A red bird is flying at an elevation of 17 1/9 meters. A blue bird was flying at an elevation of 10 3/5

The red bird is flying at 6 23/45 meters higher than the blue bird. But I'm not sure what you want me to solve here.

1. 17 1/9 and 2. The red bird is flying at a higher elevation than the blue bird.

Step-by-step explanation:

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

12

step-by-step explanation:

12 + 5 = 17

12x2=24

24-7=17
