Answer:
2nd choice B.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the options A-D to help you eliminate pretty quickly without actually graphing
So first chose says you have the graph on the left when x<1 But you should see our visual actually says we want to include what happens at 1 (the filled dot) so this isn't the answer
Second choice Possible
Third choice... I'm just going to look at one of the parts... x^2+4 for x<=1 says we should have part of a parabola to the left of x=1 (inclusive) but there is not parabola in our visual
Fourth choice: same reason as third choice
Answer is the 2nd
There are 2,600 foreign language students.
2m⁴ - 18n⁶
2(m⁴) - 2(9n⁶)
2(m⁴ - 9n⁶)
2(m⁴ - 3m²n³ + 3m²n³ - 9n⁶)
2[m²(m²) - m²(3n³) + 3n³(m²) - 3n³(3n³)]
2[m²(m² - 3n³) + 3n³(m² - 3n³)]
2(m² + 3n³)(m² - 3n³)
Answer:
f(n)=-5-3n
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the recursive formula of a sequence
f(1)=−8
f(n)=f(n−1)−3
We are to determine an explicit formula for the sequence.
f(2)=f(2-1)-3
=f(1)-3
=-8-3
f(2)=-11
f(3)=f(3-1)-3
=f(2)-3
=-11-3
f(3)=-14
We write the first few terms of the sequence.
-8, -11, -14, ...
This is an arithmetic sequence where the:
First term, a= -8
Common difference, d=-11-(-8)=-11+8
d=-3
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is determined using the formula:
T(n)=a+(n-1)d
Substituting the derived values, we have:
T(n)=-8-3(n-1)
=-8-3n+3
T(n)=-5-3n
Therefore, the explicit formula for f(n) can be written as:
f(n)=-5-3n
