<h2><u>Solution (1)</u> :</h2>
Given, to find A we have to :
- square m
- Add y to m²
- Subtract 7 from m² + y
From the question, the following equation can be formed :

Therefore, the formula for finding A = m² + y - 7
<h2><u>Solution (2)</u> :</h2>
The value of A we can derive from the formula is :

Value of m = 3 (given)
Which means :




Thus, the value of A = 2+y
Therefore, the value of A = <u>2+y</u>
Answer:
2nd option is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
3 times a number decreased by 6 is - 2
A function

is periodic if there is some constant

such that

for all

in the domain of

. Then

is the "period" of

.
Example:
If

, then we have

, and so

is periodic with period

.
It gets a bit more complicated for a function like yours. We're looking for

such that

Expanding on the left, you have

and

It follows that the following must be satisfied:

The first two equations are satisfied whenever

, or more generally, when

and

(i.e. any multiple of 4).
The second two are satisfied whenever

, and more generally when

with

(any multiple of 10/7).
It then follows that all four equations will be satisfied whenever the two sets above intersect. This happens when

is any common multiple of 4 and 10/7. The least positive one would be 20, which means the period for your function is 20.
Let's verify:


More generally, it can be shown that

is periodic with period

.
