Answer:

The equation for nth term is 3n + 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a1 be a,

a3 = a + (n - 1)d

or, 14 = a + (3 - 1)d

so, 14 = a + 2d

Now,

a5 = a + (n - 1)d

or, 20 = a + (5 - 1)d

or, 20 = a + 4d

now,

a + 4d = 20

a + 2d = 14

now,

a + 4d - ( a + 2d) = 20 - 14

or, a + 4d - a - 2d = 6

or, 2d = 6

so, d = 3

Now,

a + 2d = 14

or, a + 2(3) = 14

or, a = 14 - 6

so, a = 8

Now,

an = a + (n - 1)d

or, an = 8 + (n - 1)3

or, an = 8 + 3n - 3

so, an = 3n + 5

Write an exponential function for the graph that passes through the points (0,4) and (2, 36). Use the formula y=ab^x​
fomenos

Answer:

Using the equation y = abx , substitute both of your given points into that equation.

2 = ab2 and 4 = ab3   Solve each equation for a.

2⁄b2    and 4⁄b3 = a     Therefore, 2⁄b2 = 4⁄b3

                                   

Cross multiply: 2b3 = 4b2     Divide both sides by b2

2b = 4      a = 2/4 = 1/2

b = 2

y = 1 (2)x

     2
