Answer:

  a. f(n) = n(n+1)/2

  b. 351

  c. 19

  d. no; n would not be an integer for f(n) = 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The terms are 1, 3, 6, 10, ...

Each term has the term number added to the previous term. That is, first differences are 3-1 = 2, 6-3 = 3, 10-6 = 4. These differences have a constant difference of 1.

When the 2nd differences are constant, a 2nd degree polynomial can describe the sequence. It is a little bit of trouble to find that polynomial.

For the polynomial ...

  f(n)=an^2+bn+c

We can substitute values for n and f(n) to get 3 equations in 3 unknowns:

  1=a\cdot1^2+b\cdot1+c\\\\3=a\cdot2^2+b\cdot2+c\\\\6=a\cdot3^2+b\cdot3+c

Solving these equations by your favorite method gives ...

  (a, b, c) = (1/2, 1/2, 0)

That is, the function representing the relationship is ...

  f(n) = n(n+1)/2 . . . . the function describing the relationship

__

b. f(26) = 26(27) = 13(27) = 351 . . . . the number of squares in term 26

__

c. The number of the term having 190 squares can be found by solving ...

  n(n +1)/2 = 190

  n(n +1) = 380 = 19(20)

The 19th term will have 190 squares.

__

d. Terms 5 and 6 are 15 and 21.

17 is not the value of one of the terms in this sequence.

Y = mx + b, where m = slope = rise/run and b, the y intercept value

m = 1/1 = 1, then y = x + b.
We notice that y intercept is = - 1
And the equation is:

Find the sine of angle S. Reduce the answer to the lowest terms.
NeX [460]

Answer:

\sin e\text{ S = }\frac{3}{5}

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of sine S

The sine of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse side

The hypotenuse side is the side that faces the right angle which is the small box. It is the longest side of the triangle and it measures 10

The opposite is the side that faces the angle which is 6

We have the sine as:

\frac{6}{10}\text{ = }\frac{3}{5}

M*(x+y)+4y/(x^2-xy-y^2)=(x+2y)/(x^2-xy-Y^2),find the value of M
dybincka [34]

Answer: M  = \frac{x-2y}{x+y}  

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{M(x+y)+4y}{x^{2}-xy-y^{2}  } =\frac{(x+2y)}{x^{2} -xy-y^{2} }

M (x + y) + 4y = x + 2y (Multiply x^{2} - xy-y^{2} in both sides)

M (x + y)  = x + 2y - 4y

M (x + y)  = x - 2y  (Divide (x+y) from both sides)

M  = \frac{x-2y}{x+y}
