The answer is (4/5). If you multiply the first (5/12) over and over, you get this sequence.
Maybe 38/10. Transforming it into fractions, then in tenths
The standard form of a parabola is y=ax²+bx+c
use the three given points to find the three unknown constants a, b, and c:
-2=a+b+c............1
-2=4a+2b+c......... 2
-4=9a+3b+c...........3
equation 2 minus equation 1: 3a+b=0..........4
equation 3 minus equation 2: 5a+b=-2.........5
equation 5 minus equation 4: 2a=-2, so a=-1
plug a=-1 in equation 4: -3+b=0, so b=3
Plug a=-1, b=3 in equation 1: -2=-1+3+c, so c=-4
the parabola is y=-x²+3x-4
double check: when x=1, y=-1+3-4=-2
when x=2, y=-4+6-4=-2
when x=3, y=-9+9-4=-4
Yes.
Answer:
n=12
Step-by-step explanation:
7n-18 =5n+6
+18 to both sides
7n=5n+24
-5n from both sides
2n=24
divide by 2
n=12
