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

Mathematics

Anni [7]3 years ago

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

Find the area of the circle to the<br> nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for it<br> (11 mm)
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The area of the circle is 379.94 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need to use the area formula of a circle:

a = area

r = radius = 11 mm

π = 3.14

a = π * r²

we replace with the known values

a = 3.14 * (11 mm)²

a = 3.14 * 121 mm²

a = 379.94 mm²

Round to the nearest tenth

a = 379.94 mm² = 379.9 mm²  

The area of the circle is 379.9 mm²

What does the median represent in a set of numbers?
Alja [10]

Answer:

The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. The median is sometimes used as opposed to the mean when there are outliers in the sequence that might skew the average of the values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps :)
