Consider the sequence -3,7,17,
which function (with domain all integers n> =1) could be used to define and continue the sequence.

a f(n)= 10n-13
b f(n)=-3n+10
c f(n)=10n-3
d f(n)=-3(n-1)+10

The function is f(n) = 10n - 13 ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the arithmetic sequence

- There is a constant difference between each two consecutive

  numbers

- Ex:

# 2  ,  5  ,  8  ,  11  ,  ……………………….

# 5  ,  10  ,  15  ,  20  ,  …………………………

# 12  ,  10  ,  8  ,  6  ,  ……………………………

* General term (nth term) of an Arithmetic sequence:

# U1 = a  ,  U2  = a + d  ,  U3  = a + 2d  ,  U4 = a + 3d  ,  U5 = a + 4d

# Un = a + (n – 1)d, where a is the first term , d is the difference

  between each two consecutive terms, n is the position of the

  term in the sequence

* Now lets solve the problem

- The sequence is -3 , 7 , 17 , 27 ,

∵ 7 - (-3) = 7 + 3 = 10

∵ 17 - 7 = 10

∵ 27 - 17 = 10

∴ The sequence is arithmetic with constant difference 10

∴ f(n) = a + (n - 1)d

∵ a = -3

∵ d = 10

∴ f(n) = -3 + (n - 1)(10) ⇒ lets simplify it

∴ f(n) = -3 + n(10) + (-1)(10) = -3 + 10n - 10 ⇒ add like terms

∴ f(n) = 10n - 13

* The function is f(n) = 10n - 13

2 x^2 -3x+p

sum of roots = 3/2

let other root be x

3+ x = 3/2

x= 3/2 - 3 = -3/2

product of roots = p/2

3× -3/2 = p/2

-9 = p

just take the area of the square and then the area of the circle then subtract the circle area from the squares area
