Find the recursive rule, explicit rule, and f(20)

Recursive:

Explicit:

And the 20th term is 225.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the sequence:

35, 45, 55, 65.

Notice that each subsequent term is 10 more than the previous term.

Therefore, our common difference is (+)10.

Recursive Rule:

The standard format for the recursive rule is:

Where a is the initial term and d is the common difference.

From our sequence, we know that a the initial term is 35.

And as determined, our common difference d is 10.

Substitute. Hence, our recursive rule is:

Explicit Rule:

The standard format for the explicit rule is:

Where a is the initial term and d is the common difference. So, let’s substitute 35 for a and 10 for d. Hence, our explicit formula is:

Now, let’s find the 20th term. We will utilize the explicit rule since the recursive rule can get tedious. Substitute 20 for n because we would like to 20th term. Thus:

Evaluate:

Hence, the 20th term is 225.

15

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to solve it and find the product:

-13 × (-5)

solving the given expression in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, beginning with the opening of brackets and then multiplying the terms and changing their signs.

-3 × -5 = 15 (answer is positive because when negative is multiplied with negative, it gives a positive answer)

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
