What is the relationship between 8.76 x 10^6 and 8.76 x 10^2

To find how many times greater you have to divide.In this question the bases are the same. This means you can use the exponent law for division.

The exponent for division sates that if you are dividing numbers with the same base but different exponents you can subtract the exponents.  

(8.76 x 10e6)divided by (8.76 x 10e2)

The answer of that is 8.76x10e4

This is because e6-e2 is e4

Therefore 8.76x10e6 is 10e4 times greater than 8.76x10e2

, 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

correct me if i am wrong.
