Answer:
A. A(n) = 150 • (0.74)^n–1 ; 33.29 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a geometric sequence.
a%5B1%5D=1.5m=150cm, r=0.74
The formula is
a%5Bn%5D=a%5B1%5Dr%5E%28n-1%29
Just substitute a1 = 150cm and r = 0.74
a%5Bn%5D=150%280.74%29%5E%28n-1%29
That's the rule.
For the second part, substitute n = 6
cm.
Answer:
f(x) = x^3 - x^2 -2x
Step-by-step explanation:
If x = a is a zero of a polynomial, then x-a is a factor of the polynomial. Given the factors of a polynomial, the polynomial can be obtained by multiplying the factors.
The factors of the given polynomial are;
x - 2
x + 1
x
Multiplying the first two factors;
(x-2)(x+1) = x^2 + x -2x -2
= x^2 -x -2
We finally multiply this result by x to obtain our polynomial;
f(x) = x ( x^2 -x -2)
= x^3 - x^2 -2x
which is a cubic polynomial since it has 3 roots.
I-1 is the polynomials because I is the linear term and 1 is the constant
