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

a used truck for $4,500 he made an agreement with the dealer to put $1,500 and make payments of 350 for the next 10 months that
Aneli [31]
Ist amount paid = $1500
Making $350 for 10 months = 10*350 = $3500
Total amount paid  = 1500 + 3500 = 5000
So an amount of $5000 was paid to cover the cost of $4500 within the ten month period.
I = PRT
Interest, I = 5000 - 4500 = 500Time, t = 10 months = 10/12 = (5/6) year.Principal P = 4500
R = I /(PT)  R = 500 / (4500*5/6)
R = (500*6) / (4500*5)
R = 0.1333..
R ≈ 13.33 %  per annum.

sineoko [7]
The initial velocity: v o = 20 m/s.And :  a = 1.5 m / s² , t = 5 s.The final velocity formula:v = v o + a · tv = 20 + 1.5 · 5v = 20 + 7.5v = 27.5 m /sAnswer: The car`s final velocity is 27.5 meters / second.

Is -2 a solution to 4x^(3)-x^(2)+16x-4
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Not a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for x=-2 to be a solution, the result after substituting must be 0:

4(-2)^3-(-2)^2+16(-2)-4\stackrel{?}{=}0

4(-8)-4-32-4\stackrel{?}{=}0

-32-40\stackrel{?}{=}0

-72\neq0

Therefore, x=-2 is not a solution to 4x^3-x^2+16x-4

Determine whether y varies directly with x. If so, find the constant of variation k and write the equation
nydimaria [60]

y/x = k

6.4/4 = 1.6

11.2 / 7 =1.6

16/10 = 1.6

20.8 /13 =1.6


This is a direct variation and the constant is 1.6

y=1.6x
