The arithmetic sequence with the given condition is determined recursively by

\begin{cases}a_1=5\\a_n=a_{n-1}+3&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}

So we have

a_2=a_1+3

a_3=a_2+3=a_1+3(2)

a_4=a_3+3=a_1+3(3)

and so on with the general pattern

a_n=a_1+3(n-1)

This means the 72nd term in the sequence is

a_{72}=a_1+3(72-1)=5+3(71)=218

so the answer is B.

Find the area of the shape above ?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Area of triangle = <em>A(t) </em>= 1/2(base x height)

Area of square = <em>A(s) = </em>base x height

<em>A(s) </em>= 2 x 2 = 4

<em>2(A(s))</em> = 2(1/2(2)(2) = 2(1/2(4)) = 2(2) = 4

Add the two areas together

4 + 4 = 8

8 units² is your answer

Factor the polynomial F(x) =x^3-x^2-4x+4 completely.
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

PART 1:

Possible roots by noticing the coefficient of first term:

x = 1, -1

PART 2:

1 | 1  -1  -4   4

 <u>      1   0  -4</u>

   1   0  -4  0

The remainder is zero, hence one factor is (x-1)

PART 3:

x^3-x^2-4x+4=(x^2-4)(x-1)\\\\x^3-x^2-4x+4=(x+2)(x-2)(x-1)

PART 4:

f(x)=(x+2)(x-2)(x-1)\\\\=(x^2-4)(x-1)\\\\=x^3-4x-x^2+4\\\\=x^3-x^2-4x+4
