Homework Progress 0 Find the nth term of the following sequence: 4 7 12 19 28

<em>Answer:</em>

n²+3

<em>Explanation:</em>

The differences between the terms are not the same, so this is not "linear". Knowing that the sequence may have started with a 1, you can try subtracting the first number with a number to get 1, and use that number to subtract the rest.

4 - 3 = 1
7 - 3 = 4
12 - 3 = 9
19 - 3 = 16
28 - 3 = 25

In this case, subtracting 3 to all the numbers gave us perfect squares! So this means the nth term has to do with squaring the number and adding three afterward! This can be checked.

√1 = 1
√4 = 2
√9 = 3
√16 = 4
√25 = 5

As we found the values of these terms by subtracting three first and then finding its square root, the nth term will be the opposite; squaring and then adding three! Again, this can be checked!

1² + 3 = 4
2² + 3 = 7
3² + 3 = 12
4² + 3 = 19
5² + 3 = 28

Hope this helps !! :D

A driver who drives at a speed of r mph for t hr will travel a distance d mi given by dequalsrt mi. How far will a driver travel
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

At a speed of 57 mph for 8 hr a driver will travel 456 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have a summary of the letters for each variable:

Speed ---> r          (in units of mph)

Time ---> t            (in units of hr)

Distance ---> d     (in units of mi)

These three variables are related by the next formula:

d = rt

In the data they give to you: 57 mph and 8 hr, they are telling you the r and the t, respectively:

r = 57 mph

t = 8 hr

The only thing you have to do is replace the values:

d = rt    ---->     d = 57 mph x 8 hr

                        d = 456 mi

Someone help?!.........
koban [17]
Answer: y = -2x + 16

Explanation:

Use point slope form:

(y1 - y) = m(x1 - x)

y1 = 6 and x1 = 5 and m = -2

6 - y = -2(5 - x)
6 - y = -10 + 2x
-y = 2x - 10 - 6
-y = 2x - 16
y = -2x + 16
