Answer:

t(n) = 2n² + n - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given sequence: </u>

  • 0, 7, 18, 33, 52

Find the formula for nth term t(n)

<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric, analyzing:</u>

  • 0, 7, 18, 33, 52

<u>First level difference</u>

  • 7, 11, 15, 19

<u>Second level difference</u>

  • 4, 4, 4

<u>As there are two levels, the formula should be in the form of:</u>

  • t(n) = an² + bn + c

<u>Trying the formula with the known terms:</u>

  • t(1) = 0 ⇒ a+b + c= 0
  • t(2) = 4a + 2b + c = 7 ⇒ 3a + b = 7
  • t(3) = 9a + 3b + c = 18 ⇒ 3(3a+b) + c = 18 ⇒ 21 + c = 18 ⇒ c = -3

<u>Going back to previous equations to find remaining coefficients:</u>

  • t(1) ⇒ a+ b = 3 ⇒ t(2) = 2a + (a+b) = 7 ⇒2a + 3 = 7 ⇒ a= 2 ⇒ b = 1

<u>So the formula becomes:</u>

t(n) = 2n² + n - 3

What is descriptive language
mixer [17]
Descriptive language is vivid and specific, and helps someone imagine a scene he didn't witness. ... The word descriptive comes from the Latin descript-, meaning "written down." Something that is descriptive uses an account of words to give us a sense of what it's like.

Using factor theorem , show that (x -4) is a factor 2x3 + x2 -26x - 40 and hence factorize completely.
notka56 [123]

Step-by-step explanation:

if x-4 is a factor of 2x^3 + x^2- 26x - 40

then f(4) = 0

f(x) = 2x^3 + x^2- 26x - 40

f(4) = 2(4)^3 + (4)^2 - 26(4) - 40

f(4)= 2(64) + 16 - 104 - 40

f(4) = 128 + 16 - 104 - 40

f(4) = 0

hence factorize completely is the photo
