Answer:

The answer to your question is 2i

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt[4]{-16}$

- Get the prime factors of -16

- 16 2

- 8 2

- 4 2

- 2 2

16 = 2⁴

- Express the -16 as a power

$\sqrt[4]{-2^{4}} or \sqrt[4]{2^{4}i^{2}}$

Remember that -1 = i²

- Get the fourth root of -16

F(n)=5.(-2)n-1 Complete the recursive formula of f(n).

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

a(n) = $(-2)(a_{n-1})$

$a_{1}=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is in the form of the explicit formula of a geometric sequence.

f(n) = $a(r)^{n-1}$

Where 'a' = First term of the sequence

r = common ratio

Recursive formula of a geometric sequence is,

a(n) = $(a_{n-1}).(r)^{n-1}$

a(n) = $(-2)(a_{n-1})$

Where, $a_{1}=5$

So the recursive formula will be a(n) = $(-2)(a_{n-1})$

x2y - 2xy - 24y = y(x2 - 2x - 24) What is the completely factored form of x2y – 2xy – 24y? (xy + 4)(x – 6) xy(x + 4)(x – 6) y(x

likoan [24]

we are given

$x^2y-2xy-24y=y(x^2-2x-24)$

now, we can factor out right side term

$x^2-2x-24=x^2-6x+4x-6*4$

$x^2-2x-24=(x-6)(x+4)$

now, we can plug back

and we get

so,

$x^2y-2xy-24y=y(x-6)(x+4)$ .............Answer
