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.

If you shift the exponential parent function, f(x) = 2^x , right 2 units, what is the equation of the new function?
aev [14]

Answer:

g(x)=2^{x-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Translations</u>

For a > 0

f(x+a) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units left}

f(x-a) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units right}

f(x)+a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units up}

f(x)-a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units down}

Parent function:  f(x)=2^x

Translated 2 units right:  g(x)=f(x-2)=2^{x-2}
