Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number
In this case a=5, and d=-2 so
a(n)=5-2(n-1) which can be simplified...
a(n)=5-2n+2
a(n)=7-2n
The domain is restricted to integers from 1 to +oo.
Answer:
What is a polynomial?
- In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression consisting of indeterminates and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables
What is a rational function?
- In mathematics, a rational function is any function that can be defined by a rational fraction, which is an algebraic fraction such that both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials.
Are all polynomials rational functions?
.A function that cannot be written in the form of a polynomial, so no they are not all functions.
Answer:
c. g(x) = 4x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
From a first glance, since g(x), is skinnier than f(x), meaning that it is increasing faster, so I know that I can eliminate options A & B since the coefficient on x needs to be greater than 1.
We can then look and see that g(1) = 4 as shown by the point given to us on the graph.
To find the right answer we can find g(1) for options C & D and whichever one matches the point on the graph is our correct answer. e
Option C:
once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like
4(1)^2.
1^2 = 1, and 4(1) = 4,
so g(1) = 4. and our point is (1,4).
This is the same as the graph so this is the CORRECT answer.
If you want to double check, you can still find g(1) for option D and verify that it is the WRONG answer.
Option D:
once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like
16(1)^2
1^2 = 1, and 16(1) = 16,
so g(1) = 16. and our point is (1,16).
This is different than the graph so this is the WRONG answer.
The number beside the letter . for example 6x, 6 would be the variable
