Answer:

nth term: 0.5n² + 2.5n + 3

Explanation:

pattern 1 = 6 bowls

pattern 2 = 10 bowls

pattern 3 = 15 bowls

pattern 4 = 21 bowls

First difference:

10 - 6 = 4
15 - 10 = 5
21 - 15 = 6

Second difference:

5 - 4 = 1
6 - 5 = 1

This is not an arithmetic nor a geometric sequence.

Solve:

2a = 2nd difference

2a = 1

a = 1/2 or 0.5

===================

3a + b = 1st difference

3a + b = 4

b = 4 - 3(1/2)

b = 2.5

====================

a + b + c = first term

1/2 + 2.5 + c = 6

c = 3

Quadratic nth term:

0.5n² + 2.5n + 3

Help me pleasseeeee!!! its about algebraic properties of limits!

s2008m [1.1K]

$\text{Hello there! :)}$

$3. \sqrt{2} \\\\\text{4. 0}\\\\\text{5. dne}$

$\text{To find the overall limit, they must approach the same y-value from each side:}$

$\\\\3. \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi }{4} } 2sinx ={\sqrt{2}$

$\text{Therefore:}\\\\3. \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi }{4} } f(x)= {\sqrt{2} }$

$\text{For this question, evaluate the limit from the RIGHT-HAND side:}\\\\4. \lim_{x \to \pi +} f(x)\\\\ \text{Use the equation tanx to evaluate since it involves values greater than \pi:}\\\\$

$\lim_{x \to \pi +} tanx = 0\\\\\text{So:}\\\\ \lim_{x \to \pi +} f(x) = 0$

$5. \\\\\text{Evaluate the overall limit. Make sure both sides approach the same y=value:}\\\\ \lim_{x \to \pi } 2cosx= -2\\\\ \lim_{x \to \pi } tanx = 0\\\\ \text{ Therefore:}\\ \lim_{x \to \pi } f(x) = dne \text{ (Does not exist})$
