6.1 46; 60 aaper term (2)

6.2 first differences: 4; 6; 8; 10; 12 ...

second differences: 2; 2; 2 asecond difference

∴ 2a = 2 [Quadratic]
a=1 avalue of a
∴ Tn = an2 + bn + c
but a = 1
∴ T1 = 1(1) + b(1) + c = 6 .... [1] aany substitution
T2 = 4 + 2b + c = 10 ....[2]

∴ From [1]: b + c = 5 ....[3]

From [2]: 2b + c = 6 ....[4]

[4] - [3]: b=1 avalue of b/ c

substitute in [3]: c=4

∴T n = n2 + n + 4 aT n

QUESTION 11

11.1 2l + 2b = 72
∴ 2x + 2b = 72
b = 36 - x asolution (1)

11.2 mirror length = x - 4 asolution

mirror breadth = 32 - x asolution (2)

11.3 A = (x - 4)(-x + 32) aaformula & substitution (2)

= -x2 + 36x -128 cm2

∴ length = 18 - 4 = 14cm aboth values
breadth = 32 - 18 = 14cm [9]
