Let s_n denote the number of seats in the n-th row. s_n is arithmetic, so

s_n=s_{n-1}+d

for some constant d.

We're told s_5=22 and s_{10}=37, so that

s_{10}=s_9+d

s_{10}=(s_8+d)+d=s_8+2d

s_{10}=(s_7+d)+2d=s_7+3d

and so on up to

s_{10}=s_5+5d\implies37=22+5d\implies5d=15\implies d=3

The pattern continues:

s_5=s_4+3

s_5=(s_3+3)+3=s_3+2\cdot3

and so on up to

s_5=s_1+4\cdot3\implies22=s_1+12\implies\boxed{s_1=10}

If f(x) = 8x2 + 4x - 12. Find f(2)<br> f(2)=
posledela

Answer:

f(2) = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

\rm f(x) = 8 {x}^{2}  + 4x - 12

\rm Evaluate \:  8 x^2 + 4 x - 12 \:  where  \: x = 2: \\  \\  \rm \implies f(2) = 8 \times {2}^{2}  + 4 \times 2 - 12 \\  \\   \rm \implies f(2) = 8 \times 4 + 8 - 12 \\  \\   \rm \implies f(2) = 32 - 4 \\  \\   \rm \implies f(2) = 28

Find the missing terms in the following sequence 2,4,8,16,30, , , , 186,
ivann1987 [24]
Are you sure it is correct because for each one your just doubling the number. 2+2=4. 4+4=8. 8+8=16. I think its suppose to be 16+16= 32 and so on, but I may be wrong
