Answer:
46% of Xander's friends prefer to stay home on Friday nights.
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula

As given

i.e
Zanders friends prefer to stay home on Friday night = 23
Total numbers of Zanders friends are 50.
Part value = 23
Total value = 50
Put in the formula


Percentage = 46%
Therefore 46% of Xander's friends prefer to stay home on Friday nights.
The answer would be 3n^2 + 2.
This can be found/proven by replacing "n" with term number (1,2,3,4...), then solving to get the final number. For example 3 * 1^2 + 2. You would first do 1^2, which is 1. Next, you would multiply 1 by 3, to get 3. Finally, you'd and the 2 to get 5. 5 is the 1st term, and you can use this same equation to get the rest of the terms you need.
I hope this helps!
