Answer:X= 1.84. Y= 3.08

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x+8y =8 ............i

-8x+10y= -16........ii

Multiply equation I by 8

Multiply equation ii by 9

-72x+64y = 64 ..... iii

-72x+90y = 144 ..... iv

Subtract iv from iii

-26y = -80

y= 80/26

y= 3.08

Put the value of y in equation i

-9x+8y =8

-9x+8(3.08) = 8

-9x+24.64 = 8

-9x = 8-24.64

-9x=-16.64

Divide both side by 9

-9x/-9 = -16.64/-9

X= 1.84

Work out the formula for the nth term of the<br>quadratic sequence:<br>5, 11, 19, 29

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

n squared + 3n + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5,11,19,29

Firstly look at the difference between each number. The first difference is 6 then 8 then 10 etc. After that you look at your created sequence - 6,8,10 etc. The difference is 2 each time. Then applying rules, you have to do the constant difference divided by 2 to get a coefficient of n squared. So in this case it's n squared because 2/2 = 1 so you don't have to place a 1 in front of the n squared. After you create a sequence from the n squared. That would be 1,4,9 etc. Then you need to see how to get from the sequence: 1,4,9 etc to your original sequence: 5,11,19 etc. So if you calculate it you will get 4,7,10 because firstly 5-1 = 4 then 11-4 = 7 etc. The sequence 4,7,10 is a linear sequence so the constant difference is 3 each time. So to get a nth term of a linear sequence you will start off as 3n then you will substitute 1 then 2 then 3 into the 3n. Therefore that would be 3,6 etc. So if you take the first substituted term, that would be 3 as said before then you will have to see how to get from the 3 to 4 so that is just adding 1. So the nth term of this linear sequence is 3n + 1. Check if it works at the end. So the overall nth term of the quadratic sequence is n squared as said before + 3n + 1.
