Chapter 5 - Sequences, Closure Assignment

  • Problem Overview:

    • Complete problems individually; mark easy ones with a check and difficult ones with a star.

  • CL 5-127: Solve Equations

    • a. Simplify: 3(2x−1)+12=4x−33(2x-1)+12=4x-3

    • b. Solve: 3x+24=23x + 24 = 2

    • c. Validate: x=3=3x = 3 = 3

    • d. Solve 4x(x−2)=(2x+1)(2x−3)4x(x-2)=(2x+1)(2x-3)

  • CL 5-128: Simplify Expressions

    • a. Simplify: (−3x)2(-3x)^{2}

  • CL 5-129: Create Multiple Line Representations

    • a. Line with slope 4 and y-intercept -6: y=4x−6y = 4x - 6

    • b. Line with slope passing through (5,7): y=mx+by = mx + b (specific form to determine)

  • CL 5-130: Explicit Sequence Equations

    • a. (a<em>1=17,a</em>n+1=an−7)(a<em>{1} = 17, a</em>{n+1} = a_{n} - 7)

    • b. (t(1)=3,t(n+1)=5imest(n))(t(1) = 3, t(n+1) = 5 imes t(n))

  • CL 5-131: Graph Functions and Sequences

    • a. Function: f(x)=(x−2)2f(x)=(x-2)^{2}

    • b. Sequence: t(n)=3n−5t(n) = 3n - 5

  • CL 5-132: Solve Adult and Child Ticket Prices

    • Tickets dilemma:

    • Family with 2 adults and 3 children: 2a+3c=56.502a + 3c = 56.50

    • Family with 1 adult and 4 children: a+4c=49.50a + 4c = 49.50

  • CL 5-133: Self-Assessment

    • Check confidence level on problems and identify topics for further study.

  • Key Solutions from Problems:

    • Adult ticket price: a=15.50a = 15.50

    • Child ticket price: c=8.50c = 8.50
