7, 9, 13 are the first three terms of a sequence with
nth term = an² + bn + c.
(i) By substituting n = 1, 2 and 3 set up three simultaneous equations in
a, b and c.
(ii) Solve your simultaneous equations and hence write down an
expression for the nth term.

Answers

Answer 1

(i) The simultaneous equations in a, b and c are a+b+c = 7 , 4a+2b+c = 9 & 9a+3b+c = 13  

(ii) Expression for nth term = n²-n+7

The first three terms of the sequence are 7, 9, 13

nth term = an²+bn+c

If we put n = 1 then,

1st term = a(1)²+b+c

⇒ a+b+c = 7   ......(1)

If we put n = 2 then,

2nd term = a(2)²+b×2+c

⇒ 4a+2b+c = 9    ........(2)

3rd term = a(3)²+b×3+c

⇒ 9a+3b+c = 13   .......(3)

Multiplying 4 with (1) and subtract (2) from (1) we get,

(4a+4b+4c)-(4a+2b+c)=28-9

⇒ 4a+4b+4c-4a-2b-c=19

⇒ 2b+3c=19 .....(4)

Multiplying 9 with (1) and subtract (3) from (1) we get,

(9a+9b+9c)-(9a+3b+c)=63-13

⇒ 9a+9b+9c-9a-3b-c=50

⇒ 6b+8c=50

⇒ 3b+4c=25 .....(5)

Multiplying 3 with (4) and multiplying 2 with (5), then subtract (5) from (4),

3(2b+3c)-2(3b+4c)=57-50

⇒ 6b+9c-6b-8c=7

⇒ c = 7

From (5),

3b+28 = 25

⇒ 3b = -3

⇒ b = -1

From (1),

a+(-1)+7 = 7

⇒ a-1=0

⇒ a=1

So, nth term = n²-n+7

The changes to a polygon

1. If the number of sides of the polygon should increase then the measure of the interior angle would increase by 180.

2. A regular polygon has the sum of its external angles as 360. This is solved as 360/n = 0

Hence the value of the exterior would move towards 0 as its sides increases.

4. As the total sum of the of the polygon changes, it would tend towards infinity.

Which of the following values can be found by using the formula √1+tan^2 0?

√1+tan²Ø√1+sin²Ø/cos²Ø√cos²Ø+sin²Ø/cos²Ø√1/cos²Ø1/cosØsecØ

cos and sec can be found

The requried simplified expression is 1 / cosØ, which is equivalent to secØ. The correct option is secØ.

Let's simplify the given expression and see which of the provided options match:

We are given the expression √(1 + tan²Ø).

Now, recall the trigonometric identity: tan²Ø = sin²Ø / cos²Ø.

Substitute this identity into the expression:

√(1 + sin²Ø / cos²Ø)

Next, find a common denominator for the fraction inside the square root:

√((cos²Ø + sin²Ø) / cos²Ø)

Since cos²Ø + sin²Ø = 1 (as per the Pythagorean trigonometric identity), the expression becomes:

√(1 / cos²Ø)

Now, we can take the square root of 1 and cos²Ø separately:

√1 / √cos²Ø

Simplify:

1 / cosØ

The simplified expression is 1 / cosØ, which is equivalent to secØ.

Therefore, the correct option is: secØ.

A cyclist is stationary when a second cyclist passes travelling at a constant speed of 8 m s−1. The first cyclist then accelerates for 5 s at a constant rate of 2 m s−1 before continuing at constant speed until overtaking the second cyclist. By sketching both graphs, find the equations of the two straight line sections of the graphs and hence find how long it is before the first cyclist overtakes the second.

Answers

Answer:

im not too sure about that sorry!

Step-by-step explanation:

uiwgorihvncjkdnskv

It takes 15 seconds for the first cyclist to overtake the second cyclist.

How can you find how long it took before the first cyclist overtakes the second?

First, identify the two phases of the first cyclist's motion.

Phase 1: The cyclist accelerates from rest to a constant speed of 8 m/s.

Phase 2: The cyclist travels at a constant speed of 8 m/s.

Find the equations of the two straight-line sections of the graph.

The equations of the two straight-line sections of the graph are as follows:

Phase 1:

s = [tex]2t^2[/tex]

Phase 2:

s = 8t

where s is the distance traveled by the cyclist and t is the time

Set the two equations equal to each other to find the time it takes the first cyclist to overtake the second cyclist

The first cyclist overtakes the second cyclist when the first cyclist has traveled a distance of 8 m more than the second cyclist.

Let t be the time it takes the first cyclist to overtake the second cyclist.

The distance traveled by the first cyclist is then 8t, and the distance traveled by the second cyclist is 8(t - 5).

Setting these two expressions equal to each other, we get:

8t = 8(t - 5)

Solving for t, we get:

t = 15

Therefore, it takes 15 seconds for the first cyclist to overtake the second cyclist

Given:  [tex]\textsf{Slope = -6/5, Goes through (0, 2)}[/tex]

Find:  [tex]\textsf{The equation in point-slope form}[/tex]

Solution: We need to take the values that were given to us and plug them into the point-slope form.  It doesn't seem like the problem is asking for anything more than that so we will leave it at that.

Plug in the values

[tex]\textsf{y - y}_1\textsf{ = m(x - x}_1\textsf{)}[/tex][tex]\textsf{y - 2 = -6/5(x - 0)}[/tex]

Since the problem is just asking for the equation in point-slope form the final expression would be y - 2 = -6/5(x - 0).

Answer:

[tex]\sf y - 2 = -\dfrac{6}{5}(x - 0)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\sf \large \underline{\textsf{Given:}}\ \textsf{a line with a slope of $-\dfrac{6}{5}$, and a y-intercept of $2$}[/tex]

We're given a y-intercept of 2, but using the slope-intercept form, we can immediately determine that x = 0. Hence, the given point is (0, 2).

Then, we substitute these values into the Point-Slope Form to find the equation.

Here are both forms for future reference:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

[ Where: m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept (when x = 0). ]

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

[ Where: m is the slope, and (x₁, y₁) is a given point. ]

Substitute the values into the Point-Slope Form:
