Algebra question

type the question and someone will help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Bill is able to save $35/week after working part-time and paying his expenses. These two formulas show his weekly savings: f(1) = 35, f(n) = f(1) + f(n-1) for n > 1 f(n) = 35n Which one of these formulas show the sequence written recursively and which shows it written explicitly? Justify your explanations. Use the recursive formula to make a table of values for 1 ≤ n ≤ 5. Show your calculations. Explain what your table means. Use any formula of your choice to find f(40). Explain why you chose that method and what your answer means. Show your calculations. Given the sequence of numbers: 5, 6, 8, 11, 15, 20, 26, 33, 41,… Explain whether or not this sequence can be considered a function.

K seems pretty simple, the recursive formula is the first and the explicit is the second, the explicit is always easier. Now plug in any number to n to make a table. f(1) = 35 f(n) = f(1) + f(n-1) for n > 1 Find f(2) f(2) = f(1) + f(2-1) f(2) = 35 + 35 = 70 f(2) = 70 f(3) = f(1) + f(3-1) f(3) = 35 + 70 f(3) = 105 and so fourth

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

You could use the explicit as well, 35*3 = 105 so its true

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

To find f(40) I'd use the explicit, so it'd just be 35*40

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Understand?

Can you help with the Given the sequence of numbers: 5, 6, 8, 11, 15, 20, 26, 33, 41,… Explain whether or not this sequence can be considered a function.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

I don't think so because for it to be a function it would have to have a pattern, kinda like arithmetic. Ofc using this function.

The ones you helped me with are they in order

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Yes

Ok thank you i understand
