Answer:  

T he two polygons have 8 sides and 5 sides.  

Step-by-step explanation:

A purely algebraic solution seems as if it would be very messy. Use trial and error, along with the formula for the number of diagonals in a n-sided polygon.

number of diagonals in a polygon with n sides: n(n-3)/2

10 sides and 3 sides: 10(7)/2 + 3(0)/2 = 35+0 = 35 nope....

9 sides and 4 sides: 9(6)/2 + 4(1)/2 = 27+2 = 29 nope....

8 sides and 5 sides: 8(5)/2 + 5(2)/2 = 20+5 = 25 yep!

Write the recursive rule and the iterative rule for the following sequence: 10, 6, 2, -2, -6
barxatty [35]
The recursive rule is
a_n=a_{n-1}+(-4). 
The iterative rule is
a_n=14-4n

The recursive rule is given by the formula 
a_n=a_{n-1}+d, where d is the common difference.  Our common difference is -4, which gives us the recursive rule above.

The iterative rule begins with the formula
a_n=a_1+d(n-1), where a₁ is the first term and d is the common difference.  Our first term is 10 and our common difference is -4:
a_n=10+(-4)(n-1)&#10;\\\text{Using the Distributive Property,}&#10;\\&#10;\\a_n=10+(-4*n)+(-4*-1)&#10;\\&#10;\\a_n=10-4n+4&#10;\\&#10;\\\text{Combining like terms,}&#10;\\&#10;\\a_n=14-4n
