Answer:

the answer is f(x) = n*(-2)

ratio is the wrong word to use, it is for contolled variation in probability. a sequence is controlled by what is known as a function - f(x) is the symbol for a function

Step-by-step explanation:

the following number of the previous one in the sequence is derived by the function f(x)=n*(-2)

2 x -2 = -4 (positive x negative = negative)

-4 × -2 = 8 (negative x negative = positive)

8 x -2 = -16 (positive x negative = negative)

so in the sequence, the trend of -,+ double will go on

The area of a rectangle is 20 square inches. If the length is 4 inches less than 6 times the width, then find the dimensions of

Tpy6a [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width=x

Length =6x-4

As we know that in a rectangle

${\boxed{\sf Area=LB}}$

Substitute the values

$\hookrightarrow\sf x (6x-4)=20$

$\hookrightarrow\sf 6x^2-4x=20$

$\hookrightarrow\sf 6x^2-4x-20=0$

Here a=6, b=-4, c=-20.
use quadratic formula

$\hookrightarrow\sf x=\dfrac {1}{3}+\dfrac {1}{3}\sqrt {31} \quad or \quad \dfrac {1}{3}+\dfrac {-1}{3}\sqrt {31}$

Show that 2x +1 is a factor of 2x3 +5x2+4x+1 and factories completely

larisa [96]

$\text{According to the factor theorem, if f(b) = 0, then x-b is a factor of f(x).}\\\\\text{Given that,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\f\left(-\dfrac 12 \right) = 2\left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^3 +5 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^2 +4 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right) +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=-2 \cdot \dfrac 18 + 5 \cdot \dfrac 14 -2 +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 54 -\dfrac14 -1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 44 -1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=1-1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=0\\\\\text{So,}~ 2x +1 ~ \text{is a factor of f(x).}$

$\text{Now,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\~~~~~~=2x^3+x^2 +2x^2 +2x +2x+1\\\\~~~~~~=x^2(2x+1) +2x(2x+1) + (2x+1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x^2 +2x +1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x+1)^2$
