Question: `qQuery two examples and a picture ...explain the statement 'the rate of change of a quadratic

function changes at a constant rate'

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

The rate of change is changing at the same interval each time, and when something changes by the same amount each time, it is called a constant rate.

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution: OK

`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. **

Question: `qexplain how to get the first few members of a sequence from its recurrence relation

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

We let the number n be the first integer for the value a(n) that isn’t given to us. Then we substitute this integer into the recurrence relation to evaluate a(n) for the new integer we use.

If we can’t do this then we have not been given enough information in the problem to evaluate the sequence.

confidence rating #$&*: 2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution: OK

`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. **
