Answer:
n squared + 3n + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
5,11,19,29
Firstly look at the difference between each number. The first difference is 6 then 8 then 10 etc. After that you look at your created sequence - 6,8,10 etc. The difference is 2 each time. Then applying rules, you have to do the constant difference divided by 2 to get a coefficient of n squared. So in this case it's n squared because 2/2 = 1 so you don't have to place a 1 in front of the n squared. After you create a sequence from the n squared. That would be 1,4,9 etc. Then you need to see how to get from the sequence: 1,4,9 etc to your original sequence: 5,11,19 etc. So if you calculate it you will get 4,7,10 because firstly 5-1 = 4 then 11-4 = 7 etc. The sequence 4,7,10 is a linear sequence so the constant difference is 3 each time. So to get a nth term of a linear sequence you will start off as 3n then you will substitute 1 then 2 then 3 into the 3n. Therefore that would be 3,6 etc. So if you take the first substituted term, that would be 3 as said before then you will have to see how to get from the 3 to 4 so that is just adding 1. So the nth term of this linear sequence is 3n + 1. Check if it works at the end. So the overall nth term of the quadratic sequence is n squared as said before + 3n + 1.
Answer:
First, plot points A & B on a graph.
Collinear just means 3 or more points in a straight line (because just 2 points are always collinear, since a straight line can always be drawn through two points.
The instructions don't state a specific area in which points C & D have to be in, so you can put them anywhere, as long as they are collinear with each other, but not any other points,
- i.e. putting three units up and two units left of points A & B
So let's make up some points for C & D that are on a straight line.
- Remember, this line does <em>not</em> have to be horizontal! As long as it's a straight line, any direction will do.
Here are some points that you can choose from:
- C(-1, 1); D(-1, -1)
- C(4, 5); D(4, -5)
- C(3, 4); D(3, 5)
- Anything that doesn't fall on x=2 or y=±3.
For "F" just pick a set of coordinates off to the side and label it
You can even use half values if you want:
- (0.5, 3.2)
- (1.2, -4.1)
- (-9.1, -0.2)
As long as your plotted points meet the criteria:
- C & D are <em>Collinear</em>
- A, B, C, D, & F must not land on the same straight line.
