The given sequence is
1, -2, 4, -8, ...., 
Multiply the 1st term by -2 to obtain     1*(-2) = -2   (the 2nd term)
Multiply the 2nd term by -2 to obtain -2*(-2) = 4    (the 3rd term)
Multiply the 3rd term by -2 to obtain  -2*(4) = -8  (the 4th term)
Answer:
Anet is incorrect.
This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of -2.

Initial size = 24 (This is the 1st term in the sequence)
2nd term = 24 +5 = 24 + (2-1)*5
3rd term =  24 + 5 + 5 = 24 +(3-1)*5
By induction, the n-th term is
A(n) = 24 + (n-1)*5
Answer:
The given formula is correct.

What is the solution to 2х2+8х=х2-16?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

double, real root x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentation:  2х^2 + 8х = х^2 - 16.

Combine like terms:

х^2 + 8х = - 16.

Re-write in the standard form for a quadratic:

х^2 + 8х + 16 = 0

Recognize that this is the square of the binomial x + 4:

х^2 + 8х + 16 = 0  =>  (x + 4)^2 = 0

Solving this last result for x yields the double, real root x = -4.
