Answers:

<h2>C & D</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two general types of sequences that follow a pattern, geometric and arithmetic. Let's see the difference between the two:

An arithmetic sequence is produced by adding the same number to all the terms in the sequence.

EXAMPLE:

5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 (The number 2 is added to all terms)

To figure out if a sequence is arithmetic, subtract the first term from the second, then the second from the third and so on until you have checked all the terms.

7 - 5 = 2

9 - 7 = 2

11 - 9 = 2

13 - 11 = 2

15 - 13 = 2

17 - 15 = 2

All results equal 2, so the sequence is arithmetic

From your list: The following sequences are arithmetic

A. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 (common difference of 5)

The next type of sequence is the geometric sequence.

A geometric sequence is produced when the all the terms in the sequence are multiplied or divided by the same number.

EXAMPLE:

100, 50, 25 (Each term is divided by 2)

To figure this out, we divide each term in the sequence by the next term.

100 / 50 = 2

50 / 25 = 2

All results are two, so this sequence can be confirmed to be geometric

From your list: The following sequences are geometric

C. 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.3125 (common quotient of 2)

D. -9, -3, -1, -1/3, -1/9, -1/27 (common quotient of -3)

There is one final type of sequence, which has no common difference, sum, quotient, or product.

EXAMPLE:

5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15

This sequence has a pattern, the differences between the numbers are not common.

6 - 5 = 1

8 - 6 = 2

9 - 8 = 1

11 - 9 = 2

12 - 11 = 1

14 - 12 = 2

15 - 14 = 1

From your list: The following sequences are neither geometric nor arithmetic

B. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 (No pattern)

I'n always happy to help :)

Mallory puts $1.00 in a jar. The following week, she puts 2 times that original amount in the jar. For each of the next six week
Burka [1]

The relationship of the ordered pair that represents Mallory savings is a nonlinear relationship.

Let x represents the number of weeks, and y represents the amount put in the jar, each week.

So, we have the following highlights for 6 weeks.

  • Week 1: (1, 1)
  • Week 2: (2,2)
  • Week 3: (3,4)
  • Week 4: (4,8)
  • Week 5: (5,16)
  • Week 6: (6,32)

The ordered pairs can then be represented as:

(x,y) = (1,1)(2,2)(3,4)(4,8)(5,16)(6,32)

As the x values increase, the y values increase too, but the y values do not increase at a constant rate.

This means that the relationship is not linear; it is an exponential relationship.

Hence, the relationship is a nonlinear relationship.

Please help me with this!
salantis [7]

The original area of a face would be a^2. Now that you added b to the edge, the new area of each face would be (a+b)^2. To find how much the are increased, subtract a^2 from (a+b)^2. (a+b)^2-(a^2)= a^2+2ab+b^2-(a^2)= 2ab+b^2= b(2a+b) So the answer is b(2a+b)

What is this answer. The circumference (c) of a circle can be defined as C=2pi r,where r is the radius of the circle. The circum
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Circunferencie can be writen also as a fuction of the diameter of the circle

C = pi*D

Where

D = circunferene diameter

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 2.pi.R = 2.R.pi

In a circle 2.R = D

So,

C = pi.D

Find a formula for the nth term of the sequence in terms of n. the sequence​ 1, 0,​ 1, 0,​ 1, ...
timofeeve [1]

If the sequence is like this, you actually don’t have to formulate a formula. You just have to formulate a principle. You just have to remember that when n is an odd number, the value would always be 1. If the n is an even number, the value would always be 0.
