We are asked to determine the value of a such that the function f(x) = ax^2 + 5 is fit for the point given (-1,2). In this case, we substitute 2 to y and -1 to x. The result is then 2 = a*(-1)^2 + 5 ; 2 = a + 5; a is then equal to -3
An arithmetic sequence (a_n) is as follows:

where

is the first term and d is the constant difference,
thus, we see that the n'th term of an arithmetic sequence is

in our particular case d=5, the third term is 8, so we have:

and the general term is

,
Answer: first term is -2, n'th term is -2+5(n-1)
Answer:
A: square the binomial (x + 3), distribute the negative to the binomial (x2 + 9), simplify the dividend, and then divide

Solution:
The ratio is FEMALES to MALES.
So its 18/16, 18:16, or 18 to 16.
~Now we need to simplify.
18:16 → 18/2:16/2 → 9:8
*Note* When you have a ratio you need to know which comes first. If you put males to females that incorrect. It has to be correct according to the question.
