The common difference if there is one is the constant difference that occurs between any term and the term before it.... in this case:
There is no common difference,
dx=18,20,16,18 the difference or velocity is not constant...
d2x=2, -4,2 the acceleration is not constant...
d3x=-6,6 the thrust is not constant
Now we might be tempted to say that:
d4x=12 and say that that is constant and we COULD make a quartic equation fit all the data points, but without further data points in the sequence there is no mathematical proof that the quartic equation would produce accurate data points outside of the range given...
And solving a system of five equations for five unknowns is tedious for such a problem...a^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e=y
Hey there!!
In order to solve this question, we take the area as 196 as these are the total number of plants to cover a specific place.
The formation must be in a square formation
area of a square = ( s ) ²
s = side
or the number of plants in a row
s² = 196
s = √196
s = 14
There are 14 plants in each row
Hope my answer helps!
The factored form would be (3x-9)(x-1)
The picture should help a bit
Answer:
(22,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Select any two points given and find their slope (rise/run)
(-38, 40) and (-23, 30)
slope = 
= - 2/3
2. Use the slope and one of the points to create an equation of the line in the format y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
y = mx + b ⇒ 40 = -2/3 (-38) + b
3. Solve for b
40 = -2/3 (-38) + b
40 = 76/3 + b
40 - 76/3 = b
b = 44/3
4. To find the x-intercept, set y = 0, and solve.
y = -2/3 x + 44/3
0 = -2/3 x + 44/3
2/3 x = 44/3
x = 22
Hope this helped!
