Determine formula of the nth term 2, 6, 12 20 30,42

nalin [4]

Check the forward differences of the sequence.

If $\{a_n\} = \{2,6,12,20,30,42,\ldots\}$ , then let $\{b_n\}$ be the sequence of first-order differences of $\{a_n\}$ . That is, for n ≥ 1,

$b_n = a_{n+1} - a_n$

so that $\{b_n\} = \{4, 6, 8, 10, 12, \ldots\}$ .

Let $\{c_n\}$ be the sequence of differences of $\{b_n\}$ ,

$c_n = b_{n+1} - b_n$

and we see that this is a constant sequence, $\{c_n\} = \{2, 2, 2, 2, \ldots\}$ . In other words, $\{b_n\}$ is an arithmetic sequence with common difference between terms of 2. That is,

$2 = b_{n+1} - b_n \implies b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

and we can solve for $b_n$ in terms of $b_1=4$ :

$b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-1}+2) + 2 = b_{n-1} + 2\times2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-2}+2) + 2\times2 = b_{n-2} + 3\times2$

and so on down to

$b_{n+1} = b_1 + 2n \implies b_{n+1} = 2n + 4 \implies b_n = 2(n-1)+4 = 2(n + 1)$

We solve for $a_n$ in the same way.

$2(n+1) = a_{n+1} - a_n \implies a_{n+1} = a_n + 2(n + 1)$

Then

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-1} + 2n) + 2(n+1) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-1} + 2 ((n+1) + n)$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-2} + 2(n-1)) + 2((n+1)+n) \\ ~~~~~~~ = a_{n-2} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1))$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-3} + 2(n-2)) + 2((n+1)+n+(n-1)) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-3} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1) + (n-2))$

and so on down to

$a_{n+1} = a_1 + 2 \displaystyle \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} k = 2 + 2 \times \frac{n(n+3)}2$

$\implies a_{n+1} = n^2 + 3n + 2 \implies \boxed{a_n = n^2 + n}$

A flower shop sells tulips and roses. The price of each tulip is the same and the price of each roses the same. One customer bou

Talja [164]

Answer: it cost a customer $7.25 to buy five tulips and $10.5 to buy six roses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of 1 tulip.

Let y represent the cost of 1 rose.

The price of each tulip is the same and the price of each roses the same. One customer bought seven tulips and nine roses for $25.90. This means that

7x + 9y = 25.9 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Another customer bought for four tulips and eight roses for $19.80. This means that

4x + 8y = 19.8- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 7, it becomes

28x + 36y = 103.6

28x + 56y = 138.6

Subtracting, it becomes

- 20y = - 35

y = - 35/ - 20

y = 1.75

Substituting y = 1.75 into equation 2, it becomes

4x + 8 × 1.75 = 19.8

4x + 14 = 19.8

4x = 19.8 - 14 = 5.8

x = 5.8/4

x = 1.45

The cost of 5 tulips would be

1.45 × 5 = $7.25

The cost of 6 roses would be

1.75 × 6 = $10.5
