If f(1)=3 and f(n)=-2f(n-1)+1,then f(5)=

1 answer:

5 0

F(5) = - 2f(4) + 1
f(4) = -2f(3) + 1
f(3) = -2f(2) + 1
f(2) = -2f(1) + 1
Therefore:
f(2) = -2(3) + 1 = -5
f(3) = -2(-5) + 1 = 11
f(4) = -2(11) + 1 = -21
Therefore f(5) = -2(-21) + 1 = 43

Use the grouping method to factor the polynomial below completely 3x^3+9x^2+5x+15

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

(x+3)( 3x^2 +5)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^3+9x^2+5x+15

Split into two groups

3x^3+9x^2 +5x+15

Factor 3x^2 out of the first group and 5 out of the second group

3x^2 ( x+3) + 5(x+3)

Factor out x+3

(x+3)( 3x^2 +5)

Dahasolnce [82]

The probability of drawing a black marble is 7/31 or .226 or 22.581%. To find the probability of these type of questions, add all together to get 31, then since there are 7 black marbles the probability would be 7/31.
