D. Clustering is a short term saying data points/value!!
Answer:
The first five terms of the given sequence
3, 6, 11, 18, 27
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
an=n² +2
<u>To find the first five terms</u>
a₁ = 1² + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3
a₂ = 2² + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6
a₃ = 3² + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11
a₄ = 4² + 2 = 16 + 8 = 18
a₅ = 5² + 2 = 25 + 2 = 27
Therefore the first five terms of the given sequence
3, 6, 11, 18, 27
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 16b^2c^12-0.25 can be rewritten as follows because it is the difference of two squares:
(4bc^6 - .5)(4bc^6 + .5)
b. 81x^6y^2-0.36a^2
is the difference of two squares, just like (a) (above); its factors are:
(9x^3y - 0.6a)(9x^3y + 0.6a)
-2-3x=3+1x
-2-3=1x+3x
-5=4x
x=-1.25
