Answer:

  a[n] = n^2 -3n -6

Step-by-step explanation:

First differences are ...

  -8 -(-8) = 0

  -6 -(-8) = 2

  -2 -(-6) = 4

Second differences are ...

  2 -0 = 2

  4 -2 = 2

Constant second differences indicate a degree 2 (quadratic) sequence.

The general formulation can be written as ...

  an = a1 +(n -1)(d1 +(n -2)/2(d2)) . . . . where a1 is the first term; d1 is the first first difference; d2 is the second difference

  = -8 +(n -1)(0 +(n -2)/2(2)) = -8 +(n -1)(n -2)

  an = n^2 -3n -6 . . . . . formula for the n-th term

What is (4a²)³÷8a²? can you please answer in normal number form (not like 3²)
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

8a^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! (4a^2)^3=4\cdot4\cdot4\cdot a^2\cdot a^2\cdot a^2=64a^6because if you multiply numbers with exponents you add the exponents.

Now we've got\frac{64a^6}{8a^2}=8a^4.

Sadly it has to be in exponential form. You can substitute a into the equation if you know a.

Help please..! I need the answer to this thank you.
torisob [31]

1. The additive identity is 0. This is because adding 0 to anything leads to the same value. Example: 0+3 = 3.

2. An equation is where you have two expressions separated by an equal sign. In your case it would be "a mathematical sentence whose verb is 'equal' (=)"

3. The multiplicative identity is 1. Multiply 1 with any number and the result is that same number. Example: 1*7 = 7.

4. An open sentence is an equation that contains one or more variables. An example would be x+2 = 4. The reason why we call it open is because the true or false nature of the sentence is up in the air until we know what x is. If we knew that x = 3 for instance, then x+2 = 4 would be false since 3+2 = 4 is false. If we nailed down what x was then it would go from open to closed.

5. The symmetric property is that if a = b then b = a. Think of a mirror how the image reverses.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: Option D. y+2x=3


Solution

If a line with a slope of -2:

Slope: m=-2

crosses the y-axis at (0,3):

(0,3)=(0,b)→b=3

What is the equation of the line?

y=mx+b

Replacing the known values:

y=-2x+3

Adding 2x both sides of the equation:

y+2x=-2x+3+2x

y+2x=3
