Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's calculate the answer to the second parenthesis. Just multiply throughout to get -8xyz. Then, multiply the first parenthesis by the second. Multiply the constants (-8 and 2) first to get -16, multiply the x's together to get x^2, the y's together to get y^2, and the z's together to get z^2. Put it all together to get
.
First term (a1) is -1
recursive formula goes like this

is the nth term

is the term before that
we normally have

we see each term is multipying by -3 to get next one
so that would be

where a1=-1
the 3rd option is correct except that it is the explicit formula
so answer is 2nd one
Answer: -3x + 4, (2,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you want to get y alone on one side.
3x + y = 4
-4 -4 subtract 4 to get it on the left side.
-y -y subtract y to get it alone on the right side.
Your'e left with 3x - 4 = -y divide the whole equation by -1 do get a pos y
You then have y = -3x + 4. That's the first part of your answer.
To get the second part plug in (-3x + 4) into the y of the first equation, this is the substitution part.
-2x + 5(-3x+4) =-14 distribute the 5... -2x - 15x +20 = -14
add your like terms ( x and x) -17x + 20 = -14
Isolate your x by subtracting the 20, both sides -20 -20
-17x = -34 divide both side by 17 you get x = 2 (---- this is your first coordinate in the pair in your answer. To get the y do the same but solve for y instead of x.
If a sequence is defined recursively by f(0)=2and f(n+1)=-2f(n)+3 for n> 0 then f(2) is equal to what
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 2(4)=0
x+8 =0
x= -8
