Answer:
It depends how you were taught. You could say it's 11 (eleven) or 2.
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
<em><u>Recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,</u></em>

<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
In the question,
The number of interaction for 1 child = 0
Number of interactions for 2 children = 1
Number of interactions for 3 children = 5
Number of interaction for 4 children = 14
So,
We need to find out the pattern for the recursive equation for the given conditions.
So,
We see that,

Therefore, on checking, we observe that,

On checking the equation at the given values of 'n' of, 1, 2, 3 and 4.
<u>At, </u>
<u>n = 1</u>

which is true.
<u>At, </u>
<u>n = 2</u>

Which is also true.
<u>At, </u>
<u>n = 3</u>

Which is true.
<u>At, </u>
<u>n = 4</u>

This is also true at the given value of 'n'.
<em><u>Therefore, the recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,</u></em>

The answer is, A) No solution
Answer:
D) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
−9 + 12 + (unknown) + −8 = −1
<em>Start by going through and testing each option</em>
−9 + 12 + 2 + −8 =
3 + 2 + −8 =
5 + −8 =
−3
−3 ≠ −1
<em>A) 2 is not possible.</em>
−9 + 12 + −2 + −8 =
3 + −2 + −8 =
1 + −8 =
−7
−7 ≠ −1
<em>B) </em>−<em>2 is not possible.</em>
−9 + 12 + −4 + −8 =
3 + −4 + −8 =
−1 + −8 =
−9
−9 ≠ −1
<em>C) </em>−4<em> is not possible.</em>
<em>From this, D is looking like the answer. But to be sure, test it.</em>
−9 + 12 + 4 + −8 =
3 + 4 + −8 =
7 + −8 =
−1
−1 = −1
<em>D) 4 is the answer.</em>
In any equation there is a variable (usually x). In a quadratic equation there is a lot involved.
-B (+or-) sqrt of b^2 - 4 x A x C
________________________ divide it by
2 x A
There is usually an original equation that looks like: Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0 Use the variables from the equation to the left to fill the upper equation. (You can also look up a better formula if confused).
