Answer:

A quadratic function.

y=2.5x^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot the points given in the table, you obtain the graph shown in the figure attached.

As you can see, it is a parabola, therefore, the function that best models the data is a quadratic function.

By definition, the parent function of a quadratic function is:

y=x^{2}

You can compress or stretch it in the y-direction by multiplying the function by a constant C:

 y=Cx^{2}

If 0, then the function is compressed.

If C>1, then the function is stretched.

You can find the constant of the function asked as following:

- Substitute x=1 into the parent function to obtain the y-coordinate:

y=(1)^{2}=1

Then the point is (1,1)

- As you can see, with x=1 you obtain y=1 in the parent function, and in the function given in the table when x=1, y=2.5, therefore, the function is multiplied by 2.5. Therefore the constant is:

C=2.5

Then the function is:

y=2.5x^{2}

Miguel made $286 for 13 hours of work.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The key here is to find out how much he makes per hour. We can find that out using the info given.

286 = 13x so

x = 22 dollars per hour. For 7 hours of work then,

7(22) = $154

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used. Match each verbal description of a sequen
galben [10]

Answer:

I think the question is wrong so, I will try and explain with some right questions

Step-by-step explanation:

We are give 6 sequences to analyse

1. an = 3 · (4)n - 1

2. an = 4 · (2)n - 1

3. an = 2 · (3)n - 1

4. an = 4 + 2(n - 1)

5. an = 2 + 3(n - 1)

6. an = 3 + 4(n - 1)

1. This is the correct sequence

an=3•(4)^(n-1)

If this is an

Let know an+1, the next term

an+1=3•(4)^(n+1-1)

an+1=3•(4)^n

There fore

Common ratio an+1/an

r= 3•(4)^n/3•(4)^n-1

r= (4)^(n-n+1)

r=4^1

r= 4, then the common ratio is 4

Then

First term is when n=1

an=3•(4)^(n-1)

a1=3•(4)^(1-1)

a1=3•(4)^0=3.4^0

a1=3

The first term is 3 and the common ratio is 4, it is a G.P

2. This is the correct sequence

an=4•(2)^(n-1)

Therefore, let find an+1

an+1=4•(2)^(n+1-1)

an+1= 4•2ⁿ

Common ratio=an+1/an

r=4•2ⁿ/4•(2)^(n-1)

r=2^(n-n+1)

r=2¹=2

Then the common ratio is 2,

The first term is when n =1

an=4•(2)^(n-1)

a1=4•(2)^(1-1)

a1=4•(2)^0

a1=4

It is geometric progression with first term 4 and common ratio 2.

3. This is the correct sequence

an=2•(3)^(n-1)

Therefore, let find an+1

an+1=2•(3)^(n+1-1)

an+1= 2•3ⁿ

Common ratio=an+1/an

r=2•3ⁿ/2•(3)^(n-1)

r=3^(n-n+1)

r=3¹=3

Then the common ratio is 3,

The first term is when n =1

an=2•(3)^(n-1)

a1=2•(3)^(1-1)

a1=2•(3)^0

a1=2

It is geometric progression with first term 2 and common ratio 3.

4. I think this correct sequence so we will use it.

an = 4 + 2(n - 1)

Let find an+1

an+1= 4+2(n+1-1)

an+1= 4+2n

This is not GP

Let find common difference(d) which is an+1 - an

d=an+1-an

d=4+2n-(4+2(n-1))

d=4+2n-4-2(n-1)

d=4+2n-4-2n+2

d=2.

The common difference is 2

Now, the first term is when n=1

an=4+2(n-1)

a1=4+2(1-1)

a1=4+2(0)

a1=4

This is an arithmetic progression of common difference 2 and first term 4.

5. I think this correct sequence so we will use it.

an = 2 + 3(n - 1)

Let find an+1

an+1= 2+3(n+1-1)

an+1= 2+3n

This is not GP

Let find common difference(d) which is an+1 - an

d=an+1-an

d=2+3n-(2+3(n-1))

d=2+3n-2-3(n-1)

d=2+3n-2-3n+3

d=3.

The common difference is 3

Now, the first term is when n=1

an=2+3(n-1)

a1=2+3(1-1)

a1=2+3(0)

a1=2

This is an arithmetic progression of common difference 3 and first term 2.

6. I think this correct sequence so we will use it.

an = 3 + 4(n - 1)

Let find an+1

an+1= 3+4(n+1-1)

an+1= 3+4n

This is not GP

Let find common difference(d) which is an+1 - an

d=an+1-an

d=3+4n-(3+4(n-1))

d=3+4n-3-4(n-1)

d=3+4n-3-4n+4

d=4.

The common difference is 4

Now, the first term is when n=1

an=3+4(n-1)

a1=3+4(1-1)

a1=3+4(0)

a1=3

This is an arithmetic progression of common difference 4 and first term 3.
