Answer:
If these are addition:
1) 7
2) 3
3) 1
4) -3
5) 0
6) -5
If they are subtraction:
1) 9
2) 9
3) -7
4) 7
5) -4
6) 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Difference is subtraction, but your examples (7 and -3 = 10) implies that these are addition problems. Next time please set them up in a mathematical form.
This is how the problems would be set up:
Addition:
1) 8+(-1)= 7
2)6+(-3)= 3
3)-3+4= 1
4)2+(-5)= -3
4)-2+(-2)= 0
6)-1+(-4)= -5
Subtraction:
1) 8-(-1)= 9
2)6-(-3)= 9
3)-3-4=- 7
4)2-(-5)= 7
4)-2-(-2)= -4
6)-1-(-4)= 3
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's write out our equation:

I want to isolate x on one side, so first, I'll add 4 to both sides to remove the -4 from next to 2x:

Notice that I combined like terms with the -4 and 4 (to get 0) and the 6 and 4 on the right side (to get 10). Next, I'll add 3x to both sides:

And then I'll add like terms:

Now, all we have to do is divide both sides by 5:

And there's our answer. Hopefully that's helpful! :)
There is no common ratio or common difference. The first three terms increases more slowly than a cubic, but the last three increase more quickly than the cube of n. The pattern is not obvious to me. When the sequence is cast in recursive terms, you get
... a[n] = (48/13)a[n-2] + (59/39)a[n-1] . . . . a[1] = 2, a[2] = 9
The next term using this rule is 174 34/39, not an integer.
The coefficients p and q for a[n-2] and a[n-1] can be found from

Any sequence of 4 numbers can be matched by a polynomial of degree 3 or less. Here, a calculator's polynomial regression function tells us the rule could be
... a[n] = 4.5n³ -24.5n² +49n -27
Using this rule, the next two terms are 168 and 357.
Answer:
Option D: g = 7 and h = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The polynomial is;
8x² – 8x + 2 – 5 + x
Simplifying this gives;
8x² - 7x - 3
If this is simplified to 8x² – gx – h
Thus, by comparison of terms;
– gx = - 7x
-x will cancel out to get;
g = 7
Similarly, - h = - 3
Thus,h = 3
Therefore; g = 7 and h = 3
