This factors to 64 - 4i^2
64 + 4
68 is the answer

d
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
None of the Above are correct
Answer:
- T(n) = 3n² - 4
- -189 doesn't belong
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given sequence:</u>
<u>The first differences:</u>
<u>The second differences:</u>
<u>If the sequence is T(n) = an² + bn + c, we have:</u>
<u>Using the first and second differences work out the value of zero term:</u>
This gives us c = - 4
<u>Now we have:</u>
<u>The first term is T(1) = -1, substitute n = 1 and find the value of b:</u>
- 3(1²) + b*1 - 4 = - 1
- 3 + b - 4 = - 1
- b = 0
<u>The nth term is:</u>
<u>Now lets find if -189 belongs to this sequence:</u>
- - 189 = 3n² - 4
- 3n² = - 185
The left side is positive and the right side is negative so the answer is also negative
