Answer:

b. Multiplying decimals less than one is finding a part of a part.

Step-by-step explanation:

A part of a given number implies a selected part of a given number which can be expressed as a fraction of the number. Example, the half of any number is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

The product of a part and another part can be expressed as;

$\frac{1}{3}$ x $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{2}{9}$

or,

$\frac{1}{2}$ x $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$

or,

$\frac{1}{2}$ x $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{2}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$

The three examples shows: a part x a part.

Therefore, it would be observed that multiplying decimals less than one is the same as finding a part of a part.

Determine formula of the nth term 2, 6, 12 20 30,42

nalin [4]

Check the forward differences of the sequence.

If $\{a_n\} = \{2,6,12,20,30,42,\ldots\}$ , then let $\{b_n\}$ be the sequence of first-order differences of $\{a_n\}$ . That is, for n ≥ 1,

$b_n = a_{n+1} - a_n$

so that $\{b_n\} = \{4, 6, 8, 10, 12, \ldots\}$ .

Let $\{c_n\}$ be the sequence of differences of $\{b_n\}$ ,

$c_n = b_{n+1} - b_n$

and we see that this is a constant sequence, $\{c_n\} = \{2, 2, 2, 2, \ldots\}$ . In other words, $\{b_n\}$ is an arithmetic sequence with common difference between terms of 2. That is,

$2 = b_{n+1} - b_n \implies b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

and we can solve for $b_n$ in terms of $b_1=4$ :

$b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-1}+2) + 2 = b_{n-1} + 2\times2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-2}+2) + 2\times2 = b_{n-2} + 3\times2$

and so on down to

$b_{n+1} = b_1 + 2n \implies b_{n+1} = 2n + 4 \implies b_n = 2(n-1)+4 = 2(n + 1)$

We solve for $a_n$ in the same way.

$2(n+1) = a_{n+1} - a_n \implies a_{n+1} = a_n + 2(n + 1)$

Then

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-1} + 2n) + 2(n+1) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-1} + 2 ((n+1) + n)$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-2} + 2(n-1)) + 2((n+1)+n) \\ ~~~~~~~ = a_{n-2} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1))$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-3} + 2(n-2)) + 2((n+1)+n+(n-1)) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-3} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1) + (n-2))$

and so on down to

$a_{n+1} = a_1 + 2 \displaystyle \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} k = 2 + 2 \times \frac{n(n+3)}2$

$\implies a_{n+1} = n^2 + 3n + 2 \implies \boxed{a_n = n^2 + n}$

A)46. Take 42 and divide it by 3. Then multiply 14 by 4.
b)2:1. There are 2 wings for every 1 beak on a bird.
c)15 minutes. multiply 50 times 60 and that's how many times it beats per minute. Then divide 45000 by that number and that's how many minutes it should take.
d) 28%. You have to add all the students together, and you get 200. Then you divide 56 by 200.
