Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
bc
1st piece = x
2nd piece = x+2
3rd piece = x+2+3 = x+5
37 = x +x+2 + x+5 =
37 = 3x+7
30=3x
x = 30/3 = 10
1st piece = 10 inches
2nd piece = 10+2 = 12 inches
3rd piece = 10+5 = 15 inches

Answer: (n-1)^2</h3>
This is because we have a list of perfect squares 0,1,4,9,...
We use n-1 in place of n because we're shifting things one spot to the left, since we start at 0 instead of 1.
In other words, if the answer was n^2, then the first term would be 1^2 = 1, the second term would be 2^2 = 4, and so on. But again, we started with 0^2 = 0, so that's why we need the n-1 shift.
You can confirm this is the case by plugging n = 1 into (n-1)^2 and you should find the result is 0^2 = 0. Similarly, if you tried n = 2, you should get 1^2 = 1, and so on. It appears you already wrote the answer when you wrote "Mark Scheme".
All of this only applies to sequence A.
side note: n is some positive whole number.
Answer:
Oh Stop!!!! This is sooooooooooooo easy! If you would just pay attention in school and not spend all your time trying to buy the new ipad pro maybe you would not have to go to Branily to get a simple answer! Do you think your teacher would like you cheating like this???? I dont think so. So get of of Branily and start studying!!!!

Answer:
C a1= -2
an = an-1 +3
Step-by-step explanation:
an = -2+ (n-1)3
What is the first term? Let n=1
a1 = -2 + 0*3
a1 = -2
The difference between the terms is +3 (coefficient on (n-1))
The second term is the first term +3
The third term is the second term plus 3
The next term is the previous term +3
so an = an-1+ 3
