FIRST FIND THE THE FIRST AND SECOND DIFFERENCES ON THE GIVEN SEQUENCE OF NUMBERS. FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU ARE GIVEN THIS SEQUENCE 2,4,6,8............AND YOU ARE ASKED TO FIND THE GENERAL FORMULA.... STEP 1:FIND THE FIRST DIFFERENCE BY SUBTRACTING THE FIRST TERM FROM THE SECOND TERM,AND THE SECOND FROM THE THIRD AND SO ON. STEP 2:FIND THE SECOND DIFFERENCE BY APPLYING STEP 1 TO THE ANSWERS OBTAINED.EG 4-2=2,6-4=2,8-6=2 THEREFORE THE SECOND DIFFERENCE WILL BE 2-2=0,2-2=0 STEP 3:DIVIDE THE SECOND DIFFERENCE BY 2 TO GET THE VALUE OF (A). STEP 4:WRITE 3a-b=the first term of the first term of the first difference which is the difference between 4 and 2.and solve for the value of b.3(0)-b=2 therefore b=-2 STEP 5:FIND THE VALUE OF c BY term 1=a=b=c
Hi there!
You can use distributive property to solve this equation.
These are the list of terms you have to multiply :
a × a² = a³
a × -ab = -a²b
a × b² = ab²
b × a² = a²b
b × -ab = -ab²
b × b² = b³
add all of those terms...
a³ - a²b + ab² +a²b -ab² + b³
simplify by adding like terms... (- a²b + a²b , ab² - ab²)
a³ + b³
Hope this helped!! :)
25% because the first FLIP, it was a fifty-fifty chance. FLIP again and the chances are divided by two since you can only get 2 things, either heads or tails.
Answer:
W = 2.5d + 62
Step-by-step explanation:
The calf weighed 62 pounds when they were born. This gives us a base of 62 pounds - the calf cannot weigh less than 62 pounds and it does on day 0. On each day , the calf gains 2.5 pounds. We can times the number to days by 2.5 to get the gain from day 0. We can add these two values together to get the total current weight of the calf.
