1. Analyze the following pattern: 1, 2, 5, 10, 17,

Mathematics
1 answer:
valentinak56 [21]4 years ago
6 0

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

Cos^2x+cos^2(120°+x)+cos^2(120°-x)<br>i need this asap. pls help me​
o-na [289]

Answer:

\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the addition formulae for cosine

cos(x ± y) = cosxcosy ∓ sinxsiny

---------------------------------------------------------------

cos(120 + x) = cos120cosx - sin120sinx

                   = - cos60cosx - sin60sinx

                   = - \frac{1}{2} cosx - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} sinx

squaring to obtain cos² (120 + x)

= \frac{1}{4}cos²x + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinxcosx + \frac{3}{4}sin²x

--------------------------------------------------------------------

cos(120 - x) = cos120cosx + sin120sinx

                   = -cos60cosx + sin60sinx

                   = - \frac{1}{2}cosx + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinx

squaring to obtain cos²(120 - x)

= \frac{1}{4}cos²x - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinxcosx + \frac{3}{4}sin²x

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Putting it all together

cos²x + \frac{1}{4}cos²x + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinxcosx + \frac{3}{4}sin²x + \frac{1}{4}cos²x - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinxcosx + \frac{3}{4}sin²x

= cos²x + \frac{1}{2}cos²x + \frac{3}{2}sin²x

= \frac{3}{2}cos²x + \frac{3}{2}sin²x

= \frac{3}{2}(cos²x + sin²x) = \frac{3}{2}

If you help will make you brainlest
Bumek [7]

Answer:

see below

Step by step explanation

\because \: revenue = price \times demand \\   \therefore \: r(x) = x.d(x) \\ \therefore \: r(x) =x(200 - 2x)  \\\therefore \: r(x) = \boxed{200x - 2 {x}^{2}  }

Solving Rational Inequalities and use sign diagram to sketch the graph. Image attached for better understanding.
Digiron [165]

Answer:

x ∈ (-∞, -1) ∪ (1, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we must factor the expression that is shown in the denominator of the inequality.

So, we have:

x ^ 2-1 = 0\\x ^ 2 = 1

So the roots are:

x = 1\\x = -1

Therefore we can write the expression in the following way:

x ^ 2-1 = (x-1)(x + 1)

Now the expression is as follows:

\frac{(x-2) ^ 2}{(x-1) (x + 1)}\geq0

Now we use the study of signs to solve this inequality.

We have 3 roots for the polynomials that make up the expression:

x = 1\\x = -1\\x = 2

We know that the first two are not allowed because they make the denominator zero.

Observe the attached image.

Note that:

(x-1)\geq0 when x\geq-1

(x + 1)\geq0 when x\geq1

and

(x-2) ^ 2 is always \geq0

Finally after the study of signs we can reach the conclusion that:

x ∈ (-∞, -1) ∪ (1, 2] ∪ [2, ∞)

This is the same as

x ∈ (-∞, -1) ∪ (1, ∞)

A rectangle has a height of 5 and a width of 4x^2 – 2x – 6.
bogdanovich [222]

The area of the rectangle is 20x^{2} -10x-30 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The area of a rectangle is obtained by multiplying the length with the width of the rectangle.

Considering this a whole rectangle, the length of the rectangle is 5 units and the width is the sum of 4x^{2}, -2x, and -6.

So the length of the rectangle = 5 units and

the width of the rectangle = 4x^{2} -2x-6 units.

The area of a rectangle = (length)(width).

Step 2:

By substituting the known values, we get

The area of the rectangle = (5) (4x^{2} -2x-6) = 20x^{2} -10x-30.

So the area of the rectangle is 20x^{2} -10x-30 units.
