Answer:
a) The arithmetic sequence with common difference 2 that has 8 as the first term.
b) The arithmetic sequence of common difference -5 and first term 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use for example the arithmetic sequence with common difference 2 that has 8 as the first term. Then the first two terms of this sequence are:
8, and (8+2) = 10 Therefore the second term is 10.
Another arithmetic sequence of common difference -5 and first term 15. The firs two terms of this sequence are:
15, and (15 - 5) = 10. Therefore again a 10 as second term.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-15 times -5 = 75
-15 + -5 = -20
<span>x + 9 = 2(x - 1)^2
x + 9 = 2(x^2 - 2x + 1)
x + 9 = 2x^2 - 4x + 2
</span>2x^2 - 4x + 2 - x - 9 = 0
2x^2 - 5x -7 =0
