Make your Reflective Journal for week 3 by writing the following: I have learned that
I want to learn more about

, 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

28

step-by-step explanation:

because that's the answer

the answer would be d.

step-by-step explanation:

move all variables to the left side and all constants to the right side

(x−3)^2+(y−1)^2=16

this is the form of a circle. use this form to determine the center and radius of the circle.

( x − h ) 2 + ( y − k ) 2 = r 2

match the values in this circle to those of the standard form. the variable   r   represents the radius of the circle,   h   represents the x-offset from the origin, and   k   represents the y-offset from origin.

r = 4

h = 3

k = 1

the center of the circle is found at   ( h , k ) .

center:   ( 3 , 1 )

these values represent the important values for graphing and analyzing a circle.

center:   ( 3 , 1 ).

radius:   4

step-by-step explanation:

we have

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

this is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open up

the vertex is a > vertex

the domain of the function is all real > interval (-∞,∞)

the range of the function is the > [-6.125,∞)

the function has two x->   and

the function is increasing over the > (0.25,∞)

the function is decreasing over the > (-∞,0.25)
