Answer: x+2 / x+ 9, x = -2, x=-9 ( A )
Solution:
Breakdown the problem into two sets
Step 1: simplify x^2 -10x - 24
Factorize the above equation,
Multiply the last term (24) with the first term coefficient i.e. 1
Step 2: Then, find the factors of 24 in a way that when you add or subtract it sums up to 10
x2 - 12x + 2x - 24 >>>> (x2-12x) + (2x-24) >>> take common
>>>> x(x-12) + 2( x-12)
Step 3: (x + 2) (x - 12)
Step 4: Step 1: simplify x^2 - 3x - 108 using the same steps
x2 - 12x + 9x - 108 >>>> take common x(x-12) + 9 ( x -12) >>>
(x + 9) (x - 12) final product
Now, Simplify the equation as a whole
(x + 2) (x - 12) / (x + 9) (x - 12) Note: (x - 12) cancels out
= (x + 2) / (x + 9) with x= -2 and x= -9

Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
A recursive formula allows any term in the sequence to be found by adding the common difference d to the previous term.
Here d = - 4 , then recursive formula is
= 
- 4 with a₁ = 2
(b)
The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 2 and d = - 4, thus
= 2 - 4(n - 1) = 2 - 4n + 4 = 6 - 4n ← explicit formula
(c)
Using the recursive formula
a₁ = 2
a₂ = 2 - 4 = - 2
a₃ = - 2 - 4 = - 6
Using the explicit formula
a₅ = 6 - 4(5) = 6 - 20 = - 14
a₁₀ = 6 - 4(10) = 6 - 40 = - 34
a₁₀₀ = 6 - 4(100) = 6 - 400 = - 394
It would be 1/5 because the line is going in a positive direction and all you have to do is pick to points and do rise/run
