How do you do recursive formulas

To write a recursive formula you need to: First, determine if the sequence is geometric(For example, If your multiply, or divide, the same amount for one term or more). Next, Find the common ratio(In other words the number that you multiply or divide). Finally, we make a recursive formula by stating the first term, and then stating the formula to be the common ratio times the previous term.

Hope This Helps!!!

$x^5 + x^4 - 7x^3 - 7x^2 -144x - 144 = 0 \\x^4(x+1)-7x^2(x+1)-144(x+1)=0\\(x^4-7x^2-144)(x+1)=0\\\\x+1=0\Rightarrow x=-1\\\\x^4-7x^2-144=0\\x^4-16x^2+9x^2-144=0\\x^2(x^2-16)+9(x^2-16)=0\\(x^2+9)(x^2-16)=0\\(x^2+9)(x-4)(x+4)=0\\\\x^2+9=0\vee x-4=0 \vee x+4=0\\x=4 \vee x=-4\\\\x\in\{-4,-1,4\}$

An airplane is loaded with cargo and ready to take off. Before it departs, an unknown number

Leto [7]

Answer:

b ≤ 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since no more than 400 pounds of b number of 8 pound boxes can be taken off to ensure that the plane is in balance, this can be represented by the inequality:

8b ≤ 400

b ≤ 400/8

b ≤ 50

This means that a maximum number of 50 8 pounds boxes can be taken off the plane for a 600 pound crate to be put on ensuring that the plane is in balance.

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry for the parabola y equals negative start fraction one over two end fraction left pa

Pachacha [2.7K]

For the equation,
y = 1/2(x+3)^2 -5
The vertice is (-3,-5). Therefore the axis of symmetry is X = -3.
