Answer:

106

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given sequence is,

2, 15, 48, 110, 210, ...

d = 15 - 2 = 13

d = 48 - 15 = 13

Therefore, the given sequence is an Arithmetic Progression.

Here, a = 2, d = 13, and n = 9

By using general term formula,

an = a + (n - 1)d

a9 = 2 + (9 - 1)13

a9 = 2 + 104

$\huge{\mathsf{\pink{\boxed{a_9 = 106}}}}$

Answer:

(y^2+3y-28)/(4y^2-15y-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

(4y-1)(y-3)(2y+3)(y+3)(y+7)(y-3)/(2y+3)(y-4)(4y+1)(4y-1)(y-3)(y+3)

= (y+7)(y-3)/(y-4)(4y+1)

= (y^2+3y-28)/(4y^2-15y-4)

Find the first five terms of the sequence given the following recursive formula:

forsale [732]

Answer:

The first five terms are;

-3,-7,11,-29,69

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive definition of the sequence is

$a_1=-3,$ , $a_2=-7$ and $a_n=a_{n-2}-2a_{n-1}$ .

When n=3, we obtain;

$a_3=a_{3-2}-2a_{3-1}$ .

$\implies a_3=a_{1}-2a_{2}$ .

$\implies a_3=-3-2(-7)$ .

$\implies a_3=11$ .

When n=4

$\implies a_4=a_{2}-2a_{3}$ .

$\implies a_4=-7-2(11)=-29$ .

When n=5

$\implies a_5=a_{3}-2a_{4}$ .

$\implies a_4=11-2(-29)=69$ .

Therefore the first five terms are;

-3,-7,11,-29,69
