Let the n-th term be called

We see that if we choose

then the other numbers follow the pattern

(see :

)
Hence the sequence will be
Answer:
The average rate of change of f(x) = 3.14 inches⁻¹
The change in f(x) = 49.32 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of the spherical sculpture = x and its diameter f(x) = πx.
The average rate of change of f(x) as x changes is df(x)/dx = π = 3.14
Now the change in diameter Δf(x) = df(x) = (df(x)/dx)dx = πdx
dx = Δx = 28.3 in² - 12.6 in² = 15.7 in²
df(x) = π × 15.7 = 49.32 in
Consider the coordinate plane:
1. The origin is the point where Sharon and Jacob started - (0,0).
2. North - positive y-direction, south - negetive y-direction.
3. East - positive x-direction, west - negative x-direction.
Then,
- if Jacob walked 3 m north and then 4 m west, the point where he is now has coordinates (-4,3);
- if Sharon walked 5 m south and 12 m east, the point where she is now has coordinates (12,-5).
The distance between two points with coordinates
and
can be calculated using formula

Therefore, the distance between Jacob and Sharon is
