Answer:

50 - 15m

Step-by-step explanation:

You start out with 50 dollars so that is the constant.

Each DVD is 15 dollars, so for every dvd(m) it is 15 dollars.

Determine formula of the nth term 2, 6, 12 20 30,42​
nalin [4]

Check the forward differences of the sequence.

If \{a_n\} = \{2,6,12,20,30,42,\ldots\}, then let \{b_n\} be the sequence of first-order differences of \{a_n\}. That is, for n ≥ 1,

b_n = a_{n+1} - a_n

so that \{b_n\} = \{4, 6, 8, 10, 12, \ldots\}.

Let \{c_n\} be the sequence of differences of \{b_n\},

c_n = b_{n+1} - b_n

and we see that this is a constant sequence, \{c_n\} = \{2, 2, 2, 2, \ldots\}. In other words, \{b_n\} is an arithmetic sequence with common difference between terms of 2. That is,

2 = b_{n+1} - b_n \implies b_{n+1} = b_n + 2

and we can solve for b_n in terms of b_1=4:

b_{n+1} = b_n + 2

b_{n+1} = (b_{n-1}+2) + 2 = b_{n-1} + 2\times2

b_{n+1} = (b_{n-2}+2) + 2\times2 = b_{n-2} + 3\times2

and so on down to

b_{n+1} = b_1 + 2n \implies b_{n+1} = 2n + 4 \implies b_n = 2(n-1)+4 = 2(n + 1)

We solve for a_n in the same way.

2(n+1) = a_{n+1} - a_n \implies a_{n+1} = a_n + 2(n + 1)

Then

a_{n+1} = (a_{n-1} + 2n) + 2(n+1) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-1} + 2 ((n+1) + n)

a_{n+1} = (a_{n-2} + 2(n-1)) + 2((n+1)+n) \\ ~~~~~~~ = a_{n-2} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1))

a_{n+1} = (a_{n-3} + 2(n-2)) + 2((n+1)+n+(n-1)) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-3} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1) + (n-2))

and so on down to

a_{n+1} = a_1 + 2 \displaystyle \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} k = 2 + 2 \times \frac{n(n+3)}2

\implies a_{n+1} = n^2 + 3n + 2 \implies \boxed{a_n = n^2 + n}

Bethany says that 3x+6+x and 3(x+2) and equivalent expressions. She used substitution to support her answer. Explain what Bethan
Vinvika [58]

She forgot about the final x at the end, because the first expression is 3x+6+x, and the second one is 3(x+2). The second one expands to 3x+6, but it doesn't have the final term at the end.

Also, 3 is not really a factor of x (technically it could be because x in unknown, but in terms of like terms and stuff it isn't) so you can't take a 3 out of x (unless you leave it as 1/3x I guess).

Anyway, yeah she forgot about the final x and therefore the factor she took out is incorrect anyway. She also could've simplified the first expression so that it became 4x + 6
