Answer:

The values of a, b and c are:

  • a = 3
  • b = 1
  • c = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

First Confirm the sequence is quadratic by finding the second difference.

Sequence = 1,11,27,49

1st difference:

  • 11-1=10
  • 27-11=16
  • 49-27=22

2nd difference:

  • 16-10=6
  • 22-16=6

Step 2:

Just divide the second difference by 2, you will get the value of a.

6 ÷ 2 = 3

So the first term of the nth term is 3n^{2}

Step 3: Next, substitute the number 1 to 5 into  3n^{2}

n = 1,2,3,4,5

3n² = 3,12,27,48,75

Step 4:

Now, take these values (3n²) from the numbers in the original number sequence and work out the nth term of these numbers that form a linear sequence.

n = 1,2,3,4,5

3n² = 3,12,27,48,75

Differences:

1 - 3 = -2

11 - 12 = -1

27 - 27 = 0

49 - 48 = 1

Now the nth term of these differences (-2,-1,0,1) is (n - 1) - 2.

so b = 1, and c = -3

Step 5: Write down your final answer in the form an² + bn + c.

3n² + (n - 1) -2

= 3n² + n - 1 - 2

= 3n² + n - 3

Therefore, the values of a, b and c are:

  • a = 3
  • b = 1
  • c = -3

When is the product of two integers less than or equal both of the two factors?
Kaylis [27]
When one (not two!) of them is negative:

for example the product of -1 and 6 is -6, which is less than both factors.

It's equal to both factors when they're both 1:

While developing x-bar and R charts, the manager took 10 samples each of size 6. The average of sample means was 3.2. The averag
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Option a. 1.2 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

sample size n = 10

sub group = 6

The average of sample means x" = 3.2

Average range value R' = 0.6

the value of UCL for the R-chart = ?

To get the value of UCL for the R-chart, we say;

UCL_R = D₄ × R'

from table of constants "Tabular values for x-bar and range charts

for size 6, the factor for control limits for range D₄ = 2.004

so we substitute  

UCL_R = 2.004 × 0.6  

UCL_R = 1.2024 ≈ 1.2  

Hence, Option a. 1.2 is the correct answer.
