Combining the like terms, the simplified polynomials are given as follows:

a) 4x² - 14x + 17

b) -5x² - 20x + 8

<h3>How are polynomials simplified?</h3>

Polynomials are simplified combining the like terms, that is, adding these numbers with the same variable.

Item a:

4(x - 2)(x + 1) - 5(2x - 5)

Applying the distributive property:

4(x² - x - 2) - 10x + 25

4x² - 4x - 8 - 10x + 25

Combining the like terms:

4x² - 4x - 10x - 8 + 25

4x² - 14x + 17

Item b:

-5(x + 2)² + 28

-5(x² + 4x + 4) + 28

-5x² - 20x - 20 + 28

-5x² - 20x + 8

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Least common denominator is 10

there are 10/10 portions in the whole circle

1/2 = 5/10

2/5 = 4/10

10/10 - 5/10 - 4/10 = 1/10

30 POINTS! Find an explicit formula for the geometric sequence −1,−7,−49,−343<br> d(n)=
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

<h2>d(n) = { - 7}^{n - 1}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sequence above is a geometric sequence

For an nth term in a geometric sequence

<h3>d(n) = a ({r})^{n - 1}</h3>

where

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

n is the nth term

To find the common ratio divide the previous term by the next term

That's

<h3>r =  \frac{ - 7}{ - 1}  = 7 \:  \:  \:  \: or \\ r =  \frac{ - 49}{ - 7}  = 7 \:  \:  \:  or \\ r =   \frac{ - 343}{ - 49}   = 7</h3>

So the common ratio / r = 7

the first term is - 1

Substitute the values into the above formula

<h3>d(n) =  - 1( {7})^{n - 1}  \\</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>d(n) = { - 7}^{n - 1}</h3>

Hope this helps you
