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

Write an equation that is 10 less than 3 times a number y, multiplied by 2 and divided by 4. (10 less than 3 times a number y is
IgorC [24]

Answer: (3y - 10)*2÷4

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 10 less than 3 times a number, y, is done first, it is in parenthesis.  The 3 is there to represent the "three times" and the -10 is there to represent the "ten less".  The *2 is there to represent the "multiplied by two" and the ÷4 is there to represent the "divided by 4"

Hope it helps, and tyvm <3

The recursive rule for a geometric sequence is given. <br><br> a1 = 6; an = 1/4 an-1
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

an = 6 (1/4)^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given the first term, a₁ = 6.

The common ratio is a term aₓ divided by the previous term aₓ₋₁.

aₓ = 1/4 aₓ₋₁

aₓ / aₓ₋₁ = 1/4

r = 1/4

Therefore:

an = 6 (1/4)^(n-1)

Your answer is correct, good job!
