What is the explicit formula for this sequence?

Mathematics

<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

With the recursive formula, lets build the sequence:

A1 = 4

A2 = A1 - 7

A3 = A2 - 7

A4 = A3 - 7

A5 = A4 - 7

(...)

But pay attention to A3....

A3 = A2 - 7   but  A2 = A1 - 7 , so rewriting A3

A3 = (A1 - 7) - 7 ⇒ A3 = A1 + 2.(- 7)

A4 = A3 - 7 ⇒ A4 = [(A1 - 7) - 7] - 7 = A1 + 3.(- 7)

A5 =  {[(A1 - 7) - 7] - 7} - 7 = A5 + 4.(- 7)  

so

<h3>An = A1 + (n - 1).(- 7)</h3>

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation.–x2 + 5x = 3
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Given the equation - x² + 5x = 3, which can be rewritten as:

- x² + 5x - 3 = 0

where a = -1, b = 5 and c = -3.

Quadratic formula:

\frac{-b\text{ }\pm\text{ }\sqrt[]{b^2\text{ - 4ac}}}{2a}

Now, we just replace the values of a, b and c on the equation above.

\frac{-5\text{ }\pm\text{ }\sqrt[]{5^2\text{ - 4(-1)(3)}}}{2(-1)}

=

\frac{5}{2}\text{ }\pm\text{ }\frac{\sqrt[]{13}}{2}
