Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
a^6 + 4 a^5 + 5 a^4 - 5 a^2 - 4 a - 1
Discussion:
You may need to clean things up a bit but suppose that
S(1) = a-1
S(2) = a^2 -1
Since this is a geometric series, the geometric ratio is given by
S(2)/ S(1) = (a^2 -1)/ (a-1)
= (a+1)(a-1)/ (a-1)
= a+1
Conclusion:
S(2) = (a+1) S(1) = (a+1) (a-1)
S(3) = (a+1) S(2) = (a+1) (a+1) (a-1) = (a+1)^ (3-1) (a-1)
S(4) = (a+1) S(3) = (a+1) * (a+1)^2 (a-1) ) = (a+1)^(4-1) (a-1)
in general.....
S(n) = (a+1)^ (n-1) (a-1)
So
S(6) = (a+1)^ (6-1) (a-1)
= (a-1) (a+1) ^ 5
= a^6 + 4 a^5 + 5 a^4 - 5 a^2 - 4 a - 1
Hope I didn't screw something here!
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
f(n) = 6n + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference in consecutive number of seats, that is
42 - 36 = 36 - 30 = 30 - 24 = 24 - 18 = 6
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 18 and d = 6 , then
f(n) = 18 + 6(n - 1) = 18 + 6n - 6 = 6n + 12
Sure this question comes with a set of answer choices.
Anyhow, I can help you by determining one equation that can be solved to determine the value of a in the equation.
Since, the two zeros are - 4 and 2, you know that the equation can be factored as the product of (x + 4) and ( x - 2) times a constant. This is, the equation has the form:
y = a(x + 4)(x - 2)
Now, since the point (6,10) belongs to the parabola, you can replace those coordintates to get:
10 = a (6 + 4) (6 - 2)
Therefore, any of these equivalent equations can be solved to determine the value of a:
10 = a 6 + 40) (6 -2)
10 = a (10)(4)
10 = 40a
