Answer:
p = -5
every element in the sequence is created by subtracting 3 from the pervious element.
Step-by-step explanation:
I am not sure you put every necessary information here.
but I'd the visible information is truly everything, then it's is trivial.
the difference between 4 and 1 is ... well, -3. meaning we subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.
we suspect this is the rule and keep trying.
1 -3 = -2
hey it works.
and -8 -3 = -11
hey, also correct.
and the difference between -2 and -8 is -6, and when we place another item in between (p), we cut that in half again to -3. so, it is all consistent.
therefore,
p = -2 -3 = -5
the rule is
an = an-1 - 3
<u>Answer:</u>
1
you rise 1
then run to the right 1
1/1 = 1
let me know if you need a more in-depth explanation.
-sqrt(36) = -6

Answer:
(c) P(x) = x^4 +3x^3 -10x^2 -30x
Step-by-step explanation:
If the polynomial has integer coefficients, its complex or radical roots come in conjugate pairs. That is, -√10 is also a root. The four roots mean the polynomial has degree 4. That eliminates all but answer choice C.
Each root 'a' gives rise to a factor (x -a), so the factored polynomial is ...
P(x) = (x -0)(x -(-3))(x -√10)(x -(-√10))
P(x) = x(x +3)(x² -10) = x(x³ +3x² -10x -10)
P(x) = x^4 +3x^3 -10x^2 -10x
