For this case we first define the variable:
x = number of terms.
The equation that models the problem is:
f (x) = 3.4 - 0.6x
We have then that the first four terms are:
x = 1
f (1) = 3.4 - 0.6 (1) = 3.4 - 0.6 = 2.8
x = 2
f (2) = 3.4 - 0.6 (2) = 3.4 - 1.2 = 2.2
x = 3
f (3) = 3.4 - 0.6 (3) = 3.4 - 1.8 = 1.6
x = 4
f (4) = 3.4 - 0.6 (4) = 3.4 - 2.4 = 1
Answer:
The rule for the sequence is:
f (x) = 3.4 - 0.6x

Write an equation for the polynomial graphed below

Anit [1.1K]

The expression for the polynomial graphed will be y(x) = (x + 3)(x - 1 )(x - 4 ).

<h3>How to factor the polynomial?</h3>

From the graph, the zeros of the polynomial of given graph are:

x = -3

x = 1

x = 4

Equate the above equations to zero

x + 3 = 0

x - 1 = 0

x - 4 = 0

Multiply the equations

(x + 3)(x - 1 )(x - 4 ) = 0

Express as a function gives;

y = (x + 3)(x - 1 )(x - 4 )

Hence, the factored form of the polynomial will be y = (x + 3)(x - 1 )(x - 4 ) .
