Step-by-step explanation:
The first differences of the sequence are ...
- 5-2 = 3
- 10-5 = 5
- 17-10 = 7
- 26-17 = 9
- 37-26 = 11
Second differences are ...
- 5 -3 = 2
- 7 -5 = 2
- 9 -7 = 2
- 11 -9 = 2
The second differences are constant, so the sequence can be described by a second-degree polynomial.
We can write and solve three equations for the coefficients of the polynomial. Let's define the polynomial for the sequence as ...
f(n) = an^2 + bn + c
Then the first three terms of the sequence are ...
- f(1) = 2 = a·1^2 + b·1 + c
- f(2) = 5 = a·2^2 +b·2 + c
- f(3) = 10 = a·3^2 +b·3 +c
Subtracting the first equation from the other two gives ...
3a +b = 3
8a +2b = 8
Subtracting the first of these from half the second gives ...
(4a +b) -(3a +b) = (4) -(3)
a = 1 . . . . . simplify
Substituting into the first of the 2-term equations, we get ...
3·1 +b = 3
b = 0
And substituting the values for a and b into the equation for f(1), we have ...
1·1 + 0 + c = 2
c = 1
So, the formula for the sequence is ...
f(n) = n^2 + 1
__
The 20th term is f(20):
f(20) = 20^2 +1 = 401

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
It looks like this matches the solution of the "worked example" on your problem page.
For this question, we want to find out the greatest amount of area of pizza for the least amount of money:
So we have two pizzas with a 10 in. diameter. Let us take one of those pizzas.
The formula for area of a circle is

; So the area for one of these 10 in. pizzas would be

or 25

.
We have two of these pizzas, so the total area that we would get with $14 would be 25

*2 or 50

.
For the second case, we have one pizza with a 14 in. diameter.
The area of this pizza will be

or 49

.
So for $15 we can buy 49

worth of pizza.
The best deal would be to buy the two medium pizzas of 10 inch diameter, because for $14, you get 50

.

You need to provide an "equals" in order to find what x equals
Well 33 - 19 = 14 and what do u mean tape diagram?
