Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

a_1=2

a_n=a_{n-1}-3 for for  [tex]n\geq2

We have to prove that a_n=-3n+5 for all n equal and greater than 1

proof: Let P(n)=a_n=-3n+5 for all n equals to and greater than 1

We prove that for all n there exists Z,if n greater and equals to zero

Base case : The base case is n=1

Substitute n=1 then we get

P(1)=-3(1)+5=2

This is true for n=1

Induction step : suppose that P(n) is true for n=k where k greater than 1

Then P(k)=-3k+5

Now, we shall prove that for n=k+1, P(n) is true for n=k+1

P(k+1)=-3(k+1)+5

P(k+1)=-3k-3+5=-3k+5-3

P(k+1)=a_k-3

a_{k+1}=a_k-3

We are given that a_n=a_{n-1}-3 for n equal to and greater than 2

Therefore, P(n) is true for n=k+1

Hence, P(n)=-3n+5 for all n equal and greater than 1

Given
f(x)= -3x - 5
g(x)= 4x - 2

Find
(f - g)(x)
substitute the f and g values in (f - g)

(f - g)(x)= -3x - 5 - (4x - 2)
change the signs in parentheses because there is a negative sign in front of the parentheses

(f - g)(x)= -3x - 5 - 4x + 2
combine like terms

(f - g)(x)= -7x - 3


ANSWER: (f - g)(x)= -7x - 3

Hope this helps! :)

Create an equation that represents a parabola that opens upward
algol13

For a parabola that opens upward, it must be a quadratic equation whose coefficient of x2 is a positive number.

So, I'll say x2+5x+6.

Given that (6 3) is on the graph of f(x) find the corresponding point for the function f(-1/2x)
Vlada [557]
\bf \begin{array}{rllll}
(6&,&3)&f(x)\\
x&&y\\\\
(-\frac{1}{2}x&,&3)&f(-\frac{1}{2}x)\\\\
(-\frac{1}{2}\cdot 6&,&3)\\\\
(-3&,&3)
\end{array}

keep in mind that, a negative coefficient to "x", will make the graph reflect over the y-axis.
