Answer:

(x - 5)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 2x - 15

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 2)

The factors are - 5 and + 3, since

- 5 × 3 = - 15 and - 5 + 3 = - 2, thus

(x - 5)(x + 3) ← in factored form

I think B is the only polynomial because A and C both have roots that aren't supposed to be in polynomial expressions and you can't divide (D)

Carly draws quadrilateral JKLM with vertices J(-3,3), K(3,3), L(2,-1),and M(-2, -1). What is the best way to classify the quadri

Trava [24]

Answer:

Trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

The points are shown in the attached graph.

You can clearly see from the picture that it is a "Trapezoid".

Trapezoid is basically a quadrilateral (4 sided-figure) that has 1/2 pair of parallel sides.

On the other hand, a parallelogram has 2 pair of parallel sides.

Thus, a parallelogram is a special type of trapezoid where there are 2 pair of parallel sides. But trapezoid need not be a parallelogram.

The picture shows 1 pair of parallel sides, hence it is a trapezoid.

Calculate, to four decimal places, the first ten terms of the sequence. an = 1 +(−4/9)^n

Lemur [1.5K]

The first ten terms of the sequence $a_n=1 + (-\frac{4}{9} )^n$ is 0.5556, 1.1975, 0.9122, 1.039, 0.9827, 1.0077, 0.9966, 1.0015, 0.9993 and 1.0003

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Given that:

$a_n=1 + (-\frac{4}{9} )^n\\\\When\ n=1:a_1=1 + (-\frac{4}{9} )^1=0.5556\\\\When\ n=2:a_2=1 + (-\frac{4}{9} )^2=1.1975\\\\When\ n=3:a_3=1 + (-\frac{4}{9} )^3=0.9122\\\\When\ n=4:a_4=1 + (-\frac{4}{9} )^4=1.039\\\\When\ n=5:a_5=1 + (-\frac{4}{9} )^5=0.9827\\\\When\ n=6:a_6=1 + (-\frac{4}{9} )^6=1.0077\\\\When\ n=7:a_7=1 + (-\frac{4}{9} )^7=0.9966\\\\When\ n=8:a_8=1 + (-\frac{4}{9} )^8=1.0015\\\\When\ n=9:a_9=1 + (-\frac{4}{9} )^9=0.9993\\\\$

$When\ n=10:a_{10}=1 + (-\frac{4}{9} )^{10}=1.0003\\$

The first ten terms of the sequence $a_n=1 + (-\frac{4}{9} )^n$ is 0.5556, 1.1975, 0.9122, 1.039, 0.9827, 1.0077, 0.9966, 1.0015, 0.9993 and 1.0003
