<em>Answer:</em>
n²+3
<em>Explanation:</em>
The differences between the terms are not the same, so this is not "linear". Knowing that the sequence may have started with a 1, you can try subtracting the first number with a number to get 1, and use that number to subtract the rest.
4 - 3 = 1
7 - 3 = 4
12 - 3 = 9
19 - 3 = 16
28 - 3 = 25
In this case, subtracting 3 to all the numbers gave us perfect squares! So this means the nth term has to do with squaring the number and adding three afterward! This can be checked.
√1 = 1
√4 = 2
√9 = 3
√16 = 4
√25 = 5
As we found the values of these terms by subtracting three first and then finding its square root, the nth term will be the opposite; squaring and then adding three! Again, this can be checked!
1² + 3 = 4
2² + 3 = 7
3² + 3 = 12
4² + 3 = 19
5² + 3 = 28
Hope this helps !! :D
No but it is true that the two equations are parallel.
Answer:
The number of students that bring their lunches is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of students that bring their lunches
y -----> the total number of students in a class
we know that
The number of students that bring their lunches divided by the total number of students in a class must be equal to 3/8
-----> equation A
-----> equation B
substitute the value of y in equation A and solve for x
therefore
The number of students that bring their lunches is 12
You first multiply 6 and 8 to see how many people are put in the vans without rented a van. This would equal 48. You then subtract 48 from 59 to see how many people still need to be in a van. This would leave you with 11 people. Then you divide 8 from 11 to get 1 3/8. This means you need 2 vans to fit everyone.
3y-12=-30
3y=-30+12
3y=-18
y=-18/3
y=-6.
Answer: A.
