Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
The minimum is at the vertex. This is at (1, -5)
The minimum value is -5
1: x² + 10x + 25
2: x² - x -12
3: -2x² + 10x
4: -2x² + 9x + 5
5: n² - 4
---------------------------
1: x² + 14x + 49
2: x² - 14x + 49
3: 4n² - 20n + 25
4: 4n² + 20n +25
5: you just have to switch the signs
I suggest you look at the work in the pictures I attached. It examplains how you work out the problem and what the answer is
Answer:
aₙ = 31n - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The terms of your sequence are.
26, 57, 88, …
This is an arithmetic sequence, because there is a constant difference of 31 between consecutive terms.
The explicit formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
aₙ = a₁ + d(n - 1 )
a₁ is the first term, and d is the difference in value between consecutive terms. Thus,
aₙ = 26 + 31(n - 1) = 26 + 31n - 31
aₙ = 31n - 5
The explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence is aₙ = 31n - 5.
