Answer:

n² - 2n + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in the pattern are odd numbers.

2 - 1 = 1

5 - 2 = 3

10 - 5 = 5

17 - 10 = 7

So there is a -2n in the nth term.

If we subtract 1 on each term.

0, 1, 4, 9, 16

We get whole squares.

So there is a n² in the nth term.

(1)² - 2(1)+ c = 1

1 - 2 + c = 1

-1 + c = 1

c = 2

The nth term is:

n²-2n+2

Answer:

$V(x)=(4x^{3}-40x^{2}+100x)\ cm^3$

The domain for x is all real numbers greater than zero and less than 5 com

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>The question is</u></em>

What is the volume of the open top box as a function of the side length x in cm of the square cutouts?

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Let

x -----> the side length in cm of the square cutouts

we know that

The volume of the open top box is

$V=LWH$

we have

$L=(10-2x)\ cm$

$W=(10-2x)\ cm$

$H=x)\ cm$

substitute

$V(x)=(10-2x)(10-2x)x\\\\V(x)=(100-40x+4x^{2})x\\\\V(x)=(4x^{3}-40x^{2}+100x)\ cm^3$

Find the domain for x

we know that

$(10-2x) > 0\\10> 2x\\ 5 > x\\x < 5\ cm$

The domain is the interval (0,5)

The domain is all real numbers greater than zero and less than 5 cm

therefore

The volume of the open top box as a function of the side length x in cm of the square cutouts is

$V(x)=(4x^{3}-40x^{2}+100x)\ cm^3$
