A0 = -1
a1 = -3/2
a2 = -2
a3 = -5/2
a4 = -3
a5 = -7/2
The expression is

.
The excluded values are those values of x for which the denominator,

, becomes zero.
So, we need to factorize the expression

.
To factorize the expression, we can use the grouping method. Write -7x as -9x+2x to create 4 terms, as follows:

.
The, factorizing (x-9), we have (x-9)(x+2).
This expression becomes 0 for x=-2, or for x=9.
Answer: {-2, 9}
Even though I understand that everyone has their own opinion about this subject, I am glad that he is being held accountable for his actions. Though some may claim that the mobs were planning the attack before he implemented violence, I still believe that they were further influenced during his speech.
Answer:
B) 2n + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Each term increases by 2 units so the common difference is 2. Then plug in 1 into the equations that have a slope of 2 and see if you get 3 out. You do for 2n + 1.
Here are the areas of the 12 rectangular surfaces that make up the surface area of the podium:
7.5 x 1.5 = 11.25 square feet (Bottom)
1.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 4.5 square feet (Right/Left Bottom Sides)
2.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 7.5 square feet (Right/Left Flat)
1.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 4.5 square feet (Right/Left Top Sides)
2.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 7.5 square feet (Top Front/Back)
2.5 x 1.5 = 3.75 square feet (Top)
7.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 22.5 (Bottom Front and Back)
The area of all these surfaces is 61.5 square feet.
