Explanation:

Given:

x

2

+

10

x

+

16

=

0

To complete the square put the two

x

terms on the left and the constant on the right of the equation:

x

2

+

10

x

=

−

16

Complete the square by multiplying the

x

-term by

1

2

:

1

2

⋅

10

=

5

and adding the square of this number to the right side of the equation:

2

=

25

(

x

)

2

UNDERSTANDING CHECK:

(

)

=

+

10

x

+

25

.

The

+

25

was not in the original equation. If we add

+

25

to one side of the equation, we must add the same amount to the other side of the equation to keep it balanced.

(

x

+

5

)

2

=

9

To solve, square root both sides of the equation:

√

(

x

A recursive rule for a geometric sequence is a1=49;an=3an−1 . What is the explicit rule for this sequence?
Nostrana [21]
The explicit rule for the geometric sequence is in the form,

              an = (a1)^(r -1)

where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term, and r is the common ratio. Substituting the known terms from the given above, we arrive to the explicit form of the sequence which is,

            an = 49^(3 - 1)
