D. -4/3
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
9x2+24x+20=4
Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides.
9x2+24x+20−4=4−4
9x2+24x+16=0
Step 2: Factor left side of equation.
(3x+4)(3x+4)=0
Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.
3x+4=0 or 3x+4=0
x=

Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
A recursive formula allows any term in the sequence to be found by adding the common difference d to the previous term.
Here d = - 4 , then recursive formula is
=
- 4 with a₁ = 2
(b)
The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 2 and d = - 4, thus
= 2 - 4(n - 1) = 2 - 4n + 4 = 6 - 4n ← explicit formula
(c)
Using the recursive formula
a₁ = 2
a₂ = 2 - 4 = - 2
a₃ = - 2 - 4 = - 6
Using the explicit formula
a₅ = 6 - 4(5) = 6 - 20 = - 14
a₁₀ = 6 - 4(10) = 6 - 40 = - 34
a₁₀₀ = 6 - 4(100) = 6 - 400 = - 394
