Answer:

The expression of the pattern is n² + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Charlie starts with 3 guppy fish in his tank

- After one month he finds 6 guppy fish in his tank

- The following month, he finds 11 guppy fish in his tank

∵ The increasing in the next month is ⇒ 6 - 3 = 3

∵ The increasing in the following month is ⇒ 11 - 6 = 5

- The number is increasing by the consecutive odd numbers

∴ The nth rule is quadratic ⇒ an² + bn + c, where

   a + b + c = 1st term

   3a - b = the first difference

   2a = the constant difference between each two difference

∵ The first term is 3

∴ a + b + c = 3

∵ The first difference is 6 - 3 = 3

∴ 3a - b = 3

∵ 6 - 3 = 3 and 11 - 6 = 5

∵ 5 - 3 = 2

∴ The constant difference is 2

∴ 2a = 2 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ a = 1

∵ 3a - b = 3

∴ 3(1) - b = 3

∴ 3 - b = 3 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ b = 0

∵ a + b + c = 3

∴ 1 + 0 + c = 3

∴ 1 + c = 3 ⇒ subtract 1 from both sides

∴ c = 2

∵ The nth rule is ⇒ an² + bn + c , where n is the position of the number

∴ The nth rule = (1)n² + (0)n + 2

∴ The nth rule = n² + 2

∴ The expression of the pattern is n² + 2

PLEASE HELP I CANT CONTINUE WITH MY WORK UNLESS THESE ARE COMPLETE AND CORRECT
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

1) x=3, y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 7y = 9 —— (1)

-4x -7y = 9 —— (2)

(1) + (2)

6x = 18

x = 18/6

x = 3

put x=3 in (1)

10(3) + 7y = 9

30 + 7y = 9

7y = 9 - 30

7y = -21

y = -21/7

y = -3

Find the slope please
Katarina [22]

Answer:

slope is -\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

1,-1  -3,2 are two points on the graph

the equation to find slope is \frac{y_{1}- y_{2} }{x_{1}- x_{2} }

so \frac{2--1}{-3-1} = -\frac{3}{4}

or you can count how many places it changed in the equation \frac{rise}{run}
