A. The student added before multiplying.
If they had multiplied 6 and 4 first, the next step would have been too divide. But since they added first, they got 36/24 or 3/2 when the answer should be 13.

Answer:  a) add n+1 to the previous term

               b) add the previous two terms

               d) subtract n+1 from the previous term

               e) multiply the previous term by 3

               f) subtract 2 from previous term then add 5 to the next term

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

a) 1, 3, 6, 10

    ∨  ∨  ∨

  +2 +3 +4           The next term is 10 +5 = 15

b) 1, 2, 3, 5

    ∨  ∨  ∨

  =3 =5 =8        The next term is 5 + 8 = 13

d)  8, 7, 5, 2

Can someone PLEASE answer this and explain I really need help I’ll mark brainliest
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Michael = x÷7

lee = 2(x÷7)

(x÷7)+2(x÷7)

Step-by-step explanation:

since he earns x dollars every seven days, to get the amount he earns, you divide that amount by 7 and for Lee, she gets twice as much so you multiply Michael's amount by 2

Suppose that we don't have a formula for g(x) but we know that g(3) = −5 and g'(x) = x2 + 7 for all x.
Leni [432]

Answer:

a)

g(2.9) \approx -6.6

g(3.1) \approx -3.4

b)

The values are too small since g'' is positive for both values of x in. I'm speaking of the x values, 2.9 and 3.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The point-slope of a line is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where m is the slope and (x_1,y_1) is a point on that line.

We want to find the equation of the tangent line of the curve g at the point (3,-5) on g.

So we know (x_1,y_1)=(3,-5).

To find m, we must calculate the derivative of g at x=3:

m=g'(3)=(3)^2+7=9+7=16.

So the equation of the tangent line to curve g at (3,-5) is:

y-(-5)=16(x-3).

I'm going to solve this for y.

y-(-5)=16(x-3)

y+5=16(x-3)

Subtract 5 on both sides:

y=16(x-3)-5

What this means is for values x near x=3 is that:

g(x) \approx 16(x-3)-5.

Let's evaluate this approximation function for g(2.9).

g(2.9) \approx 16(2.9-3)-5

g(2.9) \approx 16(-.1)-5

g(2.9) \approx -1.6-5

g(2.9) \approx -6.6

Let's evaluate this approximation function for g(3.1).

g(3.1) \approx 16(3.1-3)-5

g(3.1) \approx 16(.1)-5

g(3.1) \approx 1.6-5

g(3.1) \approx -3.4

b) To determine if these are over approximations or under approximations I will require the second derivative.

If g'' is positive, then it leads to underestimation (since the curve is concave up at that number).

If g'' is negative, then it leads to overestimation (since the curve is concave down at that number).

g'(x)=x^2+7

g''(x)=2x+0

g''(x)=2x

2x is positive for x>0.

2x is negative for x.

That is, g''(2.9)>0 \text{ and } g''(3.1)>0.

So 2x is positive for both values of x which means that the values we found in part (a) are underestimations.
