Huh? Are you missing the something
Answer:
sum of the first 12 terms of the sequence. 1, -4, -9, -14, . . = -318
Step-by-step explanation:
The given AP is,
1, -4, -9, -14, . . .
first term a = 1,
common difference d = -4 - 1 = -5
number of terms n = 12
<u>Equation:</u>
Sum of n terms of AP, S₁₂ = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]
S₁₂ = 12/2[(2*1) + (12 - 1)*(-5)]
S₁₂ = 6[2 + (11*(-5))]
S₁₂ = 6[2 - 55] = 6*(-53) = -318
Therefore sum of the first 12 terms of the sequence. 1, -4, -9, -14, . . = -318
Answer:




Step-by-step explanation:
Function composition and transformation combines functions together using operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and substitution. To find each, perform the operation with the functions f(x) = 2x+1 and
.
(f+g)(x) is the functions f and g added together with 2 substituted for x.

(f·g)(x) is function composition that means f(g(x)) or substitute g(x) into f(x).

f(x) / g(x) is division of the two functions. Division can only occur with polynomials if they share the same factors or things which multiply to create them. If none are present, do not simplify.

This cannot be simplified.
f(2) + g(-2) means find the function value of f at 2 and the function value of g at -2 then add them together.

A formula is recursive if it expresses the term
in terms of the previous one(s) 
In this case, every term is 7 more than the previous one, so the formula for
will only involve
:

In fact, this formula is simply saying: for every index
, the term with that index is 7 more than the term before.
Also, we have to specify the starting point (otherwise we would go backwards indefinitely), so the complete recursive formula is

which means: start with 2 and generate every other term by adding 7 to the previous one.
