<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 value of savings account can be modeled by the function S(x) = 5, 000 * (1.025) ^ (0.7x) x is the number of years 1980. What
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The approximate growth rate of the savings account is 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the the function S(x) = 5, 000 * (1.025) ^ (0.7x)

From the function, we can see that part:  (1.025). It presents for the growth factor or rate with the formula as:

(1 + r)  where r is rate

So we have:

(1 + r) = 1.025

<=> r = 1.025  -1

<=> r = 0.025

In pecentage, we have the rare: 0.025 *100% = 2.5%

So the approximate growth rate of the savings account is 2.5%
