Show that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

Mathematics

Slope of AB = 2; Slope of DC = 2

Slope of AD = -1/2; Slope of BC = -1/2

Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel because they have the same slope, therefore, quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

<h3>What is a Parallelogram?</h3>

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of opposite sides that have the same lengths and are parallel to each other.

Since the opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel, therefore, they have the same slope value.

Slope = change in y / change in x.

Find the slope of AB and DC. then AD and BC:

Slope of AB = (-2 - 2)/(-3 -(-1)) = -4/-2

Slope of AB = 2

Slope of DC = (-3 - 1)/(-1 - 1) = -4/-2

Slope of DC = 2

Slope of AD = (-3 -(-2))/(-1 -(-3)) = -1/2

Slope of AD = -1/2

Slope of BC = (2 - 1)/(-1 - 1) = 1/-2

Slope of BC = -1/2

Therefore, since AB and DC have the same slope, they are parallel, so also is AD and BC parallel because they have the same slope, therefore, quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

Determine formula of the nth term 2, 6, 12 20 30,42​
nalin [4]

Check the forward differences of the sequence.

If \{a_n\} = \{2,6,12,20,30,42,\ldots\}, then let \{b_n\} be the sequence of first-order differences of \{a_n\}. That is, for n ≥ 1,

b_n = a_{n+1} - a_n

so that \{b_n\} = \{4, 6, 8, 10, 12, \ldots\}.

Let \{c_n\} be the sequence of differences of \{b_n\},

c_n = b_{n+1} - b_n

and we see that this is a constant sequence, \{c_n\} = \{2, 2, 2, 2, \ldots\}. In other words, \{b_n\} is an arithmetic sequence with common difference between terms of 2. That is,

2 = b_{n+1} - b_n \implies b_{n+1} = b_n + 2

and we can solve for b_n in terms of b_1=4:

b_{n+1} = b_n + 2

b_{n+1} = (b_{n-1}+2) + 2 = b_{n-1} + 2\times2

b_{n+1} = (b_{n-2}+2) + 2\times2 = b_{n-2} + 3\times2

and so on down to

b_{n+1} = b_1 + 2n \implies b_{n+1} = 2n + 4 \implies b_n = 2(n-1)+4 = 2(n + 1)

We solve for a_n in the same way.

2(n+1) = a_{n+1} - a_n \implies a_{n+1} = a_n + 2(n + 1)

Then

a_{n+1} = (a_{n-1} + 2n) + 2(n+1) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-1} + 2 ((n+1) + n)

a_{n+1} = (a_{n-2} + 2(n-1)) + 2((n+1)+n) \\ ~~~~~~~ = a_{n-2} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1))

a_{n+1} = (a_{n-3} + 2(n-2)) + 2((n+1)+n+(n-1)) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-3} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1) + (n-2))

and so on down to

a_{n+1} = a_1 + 2 \displaystyle \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} k = 2 + 2 \times \frac{n(n+3)}2

\implies a_{n+1} = n^2 + 3n + 2 \implies \boxed{a_n = n^2 + n}

Well it would just be 54 since you just need to move the decimal over by 1.

So 5.4x10= 54
