The number 5, behing the decimal
Answer:
Number of points, x, Number of segments, y
x: 2, 3, 4, 5, ... N,. ...
y: 1, 3, 6, 10, ... (N-1)(N)/2, ...
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding Nth point, there are N-1 new segments,
and (sum over {i = 1 to N-1} of i) total segments. As Gauss knew when he was c.10 yo, the sum is (N-1)(N)/2.
You shouldn't need a calculator for this. The quadratic equation is written in standard form.
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
You substitute a, b, and c into the discriminant formula and solve as shown in the example in the picture you provided.
(-7)^2 - 4(2)(-8)
49 - 4(-16)
49 - (-64)
49 + 64
113
Best of Luck!
