-10= 7X - 42
-10 + 42 = 7X
32 = 7X
X = 32/7
X = 4.57
First term (a1) is -1
recursive formula goes like this

is the nth term

is the term before that
we normally have

we see each term is multipying by -3 to get next one
so that would be

where a1=-1
the 3rd option is correct except that it is the explicit formula
so answer is 2nd one
Help the math of mine plz
Answer:
-14a^2b-42ab^2+56abc
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the FOIL method
multiply the first numbers
then inner
then outer
then last
Computing an integral by substitution is the reverse of the chain rule for computing the derivative. Substitution is intended to rewrite a complicated-looking integral involving the derivative of some component expression as another much simpler integral. For example, if
, then
and

###
Integration by parts is the reverse of the product rule for derivatives:

Integrating both sides with respect to
gives

Personally, I think the best way to grasp the idea behind the two methods is to practice. You start to notice patterns to the point where knowing which is the "right" method to use becomes second nature.
