At n = 2
a₂ = (-1)² + 3a₂₋₁ + 2
a₂ = 1 + 3a₁ + 2
a₂ = 1 + (3)(5) + 2
a₂ = 18

At n = 3
a₃ = (-1)³ + 3a₃₋₁ + 2
a₃ = -1 + 3a₂ + 2
a₃ = -1 + (3)(18) + 2
a₃ = 55

At n = 4
a₄ = (-1)⁴ + 3a₄₋₁ + 2
a₄ = 1 + 3a₃ + 2
a₄ = 1 + (3)(55) + 2
a₄ = 168

The first four terms are 5, 18, 55, 168

A turtle was swimming 2 feet below the surface of a pond. While looking for food, he went down 7 more feet.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: 9 feet below or -9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

   Let us say 0 is the surface of a pond. The turtle started at -2 and then traveled -7 more. We will add these negative values to each other.

-2 + -7 = -2 - 7 = -9

          The turtle is now -9, or 9 feet below, the surface of the pond.

Answer:

x ≤ - \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x + 14 ≤ 13 ( subtract 14 from both sides )
