List the next three numbers for the sequence:

34, 102, 408, 2040, ...

12240

85680

685440

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sequence is growing rapidly

To see how rapidly divide the second term by the first term

102/34 =3

Check the third term divided by the second term

408/102 =4

Check the fourth term divided by the third term

2040/408=5

To get the second term, multiply by 3,  to get the third term multiply by 4

to get the fourth term multiply by 5

to get the nth term multiply by (n+1)

The 5th term would be multiplied by 6

2040 *6 =12240

The 6th term by 7

12240*7=85680

The 7th term by 8

85680*8=685440

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8
