How do you find the nth to the quadratic sequence of 3,8,15,24,35

Mathematics

Oduvanchick [21]3 years ago
4 0

Having the first term of the sequence 

<span>a<span>(0)</span>=3</span>

<span>a<span>(1)</span>=3+5=8</span> 

We realized that 

<span>a<span>(1)</span>=a<span>(0)</span>+2⋅2+1</span>

We also have :

<span>a<span>(2)</span>=a<span>(1)</span>+2⋅3+1=8+7=15</span> 

<span>a<span>(3)</span>=a<span>(2)</span>+2⋅4+1=15+9=24</span>

From above we can realize that each term is the sum of the previous

term and 2*(sequence coefficient added to 1) and 1

So the nth term will be:

<span>a<span>(n)</span>=a<span>(n−1)</span>+2⋅<span>(n+1)</span>+<span>1
</span></span>

Triangle QRS has been rotated 90° to create triangle TVU. Using the image below, prove that lines RS and VU have the opposite an
Zanzabum

Answer:

If the line RS has been rotated 90 degrees, then VU will be perpendicular to RS and the two slopes must be opposite and reciprocal, i.e. product of the two slopes will equal -1.

As a verification, we find the locations of V and U from rotations of R & S.

(actually, the triangle had been rotated -90&deg;, 90 &deg; clockwise)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope RS, m1:

Slope VU, m2

Hence m1*m2=1*-1=-1, meaning that m1 and m2 are opposite (in sign) and are reciprocal to each other, as expected

The focus of a parabola is located at (0,–2). The directrix of the parabola is represented by y = 2. Which equation represents t
Archy [21]

Answer:

\boxed{x^2=-8y}

Step-by-step explanation:

(a,b)\ is \ the\ focus\\y=k\ is \ the\ directrice\\\\Formula\ to\ use:\ y=\dfrac{(x-a)^2}{2(b-k)} +\dfrac{b+k}{2} \\\\Here: \ a=0,\ b=-2, \ k=2\\\\y=\dfrac{(x-0)^2}{2(-2-2)} +\dfrac{-2+2}{2} \\\\so\ y=-\dfrac{x^2}{8} \\\\or\ x^2=-8y

At the parents evening the ratio of mums to dads was 3:2. Out of 500 appointments how many were with mums?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio : 3 + 2 = 5 parts

Divide the number of appointments by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio, that is

\frac{500}{5} = 100 ← value of 1 part of the ratio

The mums consisted of 3 parts, hence

3 × 100 = 300 ← appointments with mums

Which value of a would make the expression 5 1/3 divided by 4/a equivalent to a whole number?
Leya [2.2K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a = any positive multiple of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You want ...

  (5 1/3)/(4/a) = whole number

  (16/3)·(a/4) = whole number

  (4a/3) = whole number

This will be the case for a = 3n, for any positive integer n.
