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

Which of the following statements is true for the logistic differential equation?
solong [7]

Answer:

All of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

dy/dt = y/3 (18 − y)

0 = y/3 (18 − y)

y = 0 or 18

d²y/dt² = y/3 (-dy/dt) + (1/3 dy/dt) (18 − y)

d²y/dt² = dy/dt (-y/3 + 6 − y/3)

d²y/dt² = dy/dt (6 − 2y/3)

d²y/dt² = y/3 (18 − y) (6 − 2y/3)

0 = y/3 (18 − y) (6 − 2y/3)

y = 0, 9, 18

y" = 0 at y = 9 and changes signs from + to -, so y' is a maximum at y = 9.

y' and y" = 0 at y = 0 and y = 18, so those are both asymptotes / limiting values.

10 POINTS! PLEASE HELP!! The illustration shows a compact disc tray that holds five CDs. The radius of each compact disc is 9 cm
MariettaO [177]

We can see that there are 5 CDs, each of radius 9 cm

<u>Area occupied by 1 disc:</u>

Area of a circle = πr²

Area of disc = π(9)²

Area of disc = 3.14 * 81 = 254 cm²

<u>Area occupied by 5 discs:</u>

Area occupied by 5 discs = Area occupied by 1 disc * 5

Area occupied by 5 discs = 254 * 5

Area occupied by 5 discs = 1270 cm²

Solve the inequality for x<br><br> 20x &gt; 8(4x - 5) - 20
UNO [17]
Hi there! I can help you with this! First, let's combine like terms and do everything for the right side of the problem. When you do the distributive property, you get 32x - 40. Combine like terms and you'll get 32x - 60. Now, the inequality is 20x = 32x - 60. First, let's subtract 32x from both sides to get the integer by itself. When you do that, you get -12x = -60. Now, divide each side by -12 to isolate the "x". -60/-12 is 5. Let's plug it in. 20 * 5 is 100. 32 * 5 is 160. 160 - 60 is 100. 100 = 100. There. x = 5.
