Which explicit formula generates the infinite sequence 2, 9, 28, 65, 126, ...?
Dimas [21]
1. The terms of a sequence are denoted by u_{1} ,  u_{2}, u_{3}, u_{4}, u_{5},...

2.
 u_{1}  = 2  = 2*1

  u_{2} = 9 = 3*3
 
u_{3} = 28 = 4*7

u_{4} = 65 = 5*13

u_{5} = 126 = 6*21


3. so it is clear that the first columns add each time by one, and the second column add by 2, then by 4, by 6, by 8 and so on.

4. consider only the second column and how we get the terms, which we will call t_{1} , t_{2}, t_{3}, t_{4}, t_{5},...:

t_{1}=1

t_{2}=1+2

t_{3}=1+2+4=1+2+2*2

t_{4}=1+2+4+6=1+2+2*2+2*3=1+2(1+2+3)

t_{5}=1+2+2*2+2*3+2*4=1+2(1+2+3+4)

5.
So

u_{n}=(n+1)(1+2{1+2+3+....(n-1)})
        
         =(n+1)(1+2 [(n-1)n/2])

         = (n+1)(1+(n-1)n)
       
         =(n+1)( n^{2}-n+1 )


6. We can check: u_{3} = (3+1)( 3^{2}-3+1 )=4*(9-3+1)=4*7=28

7. Remark: Gauss addition formula: 1+2+3+....+n=n(n+1)/2

Solving Quadratic Equations: Factoring
Radda [10]

Answer:

The factored form of the equation is (x+4)(x-6)=0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because (x-4)(x+2)=x^2-4x+2x-8=16,

so that means x^2-2x-8=16,

move 16 to the other side,

you get x^2-2x-8-16=0,

simplify,

you get x^2-2x-24=0,

which satisfies (x+4)(x-6)=0 when factored out.

Because (x+4)(x-6)=x^2+4x-6x-24=x^2-2x-24=0.
