Question

Decide whether the sequence 4,10,20,34,52 ....... is a linear model,

Quadratic model or cubic model.

Answer 1

Lineal.

Explanation:

To determine if the sequence 4,10,20,34,52 ....... is a linear model, a quadratic model or a cubic model, the following mathematical logical reasoning must be carried out:

4 to 10 = +6

10 to 20 = +10

20 to 34 = +14

34 to 52 = +18

Thus, we can see at a glance that the sequence increases 4 numbers in each digit, adding first 6, then 10, then 14 and so on, with which the next numbers in that sequence should be 74 (+22), 100 ( +26), 130 (+30), 164 (+34), and so on.

Therefore, since there is no quadratic or cubic relationship, the sequence is linear.
