Find the difference between each number:
-24/4 = -6
144/-24 = -6
The next number is multiplied by -6
You have the first 4 terms
5th term = -864 x -6 = 5184
6th term = 5184 x -6 = -31,104
7th term = -31,104 x -6 = 186,624
8th term = 186,624 x -6 = -1,119,744
(sorry if it's too late and you've already figured it out, but here you go anyway)
The easiest way to do this is to start by FOILing then add.
So just start with (x-1)(x-1)
(x-1)(x-1)
Front: (x*x) = x^2
Outer: (x*-1) = -x
inner: (-1*x) = -x
Last: (-1*-1) = 1
Added: x^2 -2x +1
Now take that answer and do the same thing with (x-1). It's basically the same thing, just with an added thing you need to multiply.
(x-1)(x^2-2x+1)
(x*x^2) = x^3
(x*2x) = 2x^2
(x*1) = x
(-1*x^2) = -x^2
(-1*-2x) = 2x
(-1*1) = -1
Now add everything together:
x^3+2x^2+x-x^2+2x-1
The answer is:
x^3+x^2+3x-1
What exactly is n? I need to know n so I can figure out m.
To start this problem, what we need to do is try to simplify the fraction into one we might know already. The best way to go about doing this is to see if we can divide the top and bottom by any of the same numbers.
We can divide 9 by 1, 3, and 9
We can divide 12 by 1, 3, 4, and 12
Looking back over the numbers, we can see that both 9 and 12 are divisible by 3, so if we divide both of them by 3, we will get a new fraction! This fraction will be 3/4.
Our next step is to see if we know what 3/4 is. I know 1/4 is .25 because the coin called a quarter is 25 cents, so if I had 3 quarters, I would have 75 cents, so I know know that 9/12 = 3/4 = .75!
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic formula is:
A, in this case, is -2.
B is 5
C is -11
x = 
x = 
x = 
x = 
and 
We can break up the fraction to make it easier on our eyes
x = 
≈1.9843
x =
