to the right of the y-axis.

x is equal to zero for all points on the y-axis.

Therefore, the description that satisfies the given condition is:

By just expanding the products, we can see that the expression can be written as:

(x - 1)*(x + 2)*(x + 3) = x³ + 4x² + x - 6

Here we want to expand the expression:

(x - 1)*(x + 2)*(x + 3)

We can start to expand the first two parts, writing:

(x - 1)*(x + 2)*(x + 3) = [(x - 1)*(x + 2)]*(x + 3)

[x² + (-1)*x + x*2 + (-1)*2]*(x + 3)

[x² - x + 2x - 2]*(x + 3)

[x² + x - 2]*(x + 3)

Now we can finish the expansion:

[x² + x - 2]*(x + 3) = (x²)*x + (x²)*3 + x*x + x*3 + (-2)*x + (-2)*3

= x³ + 3x² + x² + 3x - 2x - 6

= 6

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

For the total areas, we have:
