Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

To find the first 4 terms substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4 into the n th term formula.

a₁ = 1 + 5 = 6

a₂ = 2 + 5 = 7

a₃ = 3 + 5 = 8

a₄ = 4 + 5 = 9

For the 10 th term substitute n = 10, that is

a₁₀ = 10 + 5 = 15

The first 4 terms are 6, 7, 8, 9 and the 10 th term is 15

(b)

Substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 10 into the n th term formula

a₁ = 2(1) - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1

a₂ = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

a₃ = 2(3) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

a₄ = 2(4) - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

a₁₀ = 2(10) - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19

The first 4 terms are 1, 3, 5, 7 and the 10 th term is 19

Penelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square. F(x) = 4x2 8x 1 –1 = 4x2 8x –1 = 4(x2 2x)

Ymorist [56]

By solving the quadratic equation using completing the square method we got that Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.

<h3>What is quadratic equation ?</h3>

Any equation of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called quadratic equation .

Given work of Penelope is

$\begin{aligned}&f(x)=4 x^{2}+8 x+1 \\&-1=4 x^{2}+8 x \\&-1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x\right) \\&-1+1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x+1\right) \\&0=4(x+2)^{2} \\&0=(x+2)^{2} \\&0=x+2 \\&-2=x\end{aligned}$

Now we can see that Penelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square. so he must have been done as following

$\begin{aligned}&f(x)=4 x^{2}+8 x+1 \\&-1=4 x^{2}+8 x \\&-1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x\right) \\&-1+4=4\left(x^{2}+2 x+1\right) \\&3=4(x+2)^{2} \\&\frac{3}{4} =x+2)^{2} \\&\frac{\pm\sqrt3}{2} =x+2 \\&\frac{-2\pm\sqrt3}{2} =x\end{aligned}$

By solving the quadratic equation using completing the square method we got that Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.
