Answer:

f(n) = 2n - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the recursive formula

f(n) = f(n - 1) + 2 with f(1) = 0, then

f(2) = f(1) + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2

f(3) = f(2) + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4

f(4) = f(3) + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

The terms of the sequence are 0, 2, 4, 6, ....

These are the first 4 terms of an arithmetic sequence with explicit formula

f(n) = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here d = 2 - 0 = 4 - 2 = 6 - 4 = 2 and a₁ = 0, thus

f(n) = 0 + 2(n - 1), that is

f(n) = 2n - 2 ← explicit formula

Divide x^3-3x^2-10x+24 by x-2
melisa1 [442]
You can do this using synthetic division, which is the easiest way.  If x - 2 = 0, then x = 2.  That 2 will go outside the "box" and the leading coefficients of the terms in the polynomial will go inside the "box".  2    (1   -3    -10    24).  Bring down the first number, the 1.  Multiply that 1 by the 2 to get 2.  Put that 2 up under the -3 and add to get -1.  Multiply that -1 by the 2 to get -2.  Put that =-2 up under the -10 and add to get -12.  Multiply that -12 by the 2 to get -24.  Put the -24 up under the 24 and add to get 0.  That means that x - 2 is a factor of the polynomial.  What's left, the bolded numbers, are the coefficients of a new polynomial that is one degree less than the polynomial you started with.  In other words, when we divide your polynomial by x-2, you get x^2-x-12.
