Is this question correct ?
Answer:
aₙ= -2n²
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2><u>Solution 1:</u></h2>
The sequence:
The difference between the terms:
- a₁= -2
- a₂= a₁ - 6 = a₁ - 2*3= a₁- 2*(2²-1)
- a₃= a₂ - 10 = a₁ - 16= a₁ - 2*8= a₁ - 2*(3²-1)
- a₄= a₃- 14= a₁ - 30= a₁ - 2*15= a₁ - 2*(4² -1)
- ...
- aₙ= a₁ -2*(n²-1)= -2 -2n² +2= -2n²
As per above, the nth term is: aₙ= -2n²
<h2><u /></h2><h2><u>Solution 2</u></h2>
The sequence:
- -2, -8, -18, -32, -50
- -2*1, -2*4, - 2*9, -2*25
- -2*1², -2*2², -2*3², -2*4², -2*5², ..., -2*n²
- aₙ= -2n²
Answer:
y-1 = f(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to choose the equation for the ref graph
The red graph as we can see is above the black
This means it is more positive
The difference between the two is just 1 unit
By the addition of 1 to the y-value of the black graph, we get the red
Thus, we have that;
y- 1 = f(x)
The answer is ............... 21
