Write the first 10 terms of a sequence who’s first term is -10 and who is common difference is -2

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

y = 2x² - 5x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, imagine the standard form, which is:

f(x) = ax² + bx + c = y

Using the table, and adding that y at the end, we can plug in and write out the following equations. (Writing it out is important):

f(-1) = a(-1)² + b(-1) + c = 14

f(0) = a(0)² + b(0) + c = 7

f(1) = a(1)² + b(1) + c = 4

f(2) = a(2)² + b(2) + c = 5

Now if this doesn't look familiar, it's actually a systems of equations using the a, b, and c elements as your three variables! If you simplify the equations:

f(-1) = a - b + c = 14

f(0) = c = 7

f(1) = a + b + c = 4

f(2) = 4a + 2b + c = 5

Something unique just happened. We have already defined what ' c ' is!

c = 7

Setting that aside, if you remove the f(x) portion of the equations, you're left with:

a - b + c = 14

a + b + c = 4

4a + 2b + c = 5

Using the two upper equations, if we add them together (you can do that as it doesn't change the values of the variables) you get:

2a + 2c = 18

Note: the ' b ' variables cancelled out in the addition [ b + (-b) ]

If you further simplify the equation:

a + c = 9

Awesome. Now we already know that c = 7, so if you plug that into the equation:

a + 7 = 9

Solve for a. So then a = 2

Now that we know the following:

a = 2

c = 7

We can then use the equation:

a + b + c = 4

And solve for b!

2 + b + 7 = 4

Simplify.

b + 9 = 4

Simplify.

b = -5

Now at this point, since you know what a, b and c are, you can write the equation!

f(x) = 2x² - 5x + 7

You can confirm your work by putting any of the x values in the table through!

The following table shows the estimated populations and annual growth rates for four countries in the year 2000. Find the

gladu [14]

Answer:

Part 1) Australia $19,751,012\ people$

Part 2) China $1,319,645,764\ people$

Part 3) Mexico $109,712,539\ people$

Part 4) Zaire $60,534,681\ people$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential growth function is given by

$P(t)=a(1+r)^t$

where

P(t) is the population

t is the number of years since year 2000

a is he initial value

r is the rate of change

Part 1) Australia

we have

$a=19,169,000\\r=0.6\%=0.6\100=0.006$

substitute

$P(t)=19,169,000(1+0.006)^t$

$P(t)=19,169,000(1.006)^t$

Find the expected population in 2025,

Find the value of t

t=2005-2000=5 years

substitute the value of t in the equation

$P(5)=19,169,000(1.006)^5=19,751,012\ people$

Part 2) China

we have

$a=1,261,832,000\\r=0.9\%=0.9\100=0.009$

substitute

$P(t)=1,261,832,000(1+0.009)^t$

$P(t)=1,261,832,000(1.009)^t$

Find the expected population in 2025,

Find the value of t

t=2005-2000=5 years

substitute the value of t in the equation

$P(5)=1,261,832,000(1.009)^5=1,319,645,764\ people$

Part 3) Mexico

we have

$a=100,350,000\\r=1.8\%=1.8\100=0.018$

substitute

$P(t)=100,350,000(1+0.018)^t$

$P(t)=100,350,000(1.018)^t$

Find the expected population in 2025,

Find the value of t

t=2005-2000=5 years

substitute the value of t in the equation

$P(5)=100,350,000(1.018)^5=109,712,539\ people$

Part 4) Zaire

we have

$a=51,965,000\\r=3.1\%=3.1\100=0.031$

substitute

$P(t)=51,965,000(1+0.031)^t$

$P(t)=51,965,000(1.031)^t$

Find the expected population in 2025,

Find the value of t

t=2005-2000=5 years

substitute the value of t in the equation

$P(5)=51,965,000(1.031)^5=60,534,681\ people$
