N= numerator
D= denominator

N:D ==> 2:3

2:3, 4:6, 6:9... And so on...

The pattern here is that the numerator increases by 2 and the denominator by 3. Easy right?

Now 5 is added to the "n".

Now it is N:D ==> 3:2

3:2, 6:4, 9:6... And so on...

The pattern here is inverted then the 2:3 one.

If I'm right then which one (you might have to continue the process/pattern) then one of them will increase by 5.

3 => 2 = +1 (2+1=3)
6 => 4 = +2 (4+2=6)
9 => 6 = +3 (6+3=9)
12 => 8 = +4 (8+4=12)
15 => 10 = +5 (10+5=15)
18 => 12= +6 (12+6=18)

Q. Which one is +5?

A. 15:10

That is what "I" think it is.

Now, the question is,
Does it work? Does it fit the above description?

Q. Does it even work? Does it fit the above description?

Determine whether Point A lies on the circle whose center is Point C and whichcontains the Point P. Justify your answer mathemat
Arada [10]

The Solution:

Given:

Center = (0,0)

Point A = (-5,2) being a point on the circle.

We are required to check if point P = (2,-5) is on the circle.

Solving the given problem graphically, we have:

From the above graph, it is clear that point P(2,-5) is a point on the circle.

What is 4,7,12,19,28 in quadratic form
Naddik [55]
Asked and answered elsewhere.

You obviously don't mind using "technology" (Brainly) to answer these questions. A graphing calculator can do quadratic regression on the sequence and tell you its formula.

If you want to do it by hand, you can write the equation
.. y = ax^2 +bx +c
and substitute three of the given points. Then solve the resulting three linear equations for a, b, and c.
.. 4 = a +b +c
.. 7 = 4a +2b +c
.. 12 = 9a +3b +c

Subtracting the first equation from the other two reduces this to
.. 3 = 3a +b
.. 8 = 8a +2b
The latter can be divided by 2, so reduces to
.. 4 = 4a +b
Subtracting the first of the reduced equations from this, you have
.. 1 = a
so
.. 3 = 3*1 +b
.. 0 = b
and
.. 4 = a + b + c = 1 + 0 + c
.. 3 = c

And your equation is
.. y = x^2 +3 . . . . . . as shown previously
