Answer: x=2

3x−9x+7−3=−8

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x−9x+7−3=−8

3x+−9x+7+−3=−8

(3x+−9x)+(7+−3)=−8

−6x+4=−8

−6x+4−4=−8−4

−6x=−12

−6x

−6

−12

−6

x=2

Determine formula of the nth term 2, 6, 12 20 30,42

nalin [4]

Check the forward differences of the sequence.

If $\{a_n\} = \{2,6,12,20,30,42,\ldots\}$ , then let $\{b_n\}$ be the sequence of first-order differences of $\{a_n\}$ . That is, for n ≥ 1,

$b_n = a_{n+1} - a_n$

so that $\{b_n\} = \{4, 6, 8, 10, 12, \ldots\}$ .

Let $\{c_n\}$ be the sequence of differences of $\{b_n\}$ ,

$c_n = b_{n+1} - b_n$

and we see that this is a constant sequence, $\{c_n\} = \{2, 2, 2, 2, \ldots\}$ . In other words, $\{b_n\}$ is an arithmetic sequence with common difference between terms of 2. That is,

$2 = b_{n+1} - b_n \implies b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

and we can solve for $b_n$ in terms of $b_1=4$ :

$b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-1}+2) + 2 = b_{n-1} + 2\times2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-2}+2) + 2\times2 = b_{n-2} + 3\times2$

and so on down to

$b_{n+1} = b_1 + 2n \implies b_{n+1} = 2n + 4 \implies b_n = 2(n-1)+4 = 2(n + 1)$

We solve for $a_n$ in the same way.

$2(n+1) = a_{n+1} - a_n \implies a_{n+1} = a_n + 2(n + 1)$

Then

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-1} + 2n) + 2(n+1) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-1} + 2 ((n+1) + n)$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-2} + 2(n-1)) + 2((n+1)+n) \\ ~~~~~~~ = a_{n-2} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1))$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-3} + 2(n-2)) + 2((n+1)+n+(n-1)) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-3} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1) + (n-2))$

and so on down to

$a_{n+1} = a_1 + 2 \displaystyle \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} k = 2 + 2 \times \frac{n(n+3)}2$

$\implies a_{n+1} = n^2 + 3n + 2 \implies \boxed{a_n = n^2 + n}$

What is the y coordinate of the solution 3x+2y=12

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2y=12

2y=-3x+12

y=-3/2+12

Honestly you dont have to do any of this work but i did it anyways, The y coordinate is always at the end of the point intercept form (y=mx+b form)

A sapling, or young tree, is planted in a garden. After 3 years, it is 180 cm tall. After 7 years, it is 368 cm tall. What is th

Mashcka [7]

The function modelled by the height (x) of the tree is as follows:
y - 180 = (368 - 180)/(7 - 3) (x - 3)
y - 180 = 47(x - 3) = 47x - 141
y = 47x - 141 + 180 = 47x + 39

Therefore, after 10 years, the tree will be 47(10) + 39 = 470 + 39 = 509 cm tall

Find the y-intercept of the line who's equation is Y = 3.5 x- 0.4.

agasfer [191]

$\sf y=mx+b$

m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

so that means that the y-intercept of

$\sf y=3.5x + .4$

is $\sf .4$

$\bf{\huge{\boxed{y-intercept = .4}}}$
