Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

C. volume

Step-by-step explanation:

The response variable in this scenario would be the volume of the usable lumber. That is because this variable depends completely on the height of the cherry trees that are being measured. The higher that the cherry trees are the more volume can be expected to get from cutting these trees down. The opposite goes for trees that are smaller, they would decrease the total expected volume that will be received from the usable lumber since there would be less amount of tree to cut down.

Determine the formula for the nth term of the sequence:<br>-2,1,7,25,79,...

rodikova [14]

A plausible guess might be that the sequence is formed by a degree-4* polynomial,

$x_n = a n^4 + b n^3 + c n^2 + d n + e$

From the given known values of the sequence, we have

$\begin{cases}a+b+c+d+e = -2 \\ 16 a + 8 b + 4 c + 2 d + e = 1 \\ 81 a + 27 b + 9 c + 3 d + e = 7 \\ 256 a + 64 b + 16 c + 4 d + e = 25 \\ 625 a + 125 b + 25 c + 5 d + e = 79\end{cases}$

Solving the system yields coefficients

$a=\dfrac58, b=-\dfrac{19}4, c=\dfrac{115}8, d = -\dfrac{65}4, e=4$

so that the n-th term in the sequence might be

$\displaystyle x_n = \boxed{\frac{5 n^4}{8}-\frac{19 n^3}{4}+\frac{115 n^2}{8}-\frac{65 n}{4}+4}$

Then the next few terms in the sequence could very well be

$\{-2, 1, 7, 25, 79, 208, 466, 922, 1660, 2779, \ldots\}$

It would be much easier to confirm this had the given sequence provided just one more term...

* Why degree-4? This rests on the assumption that the higher-order forward differences of $\{x_n\}$ eventually form a constant sequence. But we only have enough information to find one term in the sequence of 4th-order differences. Denote the k-th-order forward differences of $\{x_n\}$ by $\Delta^{k}\{x_n\}$ . Then

• 1st-order differences:

$\Delta\{x_n\} = \{1-(-2), 7-1, 25-7, 79-25,\ldots\} = \{3,6,18,54,\ldots\}$

• 2nd-order differences:

$\Delta^2\{x_n\} = \{6-3,18-6,54-18,\ldots\} = \{3,12,36,\ldots\}$

• 3rd-order differences:

$\Delta^3\{x_n\} = \{12-3, 36-12,\ldots\} = \{9,24,\ldots\}$

• 4th-order differences:

$\Delta^4\{x_n\} = \{24-9,\ldots\} = \{15,\ldots\}$

From here I made the assumption that $\Delta^4\{x_n\}$ is the constant sequence {15, 15, 15, …}. This implies $\Delta^3\{x_n\}$ forms an arithmetic/linear sequence, which implies $\Delta^2\{x_n\}$ forms a quadratic sequence, and so on up $\{x_n\}$ forming a quartic sequence. Then we can use the method of undetermined coefficients to find it.
