Volume = 20,670 inches cubed
Surface Area = 3915 inches squared
It represents a geometric sequence because it has a common ratio of 2.
In fact, a sequence is said to be geometric if any two adjacent elements are in the same ratio. In other words, if you choose any index
and consider the two consecutive terms
and
, you have

no matter which index you chose. In your case, the next term in the sequence is always the double of the previous one, so the ratio between two consecutive terms is always 2, and the series is geometric with common ratio 2
13 and 2, I think that is the only one left.
The standard form of a parabola is y=ax²+bx+c
use the three given points to find the three unknown constants a, b, and c:
-2=a+b+c............1
-2=4a+2b+c......... 2
-4=9a+3b+c...........3
equation 2 minus equation 1: 3a+b=0..........4
equation 3 minus equation 2: 5a+b=-2.........5
equation 5 minus equation 4: 2a=-2, so a=-1
plug a=-1 in equation 4: -3+b=0, so b=3
Plug a=-1, b=3 in equation 1: -2=-1+3+c, so c=-4
the parabola is y=-x²+3x-4
double check: when x=1, y=-1+3-4=-2
when x=2, y=-4+6-4=-2
when x=3, y=-9+9-4=-4
Yes.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) - g(x) = -9x^2 - 7x + 12 - (3x^2 - 4x - 15) Remove the brackets
f(x) - g(x) = -9x^2 - 7x + 12 - 3x^2 + 4x + 15
f(x) - g(x) = -9x^2 - 3x^2 - 7x + 4x + 12 + 15
f(x) - g(x) = -12x^2- 3x + 27
Answer D
