<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

The space shuttle travels at about 28,000 km per hour. Using that information, estimate how many hours it will take the shuttle
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

t = 42857.14 h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The speed of space shuttle, v = 28000 km/h

We know that, the distance between the Saturn and the Earth is 1,200,000,000 km.

Let t be the time.

As we know, speed = distance/time

So,

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{1,200,000,000}{28000}\\\\t=42857.14\ h

So, the required time is equal to 42857.14 hours.

Kay [80]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The circle has a circumference:</u>

  • C = 2πr

This the is arc of full length θ = 360°

<u>Each degree of arc length is:</u>

  • s = 2πr*θ / 360 = πrθ / 180

<u>We have:</u>

  • r = 6 in and θ = 25°

<u>The arc length is:</u>

  • s = π*6*25/180 = (5/6)π inches terms of π

<u>The same arc is:</u>

  • s = (5/6)*3.14 = 2.62 inches (rounded)
