Answer:
Pattern B
<h3>
Explain: </h3>
A quadratic relationship is characterized by constant second differences.
<em><u>Pattern A
</u></em>
Sequence: 0, 2, 4, 6
First Differences: 2, 2, 2 . . . . constant indicates a 1st-degree (linear, arithmetic) sequence
__________________________________________________________
<em><u>Pattern B</u></em>
Sequence: 1, 2, 5, 10
First Differences: 1, 3, 5
Second Differences: 2, 2 . . . . constant indicates a 2nd-degree (quadratic) sequence
__________________________________________________________
<em><u>Pattern C</u></em>
Sequence: 1, 3, 9, 27
First Differences: 2, 6, 18
Second Differences: 4, 12 . . . . each set of differences has a common ratio, indicating an exponential (geometric) sequence
__________________________________________________________
Pattern B shows a geometric relationship between step number and dot count.
Answer:
- $855,000
- Dividend per share of common stock = $1.06
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Preferred Share dividends.
There are 300,000 preference shares and each of them got $2.85. Total dividends are;
= 300,000 * 2.85
= $855,000
2. Total dividends = $3,500,000
Dividends left for Common Shareholders (preference gets paid first)
= 3,500,000 - 855,000
= $2,645,000
Common shares number 2,500,000
Dividend per share of common stock = 
= $1.06
Extraneous solutions, is answers that we get because of squaring both sides of the radical equation, but in reality, they are not going to be the solutions of the given equation.
(√(4x+41))²=(x+5)²
4x+41=x²+10x+25
x²+6x-16=0
(x-2)(x+8)=0
x1=2 , x2=-8,
And now we must to check them by substitution into initial equation
√(4x+41)=x+5
1) x=2, √(4*2+41)=2+5, √49=7, 7=7 true
2) x=-8, √(4*(-8)+41)=-8+5, √9 =-3 false,
so an extraneous solution x=-8
