To determine which functions depict the arithmetic sequence 8, 1.5, -5, -11.5,... follow these steps:
<span>f(n) = –6.5n + 14.5... correct
f(1) = 8
f(2) = 1.5
f(3) = -5
f(4) = -11.5
f(n) = –1.5n + 9.5... incorrect
f(1) = 8
f(2) = 6.5
f(n) = 6.5n + 1.5... incorrect
f(1) = 8
f(2) = 14.5
f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) – 6.5... correct
f(2) = 8 - 6.5 = 1.5
f(3) = 1.5 - 6.5 = -5
f(4) = -5 - 6.5 = -11.5
f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) – 1.5... incorrect
f(2) = 8 - 1.5 = 6.5
f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 6.5... incorrect
f(2) = 8 + 6.5 = 14.5
The valid functions are:
</span>f(n) = –6.5n + 14.5 and f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) – 6.5.
Response:
The correct choice is option C
The proportion of green marbles to red marbles is 3: 1
Step-by-step breakdown:
According to the problem statement:
A bag holds 44 marbles, comprising both red and green ones.
⇒Total marbles = 44
If it includes 11 red marbles.
Then;
Green marbles = Total marbles - red marbles.
By substituting the values provided,
Green marbles = 44 - 11 = 33
We are tasked with determining the ratio of green marbles to red marbles.

Consequently, the ratio of green to red marbles is 3: 1
The formula for gravitational force is F = G * m1 * m2 / r². The gravitational constant is G = 6.67 * 10^(-11) m³/kgs². Thus, we find r = sqrt(G * m1 * m2 / F) = sqrt(6.67 * 10^(-11) m³/kgs² * 1.3 * 10^(22) kg * 1.6 * 10^(21) / 3.61 * 10^(18) N) = sqrt(3.84 * 10^(14)) = 1.96 * 10^(7) m, which is approximately 2 * 10^(7) m.
