The first four terms of a quadratic sequence are 9, 23, 45 and 75 work out the next two terms of the sequence

9, 23, 45, 75, 113, 159

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic Sequence

The difference between two consecutive terms of a quadratic sequence is another sequence, this one is an arithmetic sequence.

The first terms are given as:

9, 23, 45, 75, ...

Let's compute the differences:

23 -  9  = 14

45 - 23 = 22

75 - 45 = 30

Note the differences form an aritmetic sequence of commons difference 8.

The next two terms will be formed adding 8 to the previous difference, that is:

30 + 8 = 38 is the next difference. And the next term is

75 + 38 = 113

38 + 8 = 46 is the next difference, and the next term is

113 + 46 = 159

Thus, the complete sequence is

9, 23, 45, 75, 113, 159

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
