These are so-called  Hexagonal numbers. The general formula for the n-th hexagonal number is:
h_n=2n^2-n
h_n=\frac{2n(2n-1)}{2}
Let's compute a couple of them:
h_1=2(1)^2-1=1\\
h_2=2(2)^2-2=8-2=6\\
h_3=2(3)^2-3=18-3=15\\
h_4=2(4)^2-4=32-4=28\\
h_5=2(5)^2-5=50-5=45\\

Indeed this is our pattern.
The answer is:
multiply the term number by 2, subtract 1 from the result, multiply by 2 times the term number, and divide the result by 2.

The correct response is ;
<span>multiply the term number by 2, subtract 1 from the result, multiply by 2 times the term number, and divide the result by 2.
if term number is x,
the number in the pattern for xth term is ;
multiply term number by 2 - 2x
subtract 1 - 2x - 1
multiply by 2 times the term number - (2x-1) * 2x
divide by 2 - (</span>(2x-1) * 2x)/2
so first term x=1
((2*1-1) * 2*1)/2
2/2 = 1
second term x = 2
((2*2-1) * 2*2)/2
(3*4)/2 = 6
third term x = 3
((2*3-1) * 2*3)/2
5*6/2 = 15
fourth term  x= 4
((2*4-1) * 2*4)/2
56/2 = 28
Therefore the above response shows the correct pattern

A quadratic function and an exponential function are graphed below. How do the decay rates of the functions compareover the inte
Kobotan [32]

To check the decay rate, we need to check the variation in y-axis.

Since our interval is

-2We need to evaluate both function at those limits.At x = -2, we have a value of 4 for both of them, at x = 0 we have 1 for the exponential function and 0 to the quadratic function. Let's call the exponential f(x), and the quadratic g(x).[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-2)=g(-2)=4 \\ f(0)=1 \\ g(0)=0 \end{gathered}

To compare the decay rates we need to check the variation on the y-axis of both functions.

\begin{gathered} \Delta y_1=f(-2)-f(0)=4-1=3 \\ \Delta y_2=g(-2)-g(0)=4-0=4 \end{gathered}

Now, we calculate their ratio to find how they compare:

\frac{\Delta y_1}{\Delta y_2}=\frac{3}{4}

This tell us that the exponential function decays at three-fourths the rate of the quadratic function.

And this is the fourth option.

Ill mark brainliest!!
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

$60

Step-by-step explanation:

So from the question, we need to find the fixed amount for the tv's. So we have to make an equation, and don't forget to add the extended warranties:

11(x + 25) = 935

x will represent a tv, and the 25 is the extended warranty for a tv, since the questions states 11 tv's with warranties is 935, the equation will look like that. Now lets slove:

11(x + 25) = 935

multiply

11x + 275 = 935

subtract 275 from both sides

11x = 660

divide both sides by 11

x = 60, each tv is $60
