Answer:
4, 13, 28, 49
Step-by-step explanation:
1st term = 3 × (1)² + 1 = 4
2nd term = 3 × (2)² + 1 = 13
3rd term = 3 × (3)² + 1 = 28
4th term = 3 × (4)² + 1 = 49
When you plug the equation into a graphing calculator the x-intercept is -5
Or you can set the equation equal to 0 and solve for x.
Answer:
y = 110/3 or 36.6 (the 6 is infinite so make a line over it when entering the answer)
Let

In order to prove this by induction, we first need to prove the base case, i.e. prove that P(1) is true:

So, the base case is ok. Now, we need to assume
and prove
.
states that

Since we're assuming
, we can substitute the sum of the first n terms with their expression:

Which terminates the proof, since we showed that
