Answer:
1355.4 or 1355 remainder 2 (if you need remainder)
Remark
What you have to do to learn the difference between recursive and explicit is try try the first 3 or 4 terms to see what you have and how you did it.
a1 = - 3
a2 = - 3 (1/8) = -3 / 8
a3 = (a2) (1/8)
a3 = (-3/8) * 1/8
a3 = (- 3/64)
a4 = a3 (1/8)
a4 = -3/64 * 1/8
a4 = - 3 / 512
Take a good look at a4. What do you notice? No matter what, you are always multiplying by 1/8. That means that A and D are both wrong which they would have you raising by 3 or - 3 to some power.
So which one of B and C is correct?
The answer is which ever one will not change sign from what it started out with. All four terms are minus.
In B the term is multiplied by plus 1/8. That will not change the sign of the next term.
So the answer is
a_n = - 3 * (1/8)^(n - 1) <<<<< answer
Answer:
511
Step-by-step explanation:
a-b = 7 ____eq 1
ab = 8 ____eq 2
a = 7 + b ___eq 3
a = 8/b ___eq 4
using simultaneous equations :
7 + b = 8/b
7b + b^2=8
b^2 + 7b - 8 =0
factorize it
b^2 + 8b - b - 8 = 0
b(b+8) -1(b+8)=0
b = 1 , -8
then a = 8/1 = 8
a =8/-8 = -1
a = 8, -1
so,
a^3 - b^3
= (8)^3-(1)^3
= 511
Answer:
[see below]
Step-by-step explanation:
Find two points that would satisfy the equation.
When x = 1:

One point would be (1, 3).
When x = 2:

Another point would be (2, 6).
Graph the points (1,3) and (2,6) and draw a line crossing through them.
Hope this helps.
