A recursive rule for a geometric sequence is a1=3;an=12an−1 . What is the explicit rule for this sequence?

1 answer:

6 0

From the recursive rule, you can tell the initial value is 3 and the common ratio is 12. The explicit rule is always
.. (n-th term) = (initial value)*(common ratio)^(n -1)

Subsituting the values you know, you have
.. an = 3*12^(n-1)

Is 3 to the negative 1 power times 3 to the negative 1 power equal to 3 to the 1 power?

To make the exponent positive, make a fraction. 1/3 * 1/3. This is 0.1 repeating. 3^1 is 3. So the answer is no.

Answer:

The factor form is $\left(s-1\right)\left(s-5\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

When the factor of the expression is to be found, then take the common terms are to be taken by various methods. The best method is the middle term split method if we have the quadratic polynomial.

Now, here we have to find the factor of the expression:

$s^2-6s+5$
