Answer: -5
Step-by-step explanation: The common difference is the same number we are adding each time to get from one term to the next.
In this sequence, we are adding -5 each time
so our common difference is -5.
Answer:
9,500,000 950,000,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Each number is 100 times the previous. Basically, add 2 zeros to get the next number.
- 9.5
- 950
- 95,000
- 9,500,000
- 950,000,000
Answer:
x^2 - 2x + 5 = 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
The (0, 5) is the point where the parabola passes through the y axis (where x = 0), so we can write the equation as
y = ax^2 + bx + 5 where a and b are constants to be found.
Also, since (1, 4) and (2, 5) are points on the curve, substituting, we have the system:
a(1)^2 + 1b + 5 = 4
a(2)^2 + 2b + 5 = 5
Simplify these 2 equations:
a + b = -1 .................(1)
4a + 2b = 0..................(2)
Multiply the first equation by -2:
-2a - 2b = 2 .................(3)
Add (2) + (3):
2a = 2
a = 1.
Substitute a = 1 into (2):-
4*1 + 2b = 0
2b = -4
b = -2.
Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b = -1 and a = -3
The average rate of change = 
f(b) = f(-1) = 3(-1)^2 - 5 = 3 - 5 = -2
f(a) = f(-3) = 3(-3)^2 - 5 =27 - 5 = 22
f(b) - f(a) = -2 - 22 = -24
b - a = -1 + 3 = 2
= -24/2 = -12
For #2:
<span> 3x^2 + 4 – 2x^2 + 6</span>
<span><span>You need to combine your like terms:
</span>
3x^2 – 2x^2= x^2</span>
4 + 6 = 10
This will now give you:
<span>X^2 +10</span>
