What is the nth term for the sequence 5 , 14 , 29 , 50 , 77

1 answer:

8 0

The answer would be 3n^2 + 2.

This can be found/proven by replacing "n" with term number (1,2,3,4...), then solving to get the final number. For example 3 * 1^2 + 2. You would first do 1^2, which is 1. Next, you would multiply 1 by 3, to get 3. Finally, you'd and the 2 to get 5. 5 is the 1st term, and you can use this same equation to get the rest of the terms you need.

I hope this helps!

<h3>How to illustrate the functions?</h3>

1st example: The cost of a bag of rice is $100 and subsequent bags cost $95. Illustrate. the function to calculate the cost for p bags of rice.

The function will be:

C = 100 + (95 × p)

C = 100 + 95p

2nd example: The cost of a pen is $5. Find the cost of s pens.

The function will be:

C = 5 × p
