We find the first differences between terms:
7-4=3; 12-7=5; 19-12=7; 28-19=9.
Since these are different, this is not linear.
We now find the second differences:
5-3=2; 7-5=2; 9-7=2. Then:
Since these are the same, this sequence is quadratic.
We use (1/2a)n², where a is the second difference:
(1/2*2)n²=1n².
We now use the term number of each term for n:
4 is the 1st term; 1*1²=1.
7 is the 2nd term; 1*2²=4.
12 is the 3rd term; 1*3²=9.
19 is the 4th term; 1*4²=16.
28 is the 5th term: 1*5²=25.
Now we find the difference between the actual terms of the sequence and the numbers we just found:
4-1=3; 7-4=3; 12-9=3; 19-16=3; 28-25=3.
Since this is constant, the sequence is in the form (1/2a)n²+d;
in our case, 1n²+d, and since d=3, 1n²+3.
The correct answer is n²+3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>C. </u>
- 5/8x + 25 = 3/8x + 15 + 1/4x
- 5/8x + 10 = 3/8x + 2/8x
- 5/8x + 10 = 5/8x
- 10 = 0
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
yes it does
Step-by-step explanation:
because the equation y=9x does not have a y-intercept (all slopes come in the form y=mx+b -- it can be written differently though) and since there is no 'b' that means the y-intercept is 0. So whenever there is no y-intercept, the slope starts at 0.
