Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I learned this easy way to complete the sqare in the fastest way possible
First you want to get it to x^2. So the first thing you would do is divide the entire equation by 2 to get 2(x^2 -5/2x +3/2). then you do one half of b or in this case -5/2. That would make -5/4. you would put this into the factor.
2( x -5/4 + ) ( x -5/4 - )
Then you square that number (-5/4)
That makes 25/16. you take that number and subtract the last number or the constant, c to make 1/16. now to finish it up you square root that number. the squre root of 1/16 is 1/4. then you put that into the last part of the factor.
2( x -5/4 + 1/4) ( x -5/4 - 1/4)
Then you simplify
(x-1) 2(x-3/2)
(x-1) (2x-3)
now to make sure I am correct, I will re-multiply it out
2x^2 -5x + 3
Answer:
The nth term of the given sequence
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>
Given sequence -5,-4,-1,4,11,20,31
a₀ = -5
a₁ = a₀ +1 = -5 +1 = -4
a₂ = a₁ + 3 = -4+3 = -1
a₃ = a₂ + 5 = -1 +5 = 4
a₄ = a₃ + 7 = 4 + 7 =11
a₅ = a₄ + 9 = 11+9 = 20
a₆ = a₅ + 11 = 20+11 = 31
a₇ = a₆ + 13 = 31 +13 =44
and so on
The nth term of the given sequence
