Answer:

The second option is the correct answer

The sequence is : 0, -1, -6, -31, -156

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,  

The recursive formula , an = 5a(n-1) - 1 and a1 = 0

<u>To find a2, a3, a4, a5 </u>

a2 = 5a1 -1 = 5x0 - 1 = -1

a3 = 5a2 - 1 = (5x -1 ) - 1 = - 5 - 1 = -6

a4 = 5a3 - 1 =(5x -6) - 1 = -30 - 1= -31

a5 = 5a4 - 1 = (5 x -31 ) - 1 = -155 -1 = -156

Therefore the resulting sequence is

0, -1, -6, -31 ,-156

What are the solutions of the equation x4 + 95x2 – 500 = 0? Use factoring to solve. x = plus-or-minus StartRoot 5 EndRoot and x
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

<em>* x ⇒ plus-or-minus StartRoot 5 EndRoot and ±10i *</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Through factorization;

x^4 + 95x^2 – 500 = 0, ⇒ <em>u^2 ⇒ x^2</em>,

u^2 + 95u - 500 = 0, ⇒<em> factors of -500; -25, 20, -50 * 10, -2 * 250, -5 * 100...</em>

( u )^2 + ( - 5 + 100 ) + ( - 5 * 100 ) = 0,

( u - 5 )( u + 100 ) = 0,

<em>u = 5, and y = - 100</em>

Substitute u back into format x^2;

u = x^2, 5 = x^2, | x | = √5 ⇒ <em>x = - / + √5,</em>

u = x^2, - 100 = x^2, | x | = √- 100 ⇒ <em>x = - / + 10i</em>

<em>* Answer: x ⇒ plus-or-minus StartRoot 5 EndRoot and ±10i *</em>

Multiply 100 pounds by 5%: 100 x 0.05 = 5 pounds.

Subtract that from the original weight:
