Answer:
I came to the answer of 6.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x^3 - 6 x^2 - x + 6
Discussion:
The polynomial is
(x-1) (x - (-1)) (x-6) =
(x-1)(x+1)(x-6) = => as (x-1)(x+1) = x^2 - 1
(x^2-1)(x-6) =
x^2(x) - 6 x^2 - 1x + 6 =
x^3 - 6 x^2 - x + 6
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
Stare at it long enough. You will notice that with each step you double the value, and change sign. It makes it a geometric sequence of ratio -2. At this point you have two ways of writing down:
Option 1: Ricorsively, the first term is -5, then the next term is -2 times the previous one:

Option 2: In closed form, remembering that the n-th term in a geometric sequence is the starting term times the n-th power of the ratio:
Either work, depending on what you need to use it for.
