Answer:
- 3, - 1, 1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the first 3 terms substitute n = 1, 2, 3 into the formula
a₁ = 2(1) - 5 = 2 - 5 = - 3
a₂ = 2(2) - 5 = 4 - 5 = - 1
a₃ = 2(3) - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1
The first 3 terms are - 3, - 1, 1
3.2128 is a rational number
P = A(1+r)^x
where P is the population at time x
A is the initial population and r is the growth/decay rate. Growth will be +positive r number added to the 1. Where as decay subtracts r. So any answers that are > than 1 which is answers A and B.
