VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

a_1 = -2;~a_n = -2a_{n - 1}, ~n \ge 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number in the sequence, a_1, is -2.

Each number after that is the previous number multiplied by -2.

a_1 = -2

a_2 = a_1 \times (-2) = -2 \times (-2) = 4

a_3 = a_2 \times (-2) = 4 \times (-2) = -8

etc.

a_n = -2a_{n - 1}

We start by stating that a_1 = -2.

Now we need to show that for all n greater than or equal to 2, each number in the sequence is the previous number multiplied by -2.

a_n = -2a_{n - 1}

Answer:

a_1 = -2;~a_n = -2a_{n - 1}, ~n \ge 2

Quotien of 6x^4-15x^3-2x^2-10x-4÷3x^2+2
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: (6x^4 - 15x^3 - 2x^2 - 10x - 4) ÷ (3x^2 + 2)

= (6x^4 - 15x^3 + 4x^2 - 6x^2 - 10x - 4) ÷ (3x^2 + 2)

= (6x^4 + 4x^2 - 15x^3  - 10x - 6x^2 - 4) ÷ (3x^2 + 2)

= 2x^2(3x^2 + 2) - 5x(3x^2 + 2) - 2(3x^2 + 2) ÷ (3x^2 + 2)

= (3x^2 + 2)(2x^2 - 5x - 2) ÷ (3x^2 + 2)

= 2x^2 - 5x - 2               Ans.

I hope this helped!!! NO HATE COMMENTS IF I WAS WRONG!!!
