Answer:
This is important because, the first few numbers might seem to follow a pattern but subsequent numbers might reveal a change in the rule.
Step-by-step explanation:
When studying patterns it is important to evaluate all the figures holistically instead of drawing conclusions based on just the first few numbers because there might be a change in what we felt was obvious on close observance of all the numbers. For example, observe the pattern;
2,4,6, 10, 14, 18, 20, 22, 24
The first two numbers show the addition of two. If a person decides to add 2 to all the figures, he would be wrong because after the first three figures, he would have to add 4 to the numbers.
Answer:
.009 miles/hour
Step-by-step explanation:

This is the method you should take with unit conversions in general, just set up fractions so the units cancel out, like the 7.5 feet cancels out with the feet in the 1/5280 so miles is left on top.
26. 2x^2 +4x -10 = 0 (-4 + - (root(4^2 - 4*2*-10)))/2*2 =
(-4 + - (root(96)))/4
(-4 + (root(96)))/4 ≈ 1.45
(-4 - (root(96)))/4 ≈ -3.45
27. f(x) = 0 when any of the components that multiply together equal 0 for this function therefore x -2 = 0 x +3 = 0 x -5 = 0 so f(x) = 0 when x = 2, -3 or 5
28. It looks like it shows you how to do it
