Dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt)
dy/dt = 2bt
dx/dt = 3at^2
therefore dy/dx = 2bt/3at^2
dy/dx = 2b/3at
In simple words you just find what is being added to each term in order to get the next term. Subtracting 17 by 12 you get 5, 22 minus 17 is 5 as well. Now that what is being added is found, you go by the last term given which is 27. You keep adding 5 to the number until you get to the 22nd term which would result in 117. If you would want to know the equation in order for it to be plugged in then you would use f(x)= 7+5x . You would want to use this equation instead of f(x)= 12+5x because putting 1 as x would make it equal to 17 which is NOT the first term but the second.
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees, so no.
Without a picture, no way to solve this
