Find the nth term for the following sequences, 100,96,90,82,72.(an^2+bn+c)​

Answer:

  t(n) = -n^2 -n +102

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the first 3 terms to find a, b, c.

  a(1)^2 +b(1) +c = 100

  a(2)^2 +b(2) +c = 96

  a(3)^2 +b(3) +c = 90

Subtract the first equation from the other two:

  3a +b = -4 . . . . . . [eq4]

  8a +2b = -10 . . . . [eq5]

[eq5] can be reduced to

  4a +b = -5 . . . . . . [eq6]

Subtracting [eq4] from [eq6] gives ...

  (4a +b) -(3a +b) = (-5) -(-4)

  a = -1 . . . . . . . . simplify

Filling that into [eq4], we get

  3(-1) +b = -4

  b = -1 . . . . . . . add 3

Putting the values for 'a' and 'b' into the first equation gives ...

  -1 +-1 +c = 100

  c = 102

Then the n-th term t(n) of the sequence is ...

  t(n) = -n^2 -n +102

Additional comment

As you might guess, there is a generic solution for quadratic sequences. In terms of the first term (a1), first first difference (d1), and second difference (d2), the coefficients can be written as ...

a = d2/2b = d1 -3ac = a1 -d1 +d2

This sequence has first differences of -4, -6, -8, -10, and second differences of -2. Putting the sequence values into the above formulas, we find ...

a = -2/2 = -1b = -4 -3(-1) = -1c = 100 -(-4) +(-2) = 102 . . . . . as above

Step-by-step explanation:

Find two positive numbers whose difference is 30 and whose product is 2584.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]38[/tex] and [tex]68[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] be the smaller one of the two number.

[tex]x[/tex] must be a positive integer. The other number would be [tex](x + 30)[/tex].

The question states that the product of the two numbers is [tex]2584[/tex]. In other words:

[tex]x\, (x + 30) = 2584[/tex].

Rearrange this equation and solve for [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]x^{2} + 30\, x - 2584 = 0[/tex].

The first root of this quadratic equation would be:

[tex]\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{30^{2} - 4 \times (-2584)}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{900 + 10336}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{11236}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30)}{2} + \sqrt{\frac{11236}{2^{2}}} \\ &= (-15) + \sqrt{2809} \\ &= (-15) + 53 \\ &= 38 \end{aligned}[/tex].

Similarly, the second root of this quadratic equation would be:

[tex]\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{(-30) - \sqrt{30^{2} - 4 \times (-2584)}}{2} \\ &= (-15) - 53 \\ &= -68\end{aligned}[/tex].

Since the question requires that both numbers should be positive, [tex]x > 0[/tex]. Therefore, only [tex]x = 38[/tex] is valid.

Hence, the two numbers would be [tex]38[/tex] and [tex](38 + 30)[/tex], which is [tex]68[/tex].

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  38 and 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the average of the two numbers. Then their product is ...

  (x -15)(x +15) = 2584

  x^2 = 2584 +225 = 2809 . . . . . . use relation (x -a)(x +a) = x^2 -a^2; add a^2

  x = √2809 = 53

Then the two numbers are ...

  53 +15 = 68

and

  68 -30 = 38

The two numbers are 38 and 68.

Additional comment

Solving the problem in this way is equivalent to writing the quadratic equation for the smallest (or largest) number and solving that by completing the square. The "solution" x = -53 is not relevant in this problem.

Her jump rope Ella can make 17 jumps in 15 second.at this rate how make jumps can she make in20 minute?

Answers

Answer:

1360

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 1200 seconds in 20 minutes. if Ella can do 17 jumps in 15 seconds, you would divide 1200 by 15 (which equals 80) because that would be the number of 15 seconds in 20 minutes. then you would divide 80 by 17, which gives you your final answer of 1360 jumps in 20 minutes.

Gabriella goes for a power walk every three days, and Mona walks every fivedays. They both walked on Monday this week.a.After how many days will they both walk again on the same day?[3 pts]b.What day of the week will it be when they walk again on the same day?

Answers

Power Walking has been at the top of a natural range to walk with such a speed. A walk defines as a walking journey, and the further discussion can be defined as follows:

Given:

Power walking by the Gabriella by every 3 days  

Walking by the Mona by every 5 days  

Both walk on Monday then They both walked together,

after taking LCM of 5 and 3 that is = 15 days

For question a:

When both walk again after the same day is = 15 days

For question b:

"Tuesday" is the weekday that will it be when they walk again on the same day.

P(x) = x^4+ax^3-x^2+bx-12 has factors of (x-2) and (x+1). Solve the equation P(x)=0​

Answers

Answer:

because P(x) has factors of (x-2) and (x+1) => x = 2 and x = -1 are the solutions of P(x)

so we have:

[tex]\left \{ {{2^{4}+2^{3}a-2^{2}+2b-12 =0} \atop {1-a-1-b-12=0}} \right.\\=>\left \{ {{8a+2b=0} \atop {a+b=-12}} \right.\\<=>\left \{ {{4a+b=0} \atop {a+b=-12}} \right.\\<=>\left \{ {{a=4} \atop {b=-16}} \right.[/tex]

=> [tex]P(x)=x^{4} + 4x^{3}-x^{2} -16x-12[/tex]

With P(x) = 0

=> [tex]x^{4}+4x^{3}-x^{2} -16x-12 = 0[/tex]

7x³ + 7x² + 2x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown polynomial be a

a + -3x³ + 2x - 5 = 4x³ + 7x² - 3

a = 4x³ + 7x² - 3 - (-3x³ + 2x - 5)
