<u>Answer</u>
x = 20
<u>Explanation</u>
Multiply the entire equation by 2 to get rid of the fraction.
x/2 * 2 = x
-4 * 2 = -8
6 * 2 = 12
Now, we have:
x - 8 = 12
To complete, add 8 to both sides
x = 20
it takes 2 bags for each turkey for a week
4 weak are there in a month
so for one turkey=4*2
=8
so for one turkey its 8 means
2 turkey=8+8
=16
therefore it takes 16 bags for two turkey in a month
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first differences of the sequence are ...
- 5-2 = 3
- 10-5 = 5
- 17-10 = 7
- 26-17 = 9
- 37-26 = 11
Second differences are ...
- 5 -3 = 2
- 7 -5 = 2
- 9 -7 = 2
- 11 -9 = 2
The second differences are constant, so the sequence can be described by a second-degree polynomial.
We can write and solve three equations for the coefficients of the polynomial. Let's define the polynomial for the sequence as ...
f(n) = an^2 + bn + c
Then the first three terms of the sequence are ...
- f(1) = 2 = a·1^2 + b·1 + c
- f(2) = 5 = a·2^2 +b·2 + c
- f(3) = 10 = a·3^2 +b·3 +c
Subtracting the first equation from the other two gives ...
3a +b = 3
8a +2b = 8
Subtracting the first of these from half the second gives ...
(4a +b) -(3a +b) = (4) -(3)
a = 1 . . . . . simplify
Substituting into the first of the 2-term equations, we get ...
3·1 +b = 3
b = 0
And substituting the values for a and b into the equation for f(1), we have ...
1·1 + 0 + c = 2
c = 1
So, the formula for the sequence is ...
f(n) = n^2 + 1
__
The 20th term is f(20):
f(20) = 20^2 +1 = 401
