Answer:
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.
<u>We can compare this with simple quadratic sequence </u>
<u>and find out that doubling each term gives us </u>
This is close to our sequence, write the terms as follows to find exact rule
<u>The first term: </u>
- a₁ = 4 = 2*1² + 2 = 2*1² + 1 + 1
<u>The second term</u>
- a₂ = 11 = 2*2² + 3 = 2*2² + 2 + 1
<u>The third term:</u>
- a₃ = 22 = 2*3² + 4 = 2*3² + 3 + 1
<u>The fourth term:</u>
- a₄ = 37 = 2*4² + 5 = 2*4² + 4 + 1
<u>The nth term as per observation above is:</u>
X + 8x = 81
9x = 81, x = 9
y = 8(9), y = 72
Solution: (9, 72)
Isn’t this just 20m? Or is it a trick question and I’m just not getting it?
