Answer:

$a_{n}$ = - 3 $a_{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio between consecutive terms of the sequence, that is

r = 9 ÷ - 3 = - 27 ÷ 9 = 81 ÷ - 27 = - 243 ÷ 81 = - 3

The recursive formula is of the form

$a_{n}$ = r $a_{n-1}$ = - 3 $a_{n-1}$

deff fn [24]

Answer: w = -3u/2 + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12u + 13 = 8w - 3

-12u + 13 + 3 = 8w -3 + 3

-12u + 16 = 8w

Please help!!!! BRAINLIEST for whoever is correct!! What is the difference of the rational expressions below?

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x + 5}{ {x}^{2} } - \frac{2}{5x}$

Write all the numbers above the least common denominator ${5x}^{2}$

$\frac{5(x + 5) - 2x}{5 {x}^{2} }$

Distribute 5 through the parentheses

$\frac{5x + 25 - 2x}{5 {x}^{2} }$

Collect like terms

$\frac{3x + 25}{5 {x}^{2} }$

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
