Hey guys I really need help. You don't have to give the answer I just really need an explanation as to how to find the roots wit

h work, thank you so much.
Find the roots of f(n)=n^2-2n-15.
Tip: The ^2 means "to the power of" so n^2 is n to the power of 2.
Please help!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. by making factors

consider ax²+bx+c=0

if a×c or ac>0 , then break b=d+e such that de=ac

if ac<0,then write b=d-e (e.g.,5-2=3)

such that de=ac

here n²-2n-15

1×-15=-15

-2=-(5-3)

5×-3=-15

n²-2n-15=n²-(5-3)n-15

=n²-5n+3n-15

=n(n-5)+3(n-5)

=(n-5)(n+3)

roots are n-5=0,n=5 and n+3=0,n=-3

2. by using formula

ax²+bx+c=0

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\n^2-2n-15=0\\n=\frac{2 \pm\sqrt{(-2)^2-4*1*-15} }{2*1} \\=?

R, S, Q and P are the midpoints of OC, CB, BA and OA respectively.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw segment OB.

In triangle OBC, points R and S are the midpoints of sides OC and BC, respectively. That makes RS parallel to OB.

In triangle OBA, points P and Q are the midpoints of sides OA and BA, respectively. That makes PQ parallel to OB.

Since segments RS and PQ are parallel to segment OB, then RS and PQ are parallel to each other.

Find the next term is in the explicit and recursive rule for the in term of the sequence. NO LINKS!!!
BARSIC [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5) 729, an=3^n, a[1]=3; a[n]=3·a[n-1]

  6) 1792, an=7(4^(n-1)), a[1]=7; a[n]=4·a[n-1]

Step-by-step explanation:

The next term of a geometric sequence is the last term multiplied by the common ratio. (This is the basis of the recursive formula.)

The Explicit Rule is ...

  a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

for first term a₁ and common ratio r.

The Recursive Rule is ...

  a[1] = a₁

  a[n] = r·a[n-1]

__

5. First term is a₁ = 3; common ratio is r = 9/3 = 3.

Next term: 243×3 = 729

Explicit rule: an = 3·3^(n-1) = 3^n

Recursive rule: a[1] = 3; a[n] = 3·a[n-1]

__

6. First term is a₁ = 7; common ratio is r = 28/7 = 4.

Next term: 448×4 = 1792

Explicit rule: an = 7·4^(n-1)

Recursive rule: a[1] = 7; a[n] = 4·a[n-1]
