If the <em>n</em>-th term of the sequence is given by <em>n</em> ² - 2, then the 5th term is obtained by simply replacing <em>n</em> with 5 :
5² - 2 = 25 - 2 = 23
Answer:
Yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 (8) + 9 = 13
1/2 x (8) equals 4
9 + 4 = 13
10m + 80 = P
where every month he gets 10, and for 6 months, he now has 60
plus the 80 he already has
so (10 * 6 ) + 80 = 140
k = 5
the equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
To obtain this form use the method of completing the square
Since the coefficient of the x² term is 1 then
add/ subtract (half the coefficient of the x-term )² to x² - 6x
f(x) = x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 - 9 + 14 = (x - 3)² + 5 → k = 5
