Answer:
x = 3 or x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
(x + 2) (x - 3) = 0
Hint: | Find the roots of each term in the product separately.
Split into two equations:
x - 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.
Add 3 to both sides:
x = 3 or x + 2 = 0
Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.
Subtract 2 from both sides:
Answer: x = 3 or x = -2
The first term, a, is 2. The common ratio, r, is 4. Thus,
a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).
Check: What's the first term? Let n=1. Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8. Is that correct? No.
Try this instead:
a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1). Is this correct? Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2? 2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2. YES.
The desired explicit formula is a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.
-1/4 + (-5/3)
When there is no number between a grouping symbol and a + or - sign, by default you can multiply the contents in the group by 1 to get rid of the grouping symbols.
