Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term ( explicit formula ) of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₁₂ = - 95 and a₃₇ = - 270 , then
a₁ + 11d = - 95 → (1)
a₁ + 36d = - 270 → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁
25d = - 175 ( divide both sides by 25 )
d = - 7
Substitute d = - 7 into (1) and solve for a₁
a₁ + 11(- 7) = - 95
a₁ - 77 = - 95 ( add 77 to both sides )
a₁ = - 18 , thus
= - 18 - 7(n - 1) = - 18 - 7n + 7 = - 7n - 11
= - 7n - 11 ← explicit formula
--------------------------------------------------------------
The recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found by adding the common difference d to the previous term, thus
=
- 7 with a₁ = - 18 ← recursive formula
Answer:
The zeros of the function are;
x = 0 and x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeroes of the function simply imply that we find the values of x for which the corresponding value of y is 0.
We let y be 0 in the given equation;
y = x^3 - 2x^2 + x
x^3 - 2x^2 + x = 0
We factor out x since x appears in each term on the Left Hand Side;
x ( x^2 - 2x + 1) = 0
This implies that either;
x = 0 or
x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0
We can factorize the equation on the Left Hand Side by determining two numbers whose product is 1 and whose sum is -2. The two numbers by trial and error are found to be -1 and -1. We then replace the middle term by these two numbers;
x^2 -x -x +1 = 0
x(x-1) -1(x-1) = 0
(x-1)(x-1) = 0
x-1 = 0
x = 1
Therefore, the zeros of the function are;
x = 0 and x = 1
The graph of the function is as shown in the attachment below;
