<u>Answer:</u>
- The first four terms are <u>4</u><u>,</u><u>8</u><u>,</u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u>,</u><u>1</u><u>6</u>
<u>Step-by-Step </u><u>Explanation</u><u>:</u>
The given relation between the nth term and it's previous term is given by:
GiveN:
Now finding the other three terms of the AP with the given relation.
Putting a1 = 4,
Now, Third term:
Putting a2 = 8,
Now, Fourth term:
Putting a3 = 12,
Hence, The first four terms of the AP is 4, 8, 12 & 16.
Answer:
197.2 million
Step-by-step explanation:
The appropriate exponential equation for the population is ...
p(t) = 172.0e^(0.019t)
Then we can compute for t=7.2:
p(7.2) = 172.0e^(0.019·7.2) ≈ 172.0·1.146599 ≈ 197.2
7.2 minutes from now, the population will be about 197.2 million.
___
For continuous growth (or continuous compounding), the exponential formula is ...
f(t) = (value at t=0)×e^(rt)
where r is the growth rate in one unit of time, and t is the number of time periods.
Answer:
a. x = 2 , x = -5
b. no real roots
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>a. x² + 3x – 10</u>
= x² - 2x + 5x - 10
= x (x²/x - 2x/x) + 5 (5x/5 - 2*5/5)
= (x - 2) (x + 5)
x - 2 = 0 x + 5 = 0
+ 2 +2 -5 -5
-------------- ---------------
x = 2 x = -5
x = 2 , x = -5
<u>b. 2x² - 4x + 3 </u>
This can't be solved because the equation has no real roots, and also the discriminant is negative.
