Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have no grounds for making a statement like that. There are a variety of reasons why you might not get immediate answers. Be patient.
I will do the second part of this question (finding the first three numbers):
a(4) = a(3)*(-3) + 2 = -148, so a(3)*(-3) = -150 and a(3) = -50
a(3) = 50
a(2) = a(3)*(-3) + 2 = 50, so -3*a(3) = 48 and a(d) = -16
a(1) = a(2)*(-3) + 2 = -16, so a(2)*(-3) = -18 and a(1) = 6
The procedure for finding a(5), a(6) and a(7) is exactly the same.
The x-intercept is when y=0, so we plug that in our equation,
. +12 on both sides to get
. Divide by -8 to get
That sounds correct to me.
