Answer:

36, 29, 22, 15, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: State known information

First difference is -7

Third term of the sequence is 22

Step 2: Find first 5 terms

You just need to add and subtract 7 to 22 and the answer 5 times

1. 36 +7

2. 29 +7

3. 22 <- We know 22 is the 3rd term

4. 15 -7

5. 8 -7

Therefore the first 5 terms of the sequence is 36, 29, 22, 15, 8

(01.01 MC)Why is 2 + (−3) equal to −1

tino4ka555 [31]

2+(-3) = -1

2- 3 = -1

-1=-1

The question is why though ?

It is because you keep the negative exponent which is with the biggest number. So this is how its look like +2 -3, so 3 is bigger then 2 so for that reason you keep the negative sign.

I hope that's help:)

$\text{Use}\ a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)\\\\27x^3-125=3^3x^3-5^3=(3x)^3-5^3=(3x-5)[(3x)^2+(3x)(5)+5^2]\\\\=\boxed{(3x-5)(9x^2+15x+25)}$
