-3|x + 7| = -12
|x + 7| = -12/-3 = 4
x + 7 = 4 and x + 7 = -4
x = 4 - 7 and x = -4 - 7
x = -3 and x = -11

Prove that an = 4^n + 2(-1)^nis the solution to

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to verify that if we substitute $a_n=4^n+2(-1)^n$ in the equation $a_n=3a_{n-1}+4a_{n-2}$ the equality is true.

Let's substitute first in the right hand side:

$3a_{n-1}+4a_{n-2}=3(4^{n-1}+2(-1)^{n-1})+4(4^{n-2}+2(-1)^{n-2})$

Now we use the distributive laws. Also, note that $(-1)^{n-1}=\frac{1}{-1}(-1)^n=(-1)(-1)^{n}$ (this also works when the power is n-2).

$=3(4^{n-1})+6(-1)^{n-1}+4(4^{n-2})+8(-1)^{n-2}$

$=3(4^{n-1})+(-1)(6)(-1)^{n}+4^{n-1}+(-1)^2(8)(-1)^{n}$

$=4(4^{n-1})-6(-1)^{n}+8(-1)^{n}=4^n+2(-1)^n=a_n$

then the sequence solves the recurrence relation.

PLEASE HELP ME EXPLAIN THE ANSWER

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

See the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequalities resolve to ...

x ≥ 1 or x ≤ -3

You have chosen the correct placement of the lines on the number line. The "or equal to" symbol (≥ or ≤) means the dots at -3 and +1 are filled in, indicating those numbers are part of the solution.

If the ">" or "<" symbol is used in the inequality, the dot is left open, as in the answer you selected. The open dot indicates that value is not part of the solution set.
