At 8:00 AM the temperature was -14 Fahrenheit by noon the temperature was 12 Fahrenheit find the difference in temperature

26 degrees is the difference in temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

if it was -14° in the morning it had to warm up 14 degrees to get to 0°, so that’s a difference of 14.

from 0° to 12° it warmed up 12 degrees so that’s a difference of 12

14+12=26, so 26° difference in temperature from the morning to noon

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
