Answer:

Tn = -4n²+40n+36

Step-by-step explanation:

A general quadratic sequence, Tn = an²+bn+c, where n is the term of the sequence.

So, when n = 1, Tn = 72, which means T1 = a+b+c=72.

when n = 2, Tn = 100, which means T2= 4a+2b+c = 100

when n = 3, Tn = 132, which means T3 = 9a+3b+c = 132.

Now, use a calcaulatot to solve the 3 variable simultaneous equation. According to my calculator, a = -4, b = 40, c = 36.

Hence, you a, b, and c in the Tn equation given above.

Therefore, Tn = -4n²+40n+36

A group of 100 students took a quiz. Their average score was 76 points. If the average score for the boys was 80 points and the

sveta [45]

Answer:

The number of girls participated in quiz is 40 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Total number of students took quiz = 100

Average score of 100 students = 76 points

The Average score of boys = 80 points

The Average score of girls = 70 points

Let The number of boys participated in quiz = b

Let The number of girls participate in quiz = g

Now, According to question'

Total number of students took quiz = number of boys participated in quiz + number of girls participated in quiz

Or, b + g = 100 ........A

Again

∵ Average score of 100 students = 76 points

∴ Total score of 100 students = 76 × 100 = 7600

So, Average score of boys × number of boys participated + Average score of girls × number of girls participated = Total score of 100 students

Or, b × 80 + g × 70 = 7600

Or, 80 b + 70 g = 7600 .........B

Now, Solving equation A and B

(80 b + 70 g ) - 70 ×( b + g ) = 7600 - 70 × 100

I.e (80 b - 70 b) + (70 g - 70 g) = 7600 - 7000

Or, 10 b + 0 = 600

∴ b = $\dfrac{600}{10}$

i.e b = 60

So, The number of boys participated in quiz = b = 60

Put the value of b into eq A

∵ b + g = 100

So, g = 100 - b

Or, g = 100 - 60

i.e g = 40

So, The number of girls participated in quiz = g = 40

Hence, The number of girls participated in quiz is 40 . Answer
