Answer:

Felipe is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the difference between consecutive terms is constant, that is

16 - 24 = 8 - 16 = 0 - 8 = - 8

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is

f(n) = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 24 and d = - 8, thus

f(n) = 24 - 8(n - 1) = 24 - 8n + 8 = 32 - 8n ← Felipe's answer

Simplify.<br> (2x2 - 5x + 3) - (-x2 + 4x - 5)

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Simplify.

(2x2 - 5x + 3) - (-x2 + 4x - 5)

the answer is -7x +12

Step-by-step explanation:

the question can be solved using BODMAS law

from Simplify.

(2x2 - 5x + 3) - (-x2 + 4x - 5)

opening the bracket

4-5x + 3 + 2x - 4x + 5

collecting the like terms we have;

12-7x

therfore ; -7x + 12

Express the recurring decimal 1.52 as an improper fraction

ElenaW [278]

(152÷4)(100÷4) = 3825 when reduced to the simplest form. As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 152100 is also equal to 11325 when expressed as a mixed number.
