Answer:
It only gives five points.
Step-by-step explanation:
I just wanted to let you know.
24
It goes into 24 once and into 48 twice
Answer:
y = -4x+14
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (2-10)/(3-1)
=-8/2
= -4
The slope intercept form of a line is
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = -4x+b
Substitute a point into the equation
10 = -4(1)+b
Add 4 to each side
14 = b
y = -4x+14
The common difference if there is one is the constant difference that occurs between any term and the term before it.... in this case:
There is no common difference,
dx=18,20,16,18 the difference or velocity is not constant...
d2x=2, -4,2 the acceleration is not constant...
d3x=-6,6 the thrust is not constant
Now we might be tempted to say that:
d4x=12 and say that that is constant and we COULD make a quartic equation fit all the data points, but without further data points in the sequence there is no mathematical proof that the quartic equation would produce accurate data points outside of the range given...
And solving a system of five equations for five unknowns is tedious for such a problem...a^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e=y
