Missing part of the question
Determine the number of handshakes, i, that will occur for each number of people, n, in a particular room. (people)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
For 5 people

Using the given instance of 5 people, the number of handshakes can be represented as:

The above sequence is an arithmetic sequence and the total number of handshakes is the sum of n terms of the sequence.

Where
--- The first term
--- The last term
So:


#5: cost: y
Number of beads: x
y=0.48*x
So for 4 beads: 1.92
for 5 beads: 2.4
#6: the x th term in the sequence is y
y=17-2x
The 10th term is -3
Yes that’s completely true because of course you can’t say it is false
