The first term, a, is 2. The common ratio, r, is 4. Thus,
a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).
Check: What's the first term? Let n=1. Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8. Is that correct? No.
Try this instead:
a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1). Is this correct? Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2? 2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2. YES.
The desired explicit formula is a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.
To get rid of

, you have to take the third root of both sides:
![\sqrt[3]{x^{3}} = \sqrt[3]{1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%5E%7B3%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B1%7D%20)
But that won't help you with understanding the problem. It is better to write

as a product of 2 polynomials:

From this we know, that

is the solution. Another solutions (complex roots) are the roots of quadratic equation.
5x^2-4x+1 + -3x^2+x-3= 2x^2-3x-2
Answer: The answer is B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$34
$26.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Membership cost per month = $25
Price of a slice of pizza for members= $1.50
How much would Aaliyah have
to pay the pizza shop if she bought 6 slices of pizza this month
Total cost of Aaliyah on 6 slices of pizza = membership cost per month + prices of 6 discounted pizza
= $25 + $1.50(6)
= $25 + $9
= $34
What would be the
monthly cost for a slices of pizza
Monthly cost of Aaliyah a slices of pizza = membership cost per month + price of 1 discounted pizza
= $25 + $1.5
= $26.5
