Answer:

a=3 and b=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that five  terms of a quadratic sequence are

1 8, 21, 40, 65.

The nth term of this sequence

=an^2+bn

We have to find the value of a and b where a and b are integers.

For n=1

a+b=1   ......(1)

For n=2

(2)^2a+2b=8

4a+2b=8

2a+b=4   .....(2)

Subtract equation (1) from (2) we get

2a-a=4-1=3

a=3

Using the value of a=3 in equation (1)

3+b=1

b=1-3=-2

Hence, the value of

a=3 and b=-2

Reduce to simplest form.<br> -7/12 + 3/8<br> (They are fractions)
denpristay [2]

Answer:

-5/24

Step-by-step explanation:

You first change -7/12 to -14/24, and 3/8 to 9/24 so they have the same denominator. You then do -14/24 + 9/24. That will be the same as the opposite of the answer to 14/24 - 9/24.

14/24 - 9/24 = 5/24

-5/24
