Answer:

aₙ = 2n² + n + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe that the difference of terms is 4, 7 and 15 and next level difference is 4. It means the sequence is quadratic.

We can compare this with simple quadratic sequence

1, 4, 9, 16

and find out that doubling each term gives us

2, 8, 18, 32

This is close to our sequence, write the terms as follows to find exact rule

The first term:

a₁ = 4 = 2*1² + 2 = 2*1² + 1 + 1

The second term

a₂ = 11 = 2*2² + 3 = 2*2² + 2 + 1

The third term:

a₃ = 22 = 2*3² + 4 = 2*3² + 3 + 1

The fourth term:

a₄ = 37 = 2*4² + 5 = 2*4² + 4 + 1

The nth term as per observation above is:

aₙ = 2n² + n + 1

Answer:

Point-slope form of equation given as $y-2=-2(x+2)$ .

Slope-intercept form of equation is given as $y=-2 x-2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, it is given that the slope of a line is -2 and it passes from (-2,2).

It is asked to write the point-slope form of the equation and rewrite it as slope-intercept form.

To do so, first find the values which are given in the question and put it in the formula of point-slope form. Simplify the equation to rewrite as slope-intercept form.

Step 1 of 2

Passing point of the line is (-2,2).

Hence, $x_{1}=-2$ and

$y_{1}=2 \text {. }$

Also, the slope of the line is -2.

Hence, m=-2

Substitute the above values in point-slope form of equation given by $y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

$\begin{aligned}&y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right) \\&y-2=-2(x-(-2) \\&y-2=-2(x+2)\end{aligned}$

Hence, point-slope form of equation given as y-2=-2(x+2).

Step 2 of 2

Solve y-2=-2(x+2) to write it as slope-intercept form given by y=mx+c.

$\begin{aligned}&y-2=-2(x+2) \\&y-2=-2 x-4 \\&y=-2 x-4+2 \\&y=-2 x-2\end{aligned}$

Hence, slope-intercept form of equation is given as y=-2x-2.

Answer:

$\sqrt[4]{x^5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction exponent converts into a radical. The denominator is the index of the radical (farthest left number) and the numerator is the exponent of the base inside (the farthest right number). The base of the fraction exponent is the base number in green. To write this expression, simply the exponents into one exponent and one base.

$x^{\frac{3}{4}}x^{\frac{1}{2} } =x^{\frac{3}{4}}x^{\frac{2}{4} } =x^{\frac{3+2}{4}} =x^{\frac{5}{4}}$
