The common difference of the sequence is -3 and the fifth term is 5
<h3>How to determine the common difference?</h3>
The sequence is given as:
17, 14, 11, 8....
The common difference is
d = T2 - T1
So, we have
d = 14 - 17
Evaluate
d = -3
Hence, the common difference of the sequence is -3
<h3>How to determine the
fifth term?</h3>
The fifth term is calculated as:
T5 = a + 4d
Where
a = T1 = 17
d = -3
So, we have:
T5 = 17 - 4 * 3
Evaluate
T5 = 5
Hence, the fifth term is 5
<h3>How to determine the
nth term?</h3>
The nth term is calculated as:
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
Hence, the nth term is Tn = a + (n - 1)d

So since -2, 0, 1 are the roots:
Therefore x = -2, x = 0 , x = 1
Implies that:
x = 2 x - 2 = 0
x = 0 x = 0
x = 1 x - 1 = 0
Therefore (x - 2)x(x - 1) = 0
(x - 2)(x - 1) = x(x - 1) - 2(x - 1) = x² - x - 2x + 2 = x² - 3x + 2
(x - 2)x(x - 1) = 0
(x - 2)(x - 1)x = 0
(x² - 3x + 2)x = 0
x*x² - x*3x + x*2 = 0
x³ - 3x² + 2x = 0
This is the polynomial with the least degree, because it possible for another polynomial with higher power to still have the same root.
x³ - 3x² + 2x = 0 is the polynomial.
I hope this helps.
Answer:
Is there a picture for this?
Step-by-step explanation:
I find it simplest to convert to standard form, find the perpendicular, convert back.
For standard form we move the x term to the left side:
The perpendiculars are given by swapping the x and y coefficients, negating one. The right side is directly determined by the point (-2,7):
Solve for y for point slope form:
That's the answer.
By the remainder theorem 8x^2 + 4x - 3 when divided by 2x - 1 is
8(1/2)^2 + 4(1/2) - 3 = 2 + 2 - 3 = 1 answer
