Fiona has proved that a function, f(x), is an arithmetic sequence. how did she prove that? a. she showed that an explicit formula could be created. b. she showed that a recursive formula could be created. c. she showed that f(n) ÷ f(n - 1) was a constant ratio. d. she showed that f(n) - f(n - 1) was a constant difference.

Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Option D is correct

Being an arithmetic sequence there will be common difference between the consecutive terms

Option A is incorrect because it is not necessary that explicit formula is an arithmetic sequence we can create explicit formula for any sequence

Option B is incorrect because recursive formula can be created for any sequence for geometric series also.

Option C is incorrect because the sequence that has constant ratio is the geometric sequence not an arithmetic sequence.

D. She showed that f(n) - f(n - 1) was a constant difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ A sequence is called arithmetic if there is constant difference between consecutive numbers,

Thus, option D is correct.

In Explicit formulas, we define each term in a sequence directly,

Thus, there are many sequences other than arithmetic that have explicit formula,

i.e. Option A can not be true.

Now, recursive formula defines the relation between successive terms,

Thus, there are many sequences other than arithmetic that have recursive formula,

i.e. Option B can not be true.

Also, if the ratio between successive terms is constant then the sequence is a Geometric sequence,

A GP can not be an AP,

i.e. Option D can not be true.

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
