Do you notice anything strange about those points ?
(0, 1),
(1, 2),
(2, 4),
(3, 8).
The y-coordinate of each point is (2) raised to the power of the x-coordinate.
First point: x=0, y=2⁰ = 1
Second point: x=1, y=2¹ = 2
Third point: x=2, y=2² = 4
Fourth point: x=3, y=2³ = 8
The equation of the curve appears to be
y = 2 ^ x .
So, after 10 hours, x=10, and y = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 .
= 1455
generate a few terms of the sequence using
= 3n + 2
= ( 3 × 1) + 2 = 5
= (3 × 2) + 2 = 8
= (3 × 3 ) + 2 = 11
= (3 × 4 ) + 2 = 14
= ( 3 × 5 ) + 2 = 17
the terms are 5, 8, 11, 14, 17
these are the terms of an arithmetic sequence
sum to n terms is calculated using
=
[ 2a + (n-1)d]
where a is the first term and d the common difference
d = 8 - 5 = 11 - 8 = 14 - 11 = 3 and
= 5
=
[( 2 × 5) + (29 × 3) ]
= 15( 10 + 87) = 15 × 97 = 1455
