Given are several terms in a quadratic pattern:
a1 = ?
a2 = 1
a3 = -16
a4 = ?
a5 = -14
let:
x y
1 ?
2 1
3 -16
4 ?
5 -14
considering the 2nd term and 3rd term, we can determine a quadratic function:
y = -17x + 35
therefore,
a1 = 18
a4 = -33
Answer:
77
Step-by-step explanation:
$2790 is shares equally between 3 committees. each committee would get - $2790 / 3 = $930
If a shirt costs $12 and the Sports Committee gets $930, the committee would get $930 / $12 = 77.5
The committee cannot get half a shirt, so the greatest number of shirt that can be purchased is 77
Let Tony's age = x
He is 4 years younger than his brother Josh, so Josh's age would be x + 4
He is 2 years older than his sister, so her age would be x - 2
He has a twin, which would be the same age, so the twins age is also x
They all add together to equal 66, so you get:
x + x + x+4 + x-2 = 66
Simplify:
4x +2 = 66
Subtract 2 from both sides:
4x = 64
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 64/4 = 16
Tony is 16 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:
See it in the pic.
The factors of 4 x² - 9 :
4 x² - 9 = ( 2 x - 3 ) · ( 2 x + 3 )
We have to use the formula for the difference of squares:
a² - b² = ( a - b ) · ( a + b )
