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

Kianna lives in a town where the streets are laid out in a grid. She uses a coordinate plane to draw a map of the town, with her
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

1. The coordinates of Jo’s house are (-4,-2).

2. Kianna walks 8 blocks west, and 2 blocks south.

3. The coordinates of Elena’s house are (4,-2).

4. Kianna is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since Jo’s house is reflected across both axes, we must reflect the coordinates two times. So we can reflect the coordinates of Kianna’s house across the x-axis first, which would give you the coordinates (4,-2). Then we reflect (4,-2) across the y axis, giving us the coordinates (-4,-2). So Jo’s house has the coordinates (-4,-2).

3. Since Elena’s house is only a reflection of Jo’s house across the x-axis only,  we can reflect Kianna’s house’s coordinates (4,2). When we reflect (4.2) over the x-axis, that gives us the coordinates (4,-2). So therefore Elena’s house has the coordinates (4,-2).

4. Kianna is incorrect, if Elena’s house was a reflection of her house across the y-axis, the coordinates would be (-4,2).

(A reflection can be thought of as folding or "flipping" an object over the line of reflection. The original object is called the pre-image, and the reflection is called the image.)

Hope this helps.

A local bank in town offers two types of savings plan with different interest rates to customers. Plan A offers an annual intere
scoray [572]
Assuming he had not dealt with the bank offering plan B before, he has nothing deposited two years back.  Hence plan B only gives him only 0.2% annual interest for his deposit.
Plan A gives 0.25% for his deposit all the time.
So plan A is more advantageous.

For durations, 
To reach $1,000,000 from $100,000, the money needs to grow 10 fold, or
(1+i)^n=10
n=log(10)/log(1+i).

So for plan A:
n=log(10)/log(1.0025)=922.18 years, while for

plan B
n=log(10)/log(1.0020)=1152.44 years.
 
Hope the bank(s) still exist at that time.
