Seats in a theater are curved from the front row to the back. The front row has 10 chairs, the second has 16 and the third has 22, and so on.


A. Write a recursive rule for this series


B. Write an explicit rule for this series


C. Using the explicit formula, find the number of chairs in row 5


D. The auditorium can hold 17 rows of chairs. Write a sigma notation for this series, and then use either series formula to calculate how many chairs can fit in the auditorium

Answer:

The first term is 10.

The second term is 16

The third term is 22.

We can see that the first term plus 6, is:

10 + 6 = 16

Then the first term plus 6 is equal to the second term.

And the second term plus 6 is:

16 + 6 = 22

Then the second term plus 6 is equal to the third term.

A) As we already found, the recursive rule is:

Aₙ = Aₙ₋₁ + 6

B) The explicit rule is:

Aₙ = A₁ + (n - 1)*6

Such that A1 is the first term, in this case A₁ = 10

Then:

Aₙ = 10 + (n - 1)*6

C)

Now we want to find A₅, then:

A₅ = 10 + (5 - 1)*6 = 34

There are 34 chairs in row 5.

D)

Here we have 17 rows, then we can have 17 terms, this means that the total number of chairs will be:

C = A₀ + A₁ + ... + A₁₆

This summation can be written as:

∑ 10 + (n - 1)*6        such that n goes from 0 to 16.

The formula  for the sum of the first N terms of a sum like this is:

S(N) = (N)*(A₁ + Aₙ)/2

Then the sum of the 17 rows gives:

S(17) = 17*(10 + (10 + (17 - 1)*6)/2 = 986 chairs.

There are total 986 chairs in the considered auditorium and there are 34 chairs in the fifth row.

A rule defined such that its definition includes itself.

Example: [tex]F(x) = F(x-1) + c[/tex] is one such recursive rule.

For this case, we're provided that:

Seats in rows are 10 in front, 16 in second, 22 in third, and so on.

10 , 16 , 22 , .....

16 - 10 = 6

22 - 16 = 6

...

So consecutive difference is 6

If we take [tex]T_i[/tex] as ith term of the series then:

[tex]T_2 - T_1 = 6\\T_3 - T_2 = 6\\T_4 - T_3 = 6 \\T_5 - T_4 = 6\\\cdots\\T_{n} - T_{n-1} = 6[/tex]

Thus, the recursive rule for the given series is [tex]T_{n} - T_{n-1} = 6[/tex] or [tex]T_n = T_{n-1} + 6[/tex]

From this recursive rule, we can deduce the explicit formula as:
[tex]T_n = T_{n-1} + 6\\T_n = T_{n-2} + 6 + 6\\\cdots\\T_n = T_{n-k} + k \times 6\\T_n = T_1 + 6(n-1)\\T_n = 10 + 6(n-1) \: \rm (as \: T_1 = 10)\\[/tex]

Thus, the explicit rule for this series is [tex]T_n = 10 + 6(n-1)[/tex]

For 5th row, putting n = 5 gives us:

[tex]T_n = 10 + 6(n-1) = 6n + 4\\T_5 = 6(5) + 4 = 34[/tex]

If the auditorium has 17 rows, then total chairs are:

[tex]T = T_1 + T_2 + \cdots + T_{17} = \sum_{n=1}^{17} T_n\\\\T = \sum_{n=1}^{17} (10 + 6(n-1))\\\\T = \sum_{n=1}^{17} (6n + 4)\\\\T = 6\sum_{n=1}^{17} n + \sum_{n=1}^{17}4 = 6\sum_{n=1}^{17} n + 4 \times 17\\\\T = 6\left( \dfrac{17(18)}{2}\right) + 68 = 918 + 68\\\\T = 986[/tex]

(it is because [tex]\sum_{k=1}^n k = 1 + 2 + \cdots + n = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}[/tex] )

Thus, there are total 986 chairs in the considered auditorium. There are 34 chairs in the fifth row. The recursive rule for this series is: [tex]T_n = T_{n-1} + 6[/tex] The explicit rule for this series is: [tex]T_n = 6n + 4[/tex].

Use the scatter plot of car resale values to answer the following question.
A graph titled Car Resale Values has age of car on the x-axis, from 0 to 10 in increments of 2, and percentage of sticker price on the y-axis, for 0 to 100. A line of best fit goes through points (2, 80) and (9, 20).
What can you say about the correlation between the age of a car and its resale value?
a.
The trend line slopes downward from upper left to lower right, so there is a negative correlation between a car’s age and its resale value.
b.
The trend line slopes downward from upper left to lower right, so there is a positive correlation between a car’s age and its resale value.
c.
The trend line slopes upward from lower right to upper left, so there is a positive correlation between a car’s age and its resale value.
d.
There is no correlation between a car’s age and its resale value.
