We find the first differences between terms:
7-4=3; 12-7=5; 19-12=7; 28-19=9.
Since these are different, this is not linear.
We now find the second differences:
5-3=2; 7-5=2; 9-7=2. Then:

Since these are the same, this sequence is quadratic.
We use (1/2a)n², where a is the second difference:
(1/2*2)n²=1n².

We now use the term number of each term for n:
4 is the 1st term; 1*1²=1.
7 is the 2nd term; 1*2²=4.
12 is the 3rd term; 1*3²=9.
19 is the 4th term; 1*4²=16.
28 is the 5th term: 1*5²=25.

Now we find the difference between the actual terms of the sequence and the numbers we just found:

4-1=3; 7-4=3; 12-9=3; 19-16=3; 28-25=3.

Since this is constant, the sequence is in the form (1/2a)n²+d;
in our case, 1n²+d, and since d=3, 1n²+3.
The correct answer is n²+3

Select the scenario that correctly represents the given graph.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

C. The vertical distance of a roller coaster from the ground changes with respect to its horizontal distance from the beginning of the ride.

Step-by-step explanation:

See how the graph is in a "U" shape? That tells us that it first decreases and then goes back up at some point.

The way you would find this answer is to go through each scenario (A, B, C, and D) and think about which thing would make sense to go down and then up.

20 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST!! Write an exponential function in the form y=ab^x
Rudik [331]

Answer:

y=13(4)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the exponential function of the form:

y=ab^x

And it goes through the points (0, 13) and (3, 832).

Hence, when we substitute in 0 for x, we should get 13 for y. Therefore:

13=ab^0

Since anything to the zeroth power is 1, this yields:

a=13

So, we determined that the value of a is 13.

So, our function is now:

y=13b^x

We will need to determine b. We know that y equals 832 when x is 3. Hence:

832=13(b)^3

Divide both sides by 13:

b^3=64

Take the cube root of both sides:

b=4

Hence, our b value is 4.

Therefore, our entire equation is:

y=13(4)^x

Let C(x) be the statement "x has a cat", let D(x) be the statement "x has a dog" and let F(x) be the statement "xhas a ferret".
Arturiano [62]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) be the statement "x has a cat"

D(x) be the statement "x has a dog"

F(x) be the statement "x has a ferret".

Universe = x = all students in your class.

a) A student in your class has a cat, a dog and a ferret   = ∃x(C(x) ∧ D(x) ∧ F(x))

b) All students in your class have a cat, a dog, or a ferret  =  ∀x(C(x) ∨ D(x) ∨ F(x))

c) Some students in your class has a cat and a ferret but not a dog  = ∃x (C(x) ∧ F(x) ∧ ¬D(x))

d) No student in this class has a cat, a dog and a ferret  ¬∃x (C(x) ∧ D(x) ∧ F(x))

e) For each of the three animals, cats, dogs and ferrets, there is as student in your class who has one of the three animals.  (∃xC(x)) ∧ (∃xD(x)) ∧ (∃xF(x))
