This sequence is no longer linear. It is not constant till the 2nd level. It is quadratic as can seen in the graph of the points.

As you can see, this graph is part of a parabola or quadratic equation.
If we examine some characteristics of quadratic equations, we will be able to see how these equations can be converted into two linear sequences for which it is very easy to find formulas.

Solving Quadratic Equations

( 7)( 1) 0x x
Set = to 0, then factor.
The two factors are in y = mx + b form.
If we factor the terms into linear sequences, then each factor can be easily converted into an algebraic expression in the
form or mx + b.

Only certain combination will create two linear sequences. Our difficulty is determining which factors will create the sequences.

Elimination Strategies
All linear sequence either constantly increase or constantly decrease.
Therefore if the sequence doesn’t continually increase or decrease, the factors can be rejected.
Knowing this will increase the speed of finding the correct set of factors..

Note that now we did not need to try as many factor combinations.

By using the concept that the linear factors need to increase or decrease every time, the number of trials to find the correct sequence of factors is greatly reduced.

Summary When the gap between terms of sequences are constant on the second level, the sequence is quadratic or second degree.
The rule for each term is created by the factors of each term which create their own linear sequence.
The quadratic sequence is treated as the product of 2 linear sequences.
![Page 53: 3QuadraticSequences](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060119/558e586d1a28ab5f6e8b4707/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Time can be saved by assuming a pattern exists in the first two columns of factors, then seeing if the terms can correctly predict the following terms.
Also, time can be saved by rejecting terms that do not increase or decrease.
These problems require a lot of practice.
