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

∨ ∨ ∨

-1 -2 -3 zThe next term is 2 - 4 = -2

e) 1, 3, 9, 27

∨ ∨ ∨

×3 ×3 ×3 The next term is 27 × 3 = 81

f) 49, 47, 52, 50, 55

∨ ∨ ∨ ∨

-2 +5 -2 +5 The next term is 55 - 2 = 53

The following term is 53 + 5 = 58

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.
