Find rates of change until you find a constant.
dy/dx=1,2,3,4,5,6
d2y/dx2=1,1,1,1,1
So the acceleration, d2y/d2x, is constant. This means that this is a quadratic sequence of the form a(n)=an^2+bn+c. So we can set up a system of equations to solve for the values of a,b, and c. Using the first three points, (1,1), (2,2), and (3,4) we have:
9a+3b+c=4, 4a+2b+c=2, and a+b+c=1 getting the differences...
5a+b=2 and 3a+b=1 and getting this difference...
2a=1, so a=1/2 making 5a+b=2 become:
2.5+b=2, so b=-1/2, making a+b+c=1 become:
1/2-1/2+c=1, so c=1 so the rule is:
a(n)=0.5x^2-0.5x+1 or if you prefer to not have decimals
a(n)=(x^2-x+2)/2

<span>(a) What is the capacity of the container?
Volume = length * width * height
V = 4ft * 2ft * 3ft
V = 24 ft</span>³
<span>
(b) How much material was used to make the container?
Surface area = sum of 6 faces of the prism
4 ft x 3 ft = 12 ft</span>² → 12 ft² x 2 = 24 ft²
4 ft x 2 ft = 8 ft² → 8 ft² x 2 = 16 ft²
2 ft x 3 ft = 6 ft² → 6 ft² x 2 = 12 ft²
<span>
Surface area = 24 ft</span>² + 16 ft² + 12 ft² = 52 ft²
Answer:
1. - 6.75
2. 15/28
3. - 3.3
Step-by-step explanation:
The first is correct because a positive times a negative is a negative.
The second is incorrect. It should be 15/28 because a negative times a negative is a positive.
The third is incorrect because a positive times a negative is a negative.
The answer should be
1. - 6.75
2. 15/28
3. - 3.3
