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 (2x + 7) • (x2 - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
please give me brainlest!!
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
1.1 Factoring: x2-2
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 2 is not a square !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares.
Final result :
(2x + 7) • (x2 - 2)
Answer:
4/10= 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
(3 + 2i) + (-4 + 6i)
Get rid of the parenthesis.
3 + 2i - 4 + 6i
Note how we got rid of the (+) sign in +(-4). We do this because a negative times a positive is always going to be a negative.
Combine like terms.
(2i + 6i) + (3 - 4)
Simplify.
8i - 1
~Hope I helped!~
