<span>a1=3xy</span>^ 5

an= (2x/ y )a(n-1)

then

a2=(2x/ y )a(1)= (2x/ y )* 3xy^ 5=6(x^ 2)(y^ 4)

a2=6(x^ 2)(y^ 4)

a3=(2x/ y )a(2)= (2x/ y )* 6(x^ 2)(y^ 4)=12(x^ 3)(y^ 3)

a3=12(x^ 3)(y^ 3)

a4=(2x/ y )a(3)=(2x/ y )*12(x^ 3)(y^ 3)=24(x^ 4)(y^ 2)

 The answer is a4=24(x^ 4)(y^ 2)

Write a polynomial function f of least degree that has rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1 and the given zeros for
timama [110]
The general form of a polynomial is: x² + bx + c = 0. Substituting the roots,

3² + b(3) + c = 0
3b + c = -9 --> eqn 1

(5 + √5)² + (5 +√5)(b) + c = 0
(5+√5)b + c = -30-10√5 --> eqn 2

Solving both equations simultaneously by subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1,
(-2 - √5)b = 21 + 10√5
b = -8 - √5

Using eqn 1,
3(-8 - √5) + c = -9
-24 - 3√5 + c = -9
c = -9 + 24 + 3√5
c = 15 + 3√5

Hence, the polynomial is: <em>f(x) = x² + (-8 - √5)x + (15 + 3√5)</em>.

Kira will need 7 baskets. To find this you divide 255 by 38 to get 6.7.052632. Since you cannot split a basket you will need to round to the nearest whole number which is 7.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

First, this table is a function because it has no repeating input values

Second, it is increasing in both the x and y

third, since it is increasing in x and y it is a positive correlation( I dont know if you have learned that yet)

Fourth, the output increases by 4 each time the input increases by 1
