(c) The total number of one centimeter lines in the first n diagrams is given by the expression

23n3 + fn2 + gn.

(i) Use n = 1 in this expression to show that f + g =103. [1]

(ii) Use n = 2 in this expression to show that 4f + 2g = 323. [2]

(iii) Find the values of f and g

I) f + g = 10/3

II) 4f + 2g = 20/3

III) f = 2 and g = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the chart,

P = 25

q = 40

The total number of one centimeter lines in the first n diagrams is given by the expression 

2/3n^3 + fn^2 + gn. 

When n = 1, the total number of line = 4. So,

2/3(1)^3 + f(1)^2 + g(1) = 4

2/3 + f + g = 4

Make f+g the subject of formula

f + g = 4 - 2/3

f + g = (12 - 2)/3

f + g = 10/3 ......(1)

When n = 2

Total number of line = 12

2/3(2)^3 + f(2)^2 + g(2) = 12

2/3×8 + 4f + 2g = 12

16/3 + 4f + 2g = 12

4f + 2g = 12 - 16/3

4f + 2g = (36 - 16)/3

4f + 2g = 20/3 ......(2)

(iii) To find the values of f and g, solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously

f + g = 10/3 × 2

4f + 2g = 32/3

2f + 2g = 20/3

4f + 2g = 32/3

- 2f = - 12/3

f = 12/6

f = 2

Substitutes f in equation 1

f + g = 10/3

2 + g = 10/3

g = 10/3 - 2

g = (10 - 6)/3

g = 4/3

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!

option c) graph of line going through 1, 4 and 3, 10

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to margo's coin collection

let x equal to number of years

at the begining x=0, y=1 → point=(x,y)→point=(0,1)

she adds 3 coins per year, then y=1+3x

at x=1, y=1+3(1)=1+3→y=4→point=(x,y)→point=(1,4)

at x=3, y=1+3(3)=1+9→y=10→point=(x,y)→point=(3,10)

the graph of line going through (1, 4) and (3, 10), then the option c is the correct.
