A number subtracted from five is equal to negative ten
Check out the graph below. We see that (3,0) is a root or x intercept. More specifically, the graph only touches the x axis at this point, rather than cross over (in contrast to a root like (-2,0) ). We say that the root here is of multiplicity 2. The multiplicity is due to the exponent of 2 over the (x-3) factor.
You can also say that the graph is decreasing on the left side of (3,0) and then it bounces off the root x = 3 to increase afterward. In this region, the graph never goes below the x axis.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
for odd terms
first term=5
c.d.=8-5=3
odd terms are given by 5+3(n-1)=2+3n
for even terms
first term=10
c.d.=13-10=3
even terms are given by 10+3(n-1)=7+3n
