= 9n + 63
generate the first few terms using the recursive equation
f(1) = 72
f(2) = 72 + 9 = 81
f(3) = 81 + 9 = 90
f(4) = 90 + 9 = 99
the sequence is 72, 81, 90, 99, .....
This is an arithmetic sequence whose n th term formula is
= 
+ (n - 1 )d
where is the first term and d the common difference
d = 99 - 90 = 90 - 81 = 81 - 72 = 9 and = 72
= 72 + 9(n - 1) = 72 + 9n - 9 = 9n + 63 ← explicit formula
Let w = number of weeks.
In week w,
Laura has: 720 + 30w
Taylor has: 1200 - 30w
Set the two amounts equal and solve for w, the number of weeks.
720 + 30w = 1200 - 30w
60w = 480
w = 8
They will have the same amount of money in 8 weeks.
Laura will have in 8 weeks:
720 + 30w = 720 + 30 * 8 = 720 + 240 = 960
Taylor will have in 8 weeks:
1200 - 30w = 1200 - 30 * 8 = 1200 - 240 = 960
They will both have $960 in 8 weeks.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The two points on the line are:
Now, for a line with two points on it, the slope of the line is given as:
For the points 
, slope is:
Now, for a line with slope 'm' and a point 
on it is given as:
Plug in all the values and determine the equation of the line. This gives,
Therefore, the equation of the line is:
Answer:
2(x + 2)² - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + 8x + 3
To obtain the required form use the method of completing the square.
The coefficient of the x² term must be 1, thus factor 2 out of 2x² + 8x
= 2(x² + 4x) + 3
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 4x
= 2(x² + 2(2)x + 4 - 4) + 3
= 2(x + 2)² - 8 + 3
= 2(x + 2)² - 5
with p = 2 and q = - 5
