The sequence is, in fact, quadratic. It is described by the equation
.. a[n] = (n*(n -1))/2 +2

First differences are increasing, so the sequence will not be arithmetic. An arithmetic sequence has constant first differences.

Second differences are constant, so the sequence will not be geometric. A geometric sequence will have first-, second-, third-differences, and those to any level, that have the same constant ratio as the terms of the original sequence.

The length of a rectangle 4 yd is longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 68 yd, find its length and width.
natulia [17]

w + 4

------------------------

l l

l l w

l l

------------------------

Perimeter would be the sum of all the sides so: (w+4) + w + (w+4) + w

Perimeter is 60 yards according to your problem so: (w+4) + w + (w+4) + w = 60 yds

1.Simplify/combine like terms:

w + 4 + w + w + 4 + w =

4w + 8 =

Now it's a 2-step algebra equation

4w + 8 = 60

2.Subtract 8 on both sides

4w = 56

3.Divide both sides by 4

w = 14

A satellite dish has cross-sections shaped like parabolas. The receiver is located 13 inches from the base along the axis of sym
horsena [70]

Answer:

Depth = 3.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given that the shape of the satellite looks like a parabola

The equation of parabola is given as follows

x^2=4\times a\times y

Where

a= 13

Therefore

x^2=4\times 13\times y

x^2=52\times y

Lets take (13 , y) is a

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

13^2=52\times y

y=\dfrac{13^2}{52}=3.25

y=3.25 in

Therefore the depth of the satellite at the nearest integer will be 3.3 inches.

Depth = 3.3 inches

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. A parabola is given by the equation y = x2 − 2x − 3. The directrix of the pa
choli [55]

Answer:

Part 1) The directrix of the parabola is y=-4.25

Part 2) The focus of the parabola is F(1,-3.75)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=x^{2}-2x-3

This is a vertical parabola open upward

we know that

If a parabola has a vertical axis, the standard form of the equation of the parabola is

(x - h)^{2}=4p(y - k)

where

p≠ 0

The vertex of this parabola is at (h, k).

The focus is at (h, k + p).

The directrix is the line y = k - p.

The axis is the line x = h.

step 1

Convert the equation of the parabola in standard form

y=x^{2}-2x-3

y+3=x^{2}-2x

y+3+1=x^{2}-2x+1

y+4=x^{2}-2x+1

y+4=(x-1)^{2}

so

(x-1)^{2}=(y+4) ----> equation in standard form

The vertex is the point (1,-4)

4p=1 ------> p=1/4

step 2

Find the directrix of the parabola

The directrix is the line y = k - p

we have

k=-4

p=1/4

substitute the values

y = k - p

y=-4-(1/4)=-17/4

y=-4.25

step 3

Find the focus of the parabola

we know that

The focus is at (h, k + p).

we have

h=1

k=-4

p=1/4

substitute

F(1,-4+1/4)

F(1,-3.75)
