Answer:

2(x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 4)

or 2x^3 - 26x - 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the polynomial if factor form:

P(x) = a(x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 4)  where a is some constant.

Now, since f(-2) = 12  we can write :

12 = a(-2 + 3)(-2 + 1)(-2-4)

12 = 6a

a = 2.

So the polynomial is

2(x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 4).

Expanded that is

2(x + 3)(x^2 - 3x - 4)

= 2(x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 3x^2 - 9x - 12)

= 2x^3 - 26x - 24.

What value, written as a decimal, should Lena use as the common ratio?
inn [45]

Answer:

an=1*2.5^(n-1)

=2.5^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question below:

What value, written as a decimal, should Lena use as the common ratio? Lena is asked to write an explicit formula for the graphed geometric sequence. On a coordinate plane, 3 points are plotted. The points are (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25).

Solution

Point (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25).

a=1

ar=2.5

ar^2=6.25

From ar and ar^2

r=6.25/2.5

=2.5

r=2.5

an=ar^(n-1)

Therefore, the explicit formula is

an=1*2.5^(n-1)

=2.5^(n-1)
