Note: 1 inch = 2.54 cm is an exact converion, while 1 mile=1.6km is only approximate.

Using conversion
1 inch=2.54 cm
1 mile = 1760*3*12 = 63360 in = 160934.4 cm 
If 1 inch = 1 mile, then 
2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.609344 km
1 cm : 0.6336 km   (exactly), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)

Using both conversions:
1 inch = 2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.6 km
=>
2.54 cm : 1.6 km
1 cm : 1.6/2.54=0.6299 km (approximately), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)

What is the nth term for the sequence 5 , 14 , 29 , 50 , 77
Marina86 [1]
The answer would be 3n^2 + 2.

This can be found/proven by replacing "n" with term number (1,2,3,4...), then solving to get the final number. For example 3 * 1^2 + 2. You would first do 1^2, which is 1. Next, you would multiply 1 by 3, to get 3. Finally, you'd and the 2 to get 5. 5 is the 1st term, and you can use this same equation to get the rest of the terms you need.

I hope this helps!
