tim did 10 lunges on day 1 and continued this doing 4 more lunges on each day.on day 7th he took a break and did nt do any day day.what is the equation for this? express it in the form y=ax(x+b)+c, where a,b and c are constants.x= no of days and y=no of lunges tim did
I don't believe the x in ax belongs there. So, instead of y = ax(x + b) + c, it should be y = a(x + b) + c
Now, this is an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.) with the following formula: , where:
is the value of the nth term
is the 1st term (10, in this case)
is the term number
is he common difference (4, in this case)
In the form y = a(x + b) + c, translates to y = 4(x - 1) + 10, with a, b, and c being constants
4, - 1, and 10, respectively. With him taking a break on day 7, he only did lunges for 6 days, so x would range from 1 - 6.
I'm TOTALLY CONFUSED as to what the other person did. His/her equation seems EXTREMELY weird!!!
