Step-by-step explanation:
<span>The next number should be 4. If you look at every other number, even and odd alternate. 2 is even, 7 is odd, etc. Since 9 is odd, the next number should be even. To figure out what number specifically, you will want to break up the numbers into three columns. 2 3 __
7 12 17
8 9 10 From here, you can see that the pattern will be adding 1 for the top row, 5 for the middle row, and 1 for the bottom row. Since the unknown number is on the top right of the first row, you will add 1 to 3, and the answer is 4.</span>
Let
a1=1/40
a2=4/40
a3=9/40
a4=16/40
a5=25/40
a6=?
we know that
a2-a1=4/40-1/40----> 3/40
a3-a2=9/40-4/40-----> 5/40
a4-a3=16/40-9/40----> 7/40
a5-a4=25/40-16/40---> 9/40
the difference is
3/40,5/40,7/40.9/40,....
3/40+[2/40]---> 5/40
5/40+[2/40]---> 7/40
7/40+[2/40]---> 9/40
the next will be
9/40+[2/40]-----> 11/40
so
the next term is 25/40+[11/40]------> 36/40
the answer is
36/40
Answer:
-19ab + 2ab^2 +7
Step-by-step explanation:
all you do is combine the like terms. and the omly like terms are -10ab and -9ab. 2ab^2 is not one of the like terms simply because of that ^2.
