1 = 4
a2 = -2(a1) - 1
a2 = -2(4) - 1
a2 = -9
a3 = -2(a2) - 1
a3 = -2(9) - 1
a3 = -19
Can you do a4 and a5 and answer?
Answer:
The axis of symmetry is 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In a vertical parabola, the axis of symmetry is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex
In this problem we have a vertical parabola open upward
The x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to the midpoint between the zeros of the parabola
so

therefore
The axis of symmetry is 
If the formula is a+b-c then you need to substitute the letters with the numbers. For this equation the formula would be:
(1+3-4) + (2+5-6)
(4-4) + (7-6)
0 + 1
=1
The answer would be 1
It's dependent on the context. A book may ask you to find the f'(x) of a function and you may have to use a u sub in your problem which requires you to find the dy/dx of what you substitute. So in this case both would be used.
The same line! hope this helps! i’m not 100% sure so if i’m wrong don’t flame me
