The correct response is ;
<span>multiply the term number by 2, subtract 1 from the result, multiply by 2 times the term number, and divide the result by 2.
if term number is x,
the number in the pattern for xth term is ;
multiply term number by 2 - 2x
subtract 1 - 2x - 1
multiply by 2 times the term number - (2x-1) * 2x
divide by 2 - (</span>(2x-1) * 2x)/2
so first term x=1
((2*1-1) * 2*1)/2
2/2 = 1
second term x = 2
((2*2-1) * 2*2)/2
(3*4)/2 = 6
third term x = 3
((2*3-1) * 2*3)/2
5*6/2 = 15
fourth term x= 4
((2*4-1) * 2*4)/2
56/2 = 28
Therefore the above response shows the correct pattern
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
when you raise an exponent to a power you multiply
Also since the terms inside the parenthesis are multiplied and not added, you don't have to worry about expanding it
Answer:
Adults $ 17
Students: $8
Step-by-step explanation:
Adults: x
Students: y
a) 25x + 31y = 673
b) 27x +31y = 707
Elimination:
a) -1(25x + 31y = 673) = -25 -31y = -673
a + b
= (-25 -31y = -673) + (27x + 31y = 707)
= 2x = 34
x = 34/2
x = 17
Substitution a or b:
a) 25(17) + 31y = 673
425 + 31y = 673
31y = 673 - 425
31y = 248
y = 248/31
y = 8
