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

Find the GCF of each expression. Then factor the expression.
GaryK [48]
For finding GCF, just find the least number among them.
For example: 
a.) 6x^2 - 9 find what number that can be divided to 6. In this case, it is 2 and 3. 
You can't divide 9 by 2 so the answer in this equation would be 3.

b.) 2a^ 2 + 22a + 60 I's just the same method to use. In this case, we will use 2a^2. The factors that can be divided to 2 is (2,1). So we will choose 2 because it is the GCF of 2 and the equation is divisible by 2.
