Using the recurrence relation, we can find a couple more values in the sequence:

  • a3 = 3a2 -3a1 +a0 = 3(4) -3(2) +2 = 8
  • a4 = 3a3 -3a2 +a1 = 3(8) -3(4) +2 = 14

First differences are 0, 2, 4, 6, ...

Second differences are constant at 2, so the function is quadratic.

The sequence can be described by the quadratic ...

... an = n² -n +2

_____

We know the value for n=0 is 2, so we can find <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> using the given values for a1 and a2.

... an = an² +bn +2

... a1 = 2 = a·1² +b·1 +2 . . . . for n=1

... a + b = 0

... a2 = 4 = a·2² -a·2 +2 . . . . for n = 2; using b=-a from the previous equation

... 2 = 2a

... a = 1 . . . . so b = -1

FinnZ [79.3K]
2x^2 + 3xy - 4y^2 when x = 2 and y = -4
= 2(2)^2 + 3(2)(-4) - 4(-4)^2 = 2(4) + (-24) - 4(16) = 8 - 24 - 64 = -80

N76 [4]

Answer:

Final Exam score is the response variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The response variable is the variable of interest. It is what is being tested for given the predictor variables. The response variable is also called the dependent variable and from our question we want to predict final exam scores would improve if attendance is made mandatory or as the question says, required. The number of times attended is the independent variable while final exam score is the response variable.
