Answer: 12x^3 + 19x^2 -27x -40

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding f(x) times g(x) is multiply the two polynomials

(4x+5)(3x^2 + 1x -8) Apply the distributive property twice to solve

4x ( 3x^2 + 1x -8)

12x^3 + 4x^2 - 32x

5(3x^2 + 1x -8)

15x^2 + 5x - 40

12x^3 + 4x^2 - 32x + 15x^2 + 5x -40 now combine like terms

12x^3 + 19x^2 -27x -40

Express the terms of the following sequence by giving a recursive formula.

emmasim [6.3K]

The recursive formula for given sequence is: $a_n = a_{n-1}-7$

And the terms will be expressed as:

$a_1 = 11\\a_2 = a_{2-1} - 7 \\a_2= a_1 - 7\\a_2 = 11- 7\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = a_{3-1} - 7 \\a_3= a_2 - 7\\a_3 = 4 - 7\\a_3 = -3\\a_4 = a_{4-1} - 7 \\a_4= a_3 - 7\\ a_4= -3 - 7\\a_4 = -10\\a_5 = a_{5-1} - 7 \\a_5= a_4 - 7\\a_5 = -10 - 7\\a_5 = -17\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we have to determine if the given sequence is arithmetic sequence or geometric. For that purpose, we calculate the common difference and common ratio

Given sequence is:

11,4,-3,-10,-17...

Here

$a_1 = 11\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = -3\\So,\\d = a_2 - a_1 = 4-11 = -7\\d = a_3-a_2 = -3-4 = -7$

As the common difference is same, given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

A recursive formula is a formula that is used to generate the next term of the sequence using the previous term and common difference

So, the recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_{n-1} +d\\Putting\ d = -7\\a_n = a_{n-1}-7$

Hence,

The recursive formula for given sequence is: $a_n = a_{n-1}-7$

And the terms will be expressed as:

A) Let f(x) = 4x + 2 and g(x) = 2x^2-4. Find the formula for the composition function gof

ollegr [7]

Answer:

g o f = $g(f(x)) = 32x^2 + 32x + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = 4x +2$

$g(x) =2x^2 - 4$

Required:

Find g o f

This is calculated as:

$gof = g(f(x))$

$g(x) =2x^2 - 4$

So:

$g(f(x)) = 2(4x+2)^2 - 4$

$g(f(x)) = 2(4x+2)(4x+2) - 4$

$g(f(x)) = 2[ 16x^2 + 16x + 4)] - 4$

$g(f(x)) = 32x^2 + 32x + 8 - 4$

$g(f(x)) = 32x^2 + 32x + 4$

What is the value of X?

katovenus [111]

Answer:

The horizontal value in a pair of coordinates: how far along the point is. The X Coordinate is always written first in an ordered pair of coordinates (x,y), such as (12,5). In this example, the value "12" is the X Coordinate. Also called "Abscissa"

The answer is D. Think of the Pythagorean Theorem which states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2. The Pythagorean Identities used in trigonometry are the angle version which can be used to simplify expressions.
