If you look at the sequence, you would observe:

5 - 2 = 3, 8 - 5 = 3, 11 - 8 = 3.

There is a common difference of 3, so the sequence is an Arithmetic Progression.

nth term of an AP =   a + (n - 1)d

where a = 1st term = 2, d = common difference = 3

nth term of an AP =   a + (n - 1)d

nth term of an AP =   2 + (n - 1)*3 = 2 + 3*n  - 3*1 = 2 + 3n - 3

=  2 - 3 + 3n

= -1 + 3n

= 3n - 1

The nth term =  3n - 1,  where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,....

I hope this explains it.

Which one doesn’t belong? Why? Explain.
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

(x - 2)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 2)(x + 2) = x² - (2)² [Since (a - b)(a + b) = a² - b²]

                   = x² - 4

There are two terms in this expression. Therefore, the give term is a binomial.

(2x - 1)(x + 4) = 2x(x + 4) - 1(x + 4) [Distributive property]

                    = 2x² + 8x - x - 4

                    = 2x² + 7x - 4

There are three terms in this polynomial. Therefore, the given polynomial is a trinomial.

(x + 4)(x + 1) = x(x + 1) + 4(x + 1)

                   = x² + x + 4x + 4

                   = x² + 5x + 4

This polynomial is having 3 terms therefore, it's a trinomial.

(m - 4)(m + 1) = m(m + 1) - 4(m + 1)

                     = m² + m - 4m - 4

                     = m² - 3m - 4

Therefore, this polynomial is a trinomial.

Since (x - 2)(x + 2) is a binomial, so this expression doesn't belong to this group.
