Answer:

20 gray squares

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for squares

Required

Number of gray squares when white = 16

First, we calculate the equation that represents both squares.

<u>The white squares</u>

a = 2 --- initial

d = 4 - 2 = 6 - 4

d = 2 -- difference between successive gray squares

So, the nth term is:

W_n = a + (n - 1)d

W_n = 2 + (n - 1)*2

W_n = 2 + 2n - 2

W_n = 2n

<u>The gray squares</u>

a = 6 --- initial

d = 8-6=10-8

d = 2 -- difference between successive gray squares

So, the nth term is:

G_n = a + (n - 1)d

G_n = 6 + (n - 1) *2

G_n = 6 + 2n - 2

G_n = 4 + 2n

When the white squares is 16

W_n = 16 --- Calculate n

W_n = 2n

16 = 2n

8 = n

n = 8

To get the number of gray squares;

Substitute n = 8 in G_n = 4 + 2n

G_n = 4 + 2 * 8

G_n = 20

F(x)=x^2+8x-10 find f(a)+5
Papessa [141]

Answer:

We conclude that:

f(a) + 5 = a² + 8a - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The function is given by

f(x) = x²+8x-10

To determine

f(a)+5

In order to determine f(a)+5, first, we need to determine f(a).

Now substitute x = a in the function f(x) = x²+8x-10

f(a) = (a)² + 8(a) - 10

f(a) = a² + 8a - 10

Thus,

f(a) + 5 = (a² + 8a - 10) + 5

f(a) + 5 = a² + 8a - 5

Therefore, we conclude that:

f(a) + 5 = a² + 8a - 5
