use the method of successive differences to determine the next term in the sequence: 4, 14, 82, 268, 657, 1359

1 answer:

6 0

The method of successive differences uses subtraction to the one number to the next and the process goes on until the difference settles constant which is not equal to zero. In this case, the constant difference reaches 25. Reversing the process to get the next term, the answer is 2509.

There is no work to show. It is really just trial and error till you get the hang of it. You look at the multiples of the last term and find.which add or subtract to the middle terms coefficient. Use DeCartes law of signs to determine if it is plus or minus.

P=69 degrees
Q=71 degrees
R=40 degrees

Explanation

All triangles equal up to 180 degrees.
First add all numbers without x.
Then add all xs.

5x+20=180
Subtract 20 from 180

5x=160
Divide 160 by 5

x=40
