What is the nth term of quadratic sequence 4 7 12 19 28

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

Answer:

A = 58

B =:25

Step-by-step explanation:

C = A + B

83 = 9x + 4 + 4x + 1

83 = 13x + 5

13x = 78

x = 78/13

x = 6

A = 9x + 4 = 9 x 6 + 4 = 58

B = 4x + 1 = 4 x 6 + 1 = 25

If Rick wishes to reduce his BMI to 27, he needs to eat fewer kcalories than he expends. For an adolescent who carries excess fa
Nesterboy [21]

This question is not complete because his height and age was not indicated in the above question.

Complete Question:

Rick is a healthy 19-year-old college student who is 70 inches tall and weighs 205 pounds. He has decided to "get a six-pack" over the summer with a diet and exercise program. As part of his new plan, he has stopped drinking soda and is eating more salads in addition to his usual diet. Besides of these changes, he is unclear on how to proceed to reach his fitness goal. Rick's mother wants to make sure his approach will not interfere with his normal growth and development, and has asked him to seek reliable information to help him make a reasonable plan.

If Rick wishes to reduce his BMI to 27, he needs to eat fewer kcalories than he expends. For an adolescent who carries excess fat, the recommended maximal weight loss is one pound per week. Since there are 3500 kcalories in a pound of body fat, a deficit of 3500 kcalories for the week or 500 kcalories per day would be required. Calculate the maximum number of kcalories Rick can consume per day to achieve a weight loss of one pound per week. Assume that his weight is 205 pounds and that his physical activity factor is "low active."

Answer:

2696 kilocalories

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1

First we need to calculate Rick's Basal Metabolic Rate( BMR)

Weight in pounds = 205 pounds

Age = 19 years

Height in inches = 70 inches

The formula for calculating Basal Metabolic Rate for men =

BMR = 66.47 + ( 6.24 × weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 × height in inches ) − ( 6.755 × age in years )

BMR = 66.47 + ( 6.24 × 205 ) + ( 12.7 × 70 ) − ( 6.755 × 19)

= 2247

STEP 2:

The next step is to calculate the maximum amount kilocalories per day Rick should consume

Formula is given as :

For a person with physical activity factor of a ' low Active'

Maximum amount of kilocalories to consume per day = Basal Metabolic rate × 1.2

= 2247 × 1.2

= 2696 Kilocalories (kcalories) per day

PLEASE HELP IM BEGGING! U WILL EARN 85 POINTS - WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Part A</h3>
  • The graph is attached
<h3>Part B</h3>
  • |2x - 4| = mx + 1

It has only one solution when the line mx + 1 is parallel to one part of |2x - 4|.

As per graph, we see m = 2 makes it parallel to y = 2x - 4. This is the only solution.

---------------------------

Now, as I understand, you are looking for 2 solutions instead of one. It means the line mx + 1 will have 2 points of intersection with the line |2x - 4|.

One of those solutions is attached as well, where m = 1. And you may get many more options for this.
