Answer:
1. x^4 -x^3 -4x^2 -3
a1 = -7.4
an = an-1 -13.8 (choice 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^4 -x^2 +9
g(x) = x^3 +3x^2 +12
We are subtracting
f(x) -g(x) =x^4 -x^2 +9 - ( x^3 +3x^2 +12)
Distribute the minus sign
x^4 -x^2 +9 - x^3 -3x^2 -12
I like to line them up vertically
x^4 -x^2 +9
- x^3 -3x^2 -12
-------------------------
x^4 -x^3 -4x^2 -3
2. a1 = -7.4
To find the common difference, take term 2 and subtract term 1
-21.2 - (-7.4)
-21.2 + 7.4
-13.8
an = an-1 -13.8
Answer:
6.45 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
He starts 17 and 1/2 feet off the ground
Elevation relative to ground: 17 1/2
Then he increases the height by 4 and 3/4
Expression: 17 1/2 +4 3/4
Elevation relative to ground: 22 1/4
Next he decreases the elevation by 15.8 feet
Expression: 22.25-15.8
Elevation relative to ground: 6.45
The answer 6.45 feet from the ground

There are 3 answers: Choice A, Choice D, Choice F</h3>
Explanation:
2 & 1/2 = 2.5
10 + (-2.5) can be represented by starting with 10 and then dropping by 2.5, which is what choice A is saying
or we can start with -2.5 and add on 10. This works because we can add numbers in any order, example: 2+3 = 3+2 = 5. So starting with -2.5 and adding on 10 is represented by choice D's and choice F's examples
