The sequence is, in fact, quadratic. It is described by the equation
.. a[n] = (n*(n -1))/2 +2
First differences are increasing, so the sequence will not be arithmetic. An arithmetic sequence has constant first differences.
Second differences are constant, so the sequence will not be geometric. A geometric sequence will have first-, second-, third-differences, and those to any level, that have the same constant ratio as the terms of the original sequence.
Answer:
B (2,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<u>So, the way a ratio works is </u><u>"for every 1 of this, we have 4 of this"</u><u> for example. (the ratio I just described would be 1:4.) </u>

I believe I've seen this question before. If the ratio of dolls to teddy bears is 9:3 then for every 9 dolls you have 3 teddy bears.
So, since we have 240 dolls and a 9:3 ratio to teddy bears, all we have to do is take how many dolls we have (240) and divide it by 3 to see how many teddy bears we have.
So:
240 ÷ 3 = 80
If your ratio is 9:3, then 80 is your answer.

First you must change 3/8 into a decimal, so the number would be 45.375. To find scientific notation you have to move the decimal between a factor of 1-10. 4.5375 . You moved over the decimal once toward the left. so scientific notation would be 4.5375 X 10^1
