Why is 5 to the 2 power also read as 5 sqaured

Mathematics

Monica [59]3 years ago

The reason for this has to do with finding the area of a square. When you are looking for the area of a square, you use the rectangle formula (since a square is also a rectangle).

The formula is Area = Length * Width

However, since in a square, the length and width are the same, both get changed to the word "Side". As a result, we get the following formula.

Area = Side * Side

This can be simplified to:

Area = Side^2.

Since each number to the second power also shows the area of a square with that given length sides, it can also be called "squared".

Here are the first four terms of an arithmetic sequence. 3 10 17 24 Find, in terms of n, an expression for the nth term of this
ollegr [7]

Answer:

a_{n} = 7n - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 3 and d = a₂ - a₁ = 10 - 3 = 7 , thus

a_{n} = 3 + 7(n - 1) = 3 + 7n - 7 = 7n - 4
