Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
a^6 + 4 a^5 + 5 a^4 - 5 a^2 - 4 a - 1
Discussion:
You may need to clean things up a bit but suppose that
S(1) = a-1
S(2) = a^2 -1
Since this is a geometric series, the geometric ratio is given by
S(2)/ S(1) = (a^2 -1)/ (a-1)
= (a+1)(a-1)/ (a-1)
= a+1
Conclusion:
S(2) = (a+1) S(1) = (a+1) (a-1)
S(3) = (a+1) S(2) = (a+1) (a+1) (a-1) = (a+1)^ (3-1) (a-1)
S(4) = (a+1) S(3) = (a+1) * (a+1)^2 (a-1) ) = (a+1)^(4-1) (a-1)
in general.....
S(n) = (a+1)^ (n-1) (a-1)
So
S(6) = (a+1)^ (6-1) (a-1)
= (a-1) (a+1) ^ 5
= a^6 + 4 a^5 + 5 a^4 - 5 a^2 - 4 a - 1
Hope I didn't screw something here!
Thank you,
MrB
It is 1 and 1\2 oranges hope this helps!!
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume that you need the new coordinates of the point after the rotation centered at the origin.
For this exercise it is important to remember the definition of "Rotation".
A Rotation is defined as a transformation which a figure is rotated about a fixed point known as "Center of rotation".
The figure before the transformation is called Pre-Image and the figure obtained after the transformation is called "Image".
The 180 degree rotation about the origin Rule states that:
→ 
Therefore, knowing that the given point (5,4) is rotated 180 degrees clockwise about the origin, you can conclude that its Image is:
