Liz's math test included a survey question asking how many hours students spent studying for the test. The scatter plot below sh
ows the relationship between how many hours students spent studying and their score on the test.
Which of the following is the best estimate of the average score change associated with a 1 hour increase in study time?

Answer:
3n² + 5n - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given sequence</u>:
6, 20, 40, 66, 98, 136, ...
Calculate the <u>first differences</u> between the terms:
As the first differences are not the same, calculate the <u>second differences:</u>
As the <u>second differences are the same</u>, the sequence is quadratic and will contain an n² term.
The <u>coefficient</u> of the n² term is <u>half of the second difference</u>.
Therefore, the n² term is: 3n²
Compare 3n² with the given sequence:
The second operations are different, therefore calculate the differences <em>between</em> the second operations:
As the differences are the same, we need to add 5n as the second operation:
Finally, we can clearly see that the operation to get from 3n² + 5n to the given sequence is to subtract 2.
Therefore, the nth term of the quadratic sequence is:
3n² + 5n - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
for triangle HLM
180-2x
180-(3x+6)
H
2x=3x-10
x=10°
180-36=144°
36-20=16°
H=2x
H= 180-144-16= 20°
