Your solution, attempt at solution. If you are unable to attempt a solution, give a phrase-by-phrase interpretation of the problem along with a statement of what you do or do not understand about it. This response should be given, based on the work you did in completing the assignment, before you look at the given solution.

Given Solution:

`a** We can calculate the rates of change of a quadratic function based on a series of consecutive intervals of constant

length. We find that these rates change from interval to interval, and always by the same amount. Since the rates of

change always change by the same amount, they are changing at a constant rate. **

Confidence Assessment:

Given Solution:

`a** We let n be the first integer for which the value a(n) is not given, and we substitute this integer into the recurrence

relation to evaluate a(n) for this 'new' integer, using values of a(n) for previous integers. If this is not possible then we

have not been given enough information to evaluate the sequence.

 

We then substitute the next integer and use values of a(n) for previous integers.

 

We continue this process as long as necessary to get the results we need. **
