Answer:

5, 7, 11, 19, 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive formula and a₁ = 5 , then

a₂ = 2a₁ - 3 = (2 × 5) - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7

a₃ = 2a₂ - 3 = (2 × 7) - 3 = 14 - 3 = 11

a₄ = 2a₃ - 3 = (2 × 11) - 3 = 22 - 3 = 19

a₅ = 2a₄ - 3 = (2 × 19) - 3 = 38 - 3 = 35

Thus the first 5 terms are

5, 7, 11, 19, 35

Answer:

y = x³ + 2x² - 13x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = (x + 5)(x - 1)(x - 2) ← expand (x - 1)(x - 2)

  = (x + 5)(x² - 2x - x + 2)

  = (x + 5)(x² - 3x + 2)

Multiply each term in the second factor by each term in the first factor

= x(x² - 3x + 2) + 5(x² - 3x + 2) ← distribute both parenthesis

= x³ - 3x² + 2x + 5x² - 15x + 10 ← collect like terms

y = x³ + 2x² - 13x + 10

Answer:

The third option, -1/2(30) = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

If it decreases by 1/2, we know it has to be -1/2, and the days we are given are 30. We need to multiply -1/2 by 30 in order to find the water level after 30 days, which would be -15 (inches?) I hope this helped.
