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

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

In converting 9 yards to inches, what unit (omit the number) would you place in the numerator of your ratio? Remember that there
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

  inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The "to" unit goes in the numerator. (The "from" unit goes in the denominator.) Since we're converting to inches, the numerator of the conversion factor has units of inches.

_____

  9 yd = 9 yd × (36 in)/(1 yd) = 324 in

Please help me! Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope.
andriy [413]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1. y -3 = 5(x -1)
  2. y +1 = -3(x +2)
  3. y +7 = -1/4(x -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are given a point and a slope, and asked for the equation in point-slope form, it is simply a matter of putting the given numbers into the appropriate places in the equation template.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . point (h, k), slope m

__

1. y -3 = 5(x -1) . . . . . . point (1, 3), slope 5

2. y +1 = -3(x +2) . . . . point (-2, -1), slope -3

  note that for k=-1, -k = -(-1) = +1; similarly the value of -h becomes +2

3. y +7 = -1/4(x -4) . . . point (4, -7), slope -1/4

Solve for s in terms of t, u, and v.<br> U = tsv<br> s=
Sonja [21]

Answer:

s = u/tv

Step-by-step explanation:

To make s the subject of the formula in the equation of; u = tsv

,just divide both sides by (tv)...in which on the right hand side...it will cancel out t and v,hence leaving only s and then only the left hand side..it will give you your answer;

; u = tsv

; u/tv = tsv/tv

; s = u/tv
