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
Given :
Each morning a gardener uses 25 gallons of water from a barrel.
Each afternoon, she adds 15 gallons of water to the barrel.
To Find :
By how much has the volume of water in the barrel changed after 5 days.
Solution :
Amount of of water used from the barrel per day is :
A = 25 - 15 gallons
A = 10 gallons
Now, volume of water in the barrel changed after 5 days is :
V = A × 5 gallons
V = 10 × 5 gallons
V = 50 gallons
Therefore, volume of water in barrel is changed by 50 gallons.
Answer:
Produce only Product B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The contribution margin per machine hour for product A is ...
($16 -$6)/(5 hour) = $2 per hour
The contribution margin per machine hour for product B is ...
($12 -$5)/(3 hour) ≈ $2.33 per hour
The company should produce the maximum possible number of the product that contributes the most per machine hour: Product B.
