Answer:

The first one is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's an arithmetic sequence. It has a common difference.

d = an - a_n-1

an = -12x + 12

a_n-1 = - 7x + 8

d = -12x + 12 - (-7x + 8)

d = -12x + 12 + 7x - 8

d = -5x + 4

Try  it. Let's try for the third term

-12x + 12 - 5x + 4

- 17x + 15 which is exactly what the third term is.

Any 5 <br>algebraic formulas
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

a2 – b2 = (a – b)(a + b)

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

a2 + b2 = (a + b)2 – 2ab

(a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2

(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca

(a – b – c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 – 2ab + 2bc – 2ca

(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3 ; (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b)

(a – b)3 = a3 – 3a2b + 3ab2 – b3 = a3 – b3 – 3ab(a – b)

a3 – b3 = (a – b)(a2 + ab + b2)

a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 – ab + b2)

(a + b)4 = a4 + 4a3b + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4

(a – b)4 = a4 – 4a3b + 6a2b2 – 4ab3 + b4

a4 – b4 = (a – b)(a + b)(a2 + b2)

a5 – b5 = (a – b)(a4 + a3b + a2b2 + ab3 + b4
