Answer:

a_{n} = 2n - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the difference in consecutive terms is constant, that is

1 - (- 1) = 3 - 1 = 5 - 3 = 7 - 5 = 2

This indicates that the terms are an arithmetic sequence with

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 1 and d = 2, thus

a_{n} = - 1 + 2(n - 1) = - 1 + 2n - 2 = 2n - 3

emmasim [6.3K]

f(x) has vertex = (- 1, - 5 ) and is a minimum

g(x) has vertex = (2, 3 ) and is a maximum

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

f(x) = (x + 1)² - 5 is in this form with vertex = (- 1, - 5 ) and minimum

to determine if maximum/ minimum

• if a > 0 then minimum

• if a < 0 then maximum

g(x) = - (x - 2)² + 3 is also in vertex form with a < 0

vertex = (2, 3 ) and is a maximum

(picture) is this the correct way to solve 19?
goldfiish [28.3K]

I cant see your work very clearly so I'll work it out below:-

f(x + Δx) = (x + Δx)^2 - 2(x + Δx) - 3

= x^2 + 2x(Δx) + (Δx)^2 - 2x - 2(Δx) - 3

= x^2 - 2x + (Δx)^2 + 2x(Δx) - 2(Δx) - 3

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 8.8 cm and a base with a diameter of 18.6 cm. Round your answer to
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: Volume = 796.6 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining the volume of a cone which is expressed as

Volume = 1/3 × πr²h

Where

r represents the radius of the cone.

h represents the vertical height of the cone.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the information given,

Diameter of cone = 18.6 cm

Radius = diameter/2

Radius = 18.6/2 = 9.3 cm

Height = 8.8cm

Therefore,

Volume = 1/3 × 3.14 × 9.3² × 8.8

Volume = 1/3 × 3.14 × 86.49 × 8.8

Volume = 796.6 cm³
