Make a conjecture about the next item in the sequence 1, -4, 9, -16

To get -4 from 1, we must either subtract 5 from 1 or mult. 1 by -4.  Unfortunately subtracting 5 from -4 does not result in 9, and mult -4 by -4 does not result in -16.  So neither "works"  in predicting the next term.

Can you think of any other experiments to do that would help you discover the pattern 1, -4, 9, -16?

The  absolute values of each term are a  sequence of  perfect squares  and the sign alternates  so the next term would be 5^2 = 25 answer.

Answer:

12 x^4 + 18 x^3 - 9 x^2 thus D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the following:

3 x^2 (4 x^2 + 6 x - 3)

3 x^2 (4 x^2 + 6 x - 3) = 3 x^2 (4 x^2) + 3 x^2 (6 x) + 3 x^2 (-3):

3 4 x^2 x^2 + 3 6 x^2 x - 3 3 x^2

3 (-3) = -9:

3 4 x^2 x^2 + 3 6 x^2 x + -9 x^2

3 x^2×6 x = 3 x^(2 + 1)×6:

3 4 x^2 x^2 + 3×6 x^(2 + 1) - 9 x^2

2 + 1 = 3:

3 4 x^2 x^2 + 3 6 x^3 - 9 x^2

3×6 = 18:

3 4 x^2 x^2 + 18 x^3 - 9 x^2

3 x^2×4 x^2 = 3 x^4×4:

3×4 x^4 + 18 x^3 - 9 x^2

3×4 = 12:

Answer:  12 x^4 + 18 x^3 - 9 x^2
