Oxana [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

aₙ= -2n²

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Solution 1:</u></h2>

The sequence:

  • -2, -8, -18, -32, -50

The difference between the terms:

  • -6, -10, -14, -18
  • a₁= -2
  • a₂= a₁ - 6 = a₁ - 2*3= a₁- 2*(2²-1)
  • a₃= a₂ - 10 = a₁ - 16= a₁ - 2*8= a₁ - 2*(3²-1)
  • a₄= a₃- 14= a₁ - 30= a₁ - 2*15= a₁ - 2*(4² -1)
  • ...
  • aₙ= a₁ -2*(n²-1)= -2 -2n² +2= -2n²

As per above, the nth term is: aₙ= -2n²

<h2><u /></h2><h2><u>Solution 2</u></h2>

The sequence:

  • -2, -8, -18, -32, -50
  • -2*1, -2*4, - 2*9, -2*25
  • -2*1², -2*2², -2*3², -2*4², -2*5², ..., -2*n²
  • aₙ= -2n²

Without solving determine the number of real solutions for each quadratic equation
snow_lady [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

b^2-4b+3=0

b²-3x-b+3=0

b(b-3)-1(b-3)=0

(b-3)(b-1)=0

either

b=3 or b=1

.

2n^2 + 7 = -4n + 5

2n²+4n+7-5=0

2n²+4n+2=0

2(n²+2n+1)=0

(n+1)²=0/2

:.n=-1

.

x - 3x^2 = 5+ 2x - x^2

0=5+ 2x - x^2-x +3x^2

0=5+x+2x²

2x²+x+5=0

comparing above equation with ax²+bx +c we get

a=2

b=1

c=5

x={-b±√(b²-4ac)}/2a ={-1±√(1²-4×2×5)}/2×1

={-1±√-39}/2
