Answer:
f(3) = - 18
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate f(3) , substitute x = 3 into f(x) , that is
f(3) = - 4(3 + 1) - 2 = - 4(4) - 2 = - 16 - 2 = - 18
Answer:
78
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
First day (a) = 1
1 more pebble every subsequent day than the previous day
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
d = common difference ; difference between pebbles in two successive days = 1
n = nth day
At the end of the 12th day;
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
T(12) = 1 + (12 - 1) 1
T(12) = 1 + 11
T(12) = 12
Appling the sun if arithmetic progression formula : Sum of AP:
n/2 (a + Tn)
n = number of terms
12/2 (1 + 12)
6(13)
= 78
4. Let the numbers be x - 2, x, and x + 2, where x is an odd number.
2(x² - 4) - 4x = (x + 2)² + 21
2x² - 8 - 4x = x² + 4x + 4 + 21
2x² - 4x - 8 = x² + 4x + 25
x² - 8x - 33 = 0
(x - 11)(x + 3) = 0
x = 11, or -3
When x = 11, x - 2 = 9, x + 2 = 13
When x = -3, x - 2 = -5, x + 2 = -1
Explanation: You are on the right track. However, rather than having three unknown variables, try to reduce your working out to one unknown variable. Since you know they are consecutive odd numbers, you can simply let x be the middle term and the other two be + and - 2, provided x is an odd number.
That will reduce your variable issues, and helps as the first and third provide a difference of two squares, and this works out very nicely.
Q5: is essentially the same process. Let your variables be something in the form of one unknown variable, and you should be okay from there. Let me know if you're stuck.
