What is the nth term rule of the quadratic sequence below?<br> 8,14,22,32 ,44, 58, 74...

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

y=n^2+3n+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sequence,S: 8,14,22,32 ,44, 58, 74...

First differences of S: 6,8,10,12,14,16,...

Second differences of S: 2,2,2,2,2,2,....

It is indeed a quadratic since the 1st differences that are the same are the second differences.

So the 1st term is 8. If the 0th term was listes it would be 4 since 8-4=4 and 6-4=2.

This means our quadratic it is in the form

y=an^2+bn+c where c=4.

So we have y=an^2+bn+4.

Now we can find a and b using two points from our sequence to form a system of equations to solve.

(1,8) gives us 8=a(1)^2+b(1)+4

Simplifying gives 8=a+b+4

Subtracting 4 on both sides gives: 4=a+b

(2,14) gives us 14=a(2)^2+b(2)+4

Simplifying gives 14=4a+2b+4

Subtracting 4 on both sides gives 10=4a+2b

So we have the following system to solve:

4=a+b

10=4a+2b

I'm going to solve using elimination/linear combination style.

Dividing second equation by 2 gives the system as:

4=a+b

5=2a+b

Subtract the 2nd equation from the first gives:

-1=-1a

This implies a=1 since -1=-1(1) is true.

If a+b=4 and a=1, then b=3. Because 3+1=4.

So the equation is y=1n^2+3n+4 or y=n^2+3n+4.

James is placing an order for four for his bakery. The company he purchases from charges $25 for the first bag and $5 for each a

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

A: CxB= Total

A: (4x19)x5+25=$405

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would find the total of all of the 4 bags. Witch would be 4x19=76. Then you would multiply that by shipping cost 76x5=380. Lastly you would add the $25 380+$25= 405. Think that is right. Hope this helps!

Construct a quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are negatives of the zeroes of the

sp2606 [1]

Given:

The given quadratic polynomial is :

$x^2-x-12$

To find:

The quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are negatives of the zeroes of the given polynomial.

Solution:

We have,

$x^2-x-12$

Equate the polynomial with 0 to find the zeroes.

$x^2-x-12=0$

Splitting the middle term, we get

$x^2-4x+3x-12=0$

$x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0$

$(x+3)(x-4)=0$

$x=-3,4$

The zeroes of the given polynomial are -3 and 4.

The zeroes of a quadratic polynomial are negatives of the zeroes of the given polynomial. So, the zeroes of the required polynomial are 3 and -4.

A quadratic polynomial is defined as:

$x^2-(\text{Sum of zeroes})x+\text{Product of zeroes}$

$x^2-(3+(-4))x+(3)(-4)$

$x^2-(-1)x+(-12)$

$x^2+x-12$

Therefore, the required polynomial is $x^2+x-12$ .
