chantel drew a picture of her dog on a piece of paper that is 12 centimeters long. She used a copy machine to enlarge her drawing. She used the 115% setting to make each new copy. She then used each new copy to generate the next copy, using the same copier setting.Enter a recursive formula that will give the length of each new copy.Possible Answer:a_1 = 12a_n=1.15a_n-1I want to know howto show work HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:a(n)=1.15[a(n-1)]Step-by-step explanation:we know that[tex]115\%=115/100=1.15[/tex]Let a0 -----> the length of the original copyThe first copy is equal toa1=1.15(a0)The second copy is a2=1.15[1.15(a0)] or a2=1.15[a1]The third copy isa3=1.15{1.15[1.15(a0)]} or a3=1.15[a2]thereforeA recursive formula will bea(n)=1.15[a(n-1)]
