Answer:
- AP
- tₙ = (n-2)k² + (2n - 3)k + n
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given sequence:</u>
- -k² - k + 1, k + 2, k² + 3k + 3, 2k² + 5k + 4, ...
We can see apart from the second term all terms are 2nd degree trinomial so it is not a GP.
Let's find the difference: to determine if it is a AP:
- k + 2 - (-k² - k + 1) = k + 2 + k² + k -1 = k² + 2k + 1
- k² + 3k + 3 - (k + 2) = k² + 3k + 3 - k - 2 = k² + 2k + 1
- 2k² + 5k + 4 - (k² + 3k + 3) = 2k² + 5k + 4 - k² - 3k - 3 = k² + 2k + 1
As we see the difference is common and it confirms the sequence is AP.
<u>First term is </u>
<u>Common difference is </u>
<u>nth term is:</u>
- tₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d
- tₙ = -k² - k + 1 + (n-1)(k² + 2k + 1) =
- -k² - k + 1 + (n-1)k² + (n-1)*2k + n-1 =
- (n-2)k² + (2n - 3)k + n
When dealing with radicals and exponents, one must realize that fractional exponents deals directly with radicals. In that sense, sqrt(x) = x^1/2
Now, how to go about doing this:
In a fractional exponent, the numerator represents the actual exponent of the number. So, for x^2/3, the x is being squared.
For the denominator, that deals with the radical. The index, to be exact. The index describes what KIND of radical (or root) is being taken: square, cube, fourth, fifth, and so on. So, for our example x^2/3, x is squared, and that quantity is under a cube root (or a radical with a 3). Here are some more examples to help you understand a bit more:
x^6/5 = Fifth root of x^6
x^3/1 = x^3
^^^Exponential fractions still follow the same rules of simplifying, so...
x^2/4 = x^1/2 = sqrt(x)
Hope this helps!
The square root of 45 is irrational. Why? Well, see below for an explanation!
A rational number includes any number that can be expressed as a whole integer; a fraction, a simple full number, and any form of a full number that isn’t a portion of a number. Because the square root of 45 is equal to more than 6 but less than 7, it is represented by a decimal. That decimal that represents it is 6 whole + a portion of another whole, meaning that the square root is not a perfect square. Imperfect squares, or numbers that can be divided to get only one number (such as 36 = 6 x 6), are irrational. Because 45 cannot be divided by a number to get that same quotient of the number being divided by, it is irrational. If you need any help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
