Answer:-The function f(x) is an arithmetic sequence.

Explanation:-

Let $a_1$ be the initial value

According to the question

$a_2=a_1+4$

$a_3=a_2+4\\\Rightarrow\ a_3=(a_1+4)+4\\\Rightarrow\ a_3=a_1+4+4\\\Rightarrow\ a_3=a_1+2(4)\\\Rightarrow\ a_3=a_1+2\times4\\\Rightarrow\ a_3=a_1+(3-1)4$ and so on

Thus, we can write a formula for the term n of an arithmetic sequence in the form:

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)4$

where, n=1,2,3,4,....

4= common difference

Therefore, the function f(x) is an arithmetic sequence.

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which each term increases or decreases by a constant number.

assuming that no questions are left unanswered, in how many ways can a six-question quiz with 4-choice multiple choice questions

AfilCa [17]

Given:

Total number of questions = 6

Choice for each question (in MCQ) = 4

Assuming that no questions are left unanswered.

To find:

The total number ways to answer the quiz, assuming that no questions are left unanswered.

Solution:

Here, Number of ways to answer each question = 4

To find the total number ways to answer 6 MCQ, we have to have to multiply number of ways to answer each question 6 times.

Total number of ways to answer six-question quiz with 4-choice multiple choice questions is

$4\times 4\times 4\times 4\times 4\times 4=4096$

Therefore, the required number of ways is 4096.

Are AB and CD parallel, perpendicular, or neither?*<br> 1. A(-4, 8), B(4, 10), C(1, 1), D(-2, 13)

ohaa [14]

Answer:

Perpendicular

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (-4, 8)$

$B = (4, 10)$

$C = (1, 1)$

$D = (-2, 13)$

Required

Is AB and CD parallel?

First, we need to calculate the slope (m) of AB and CD

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

For AB:

$A (x_1,y_1)= (-4, 8)$

$B(x_2,y_2) = (4, 10)$

So:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{10 - 8}{4 - (-4)}$

$m = \frac{10 - 8}{4 +4}$

$m = \frac{2}{8}$

$m = \frac{1}{4}$

For CD:

$C(x_1,y_1) = (1, 1)$

$D(x_2,y_2) = (-2, 13)$

So:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{13 - 1}{-2 - 1}$

$m = \frac{12}{-3}$

$m = -4$

For Lines to be parallel, the slope must be equal:

i.e. $m_1 = m_2$

This condition is not true because:

$\frac{1}{4} \neq -4$

For Lines to be perpendicular, the slope must be:

$m_1 = -\frac{1}{m_2}$

This implies:

$\frac{1}{4} = -\frac{1}{-4}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{-1}{-4}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$

<em>Hence, the lines are perpendicular</em>
