Answer:

3n^2

Step-by-step explanation:

3, 12, 27, 48, 75

List the differences between terms:-

9, 15, 21, 27

Now find the second differences:-

6, 6, 6

The sequence in the question is quadratic and the first coefficient ( that of n^2) = 6/2 = 3. The first term in the nth term formula is 3n^2.

Now we write out the original sequence and the 3n^2 values as follows:-

3 12 27 48 75

They are the same so the formula for the nth term is 3n^2.

The height of 2 ball in meters is given by the quadratic equation y= -5+² +14t +3, where t is the time in seconds. After how man

melisa1 [442]

Answer: after 3 seconds

when the ball hit the ground => - 5t² + 14t + 3 = 0

⇔ (5t + 1)(t - 3) = 0

⇔ t = 3 or t = -1/5

but t is a positive integer => t = 3

so the ball will hit the ground after 3 seconds
