Answer:

Tn = -n^2 - n + 21 is the formula for the nth term.

Step-by-step explanation:

The second differences are all equal in this quadratic sequence.

Now, the quadratic sequence has a formula of Tn = an^2 + bn + c

Find the value of a in an^2 by dividing the difference by 2:

-2/2 = -1

a = -1

Since T1 is 19 and T2 is 15 we can put that into the equation and simplify:

b + c = 20

2b +  c = 19

Thus, b = -1 , c = 19 and the general formula for the nth term is Tn = -n^2 - n + 21

1.- What type of parabola is this?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

<u>Part 1</u>

<u>Sideways or "horizontal" parabola</u> with a horizontal axis of symmetry.

<u>Part 2</u>

The vertex is the turning point:  (-3, 1)

<u>Part 3</u>

Vertex form of a horizontal parabola:

x=a(y-k)^2+h    

where:

  • (h, k) is the vertex
  • a is some constant
    If a > 0 the parabola opens to the right.
    If a < 0 the parabola opens to the left.

Point on the curve:  (-1, 2)

Substituting the vertex and the found point into the formula and solving for a:

\implies -1=a(2-1)^2-3

\implies -1=a-3

\implies a=2

<u>Part 4</u>

Equation for the given parabola in vertex form:

x=2(y-1)^2-3

Equation in standard form:

x=2y^2-4y-1

||<br> Area of a regular polygon
ELEN [110]

Answer:

The area of any regular polygon is given by the formula: Area = (a x p)/2, where a is the length of the apothem and p is the perimeter of the polygon. Plug the values of a and p in the formula and get the area. As an example, let's use a hexagon (6 sides) with a side (s) length of 10.
