It is B because I had the question before in my school
Answer:
-2n²
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the image attached:
We see that the second differences (blue ones) are all equal so we conclude that this is a quadratic sequence.
The quadratic sequence has the form:
To find the value of a we just divide second difference ( -4 ) by 2:
Now we have:
Substitute 
and 
into the equation above:
Since 
= -2 and 
= -8 , after simplification we have:
The solution of this system is:
The general term is :
500 = 10x + 2 * 15 * 5 + 15x
500 = 25x + 150
500 - 150 = 25x
350 = 25x
x = 14
Triangular ends: 14 * 10 = 140
Base rectangle: 14 * 15 = 210
side rectangles: 5 * 15 * 2 = 150
140 + 210 + 150 =
Im pretty sure it’s going to be a, because when you divide by the -6 you’re supposed to switch the sign
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I inferred you need a brief explanation about The Collatz conjecture.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Put simply, what the Collatz conjecture unsolved problem entails is that if any positive number is picked and it is:
- An even number (eg 2, 4, 6,...), then if they are divided by 2, the new number gotten should undergo the same process (that is to be divided by 2), it is believed your calculation would finally end up at 1. For example, let's pick the number 6, (6÷2=4; repeating the process 4÷2=<u>1</u>)
- An odd number, then if they are multiplied by 3 and 1 is added to the result, it is believed that your calculation would finally end up at 1.
