Answer:
The discriminant is 40
Step-by-step explanation:
First, rewrite the equation as 
so that the equation is in the form of 
. Thus, the discriminant is 
. This tells us that since the discriminant is greater than 0, then there are 2 real solutions.
Our function is
.
We want to find f(5).
Let's substitute 5 for n.
f(5) = -2f(5-1) + 1
f(5) = -2f(4) + 1
We need to know f(4).
f(4) = -2f(4-1) + 1
f(4) = -2f(3) + 1
We need to know f(3).
f(3) = -2f(3-1) + 1
f(3) = -2f(2) + 1
We need to know f(2).
f(2) = -2f(2-1) + 1
f(2) = -2f(1) + 1
We know that f(1) = 3
f(2) = -2(3) + 1
f(2) = -6 + 1
f(2) = -5
Now we can use f(2) = -5 to find f(3)...
f(3) = -2(-5) + 1
f(3) = 10 + 1
f(3) = 11
Now we can use f(3) = 11 to find f(4)...
f(4) = -2(11) + 1
f(4) = -22 + 1
f(4) = -21
Now we can use f(4) = -21 t find f(5)!
f(5) = -2(-21) + 1
f(5) = 42 + 1
f(5) = 43
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
When dealing with an equation that only involves addition and subtraction ...you can solve it juat as it is witout using any special method same applied to equations tht involve only multiplication and division ... because they are an (inverse) of each other... hope it helps
Answer:
3 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
1 1/2 + 1 1/2 = 3
F(x) = x^2 + 3x + 2
if g(x) is the reflection of f(x) across the x - axis then
g(x) = -f(x)
g(x) = - (x^2 + 3x + 2)
g(x) = - x^2 - 3x - 2
