Answer:
![9c^3 - 12c^2 - 18c - 24= [3c^2 - 6][3c - 4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=9c%5E3%20-%2012c%5E2%20-%2018c%20-%2024%3D%20%5B3c%5E2%20-%206%5D%5B3c%20-%204%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required
Factor
Group into 2
![[9c^3 - 12c^2] - [18c + 24]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B9c%5E3%20-%2012c%5E2%5D%20-%20%5B18c%20%2B%2024%5D)
Factorize each group
![3c^2[3c - 4] - 6[3c - 4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3c%5E2%5B3c%20-%204%5D%20-%206%5B3c%20-%204%5D)
Factor out 3c - 4
![[3c^2 - 6][3c - 4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B3c%5E2%20-%206%5D%5B3c%20-%204%5D)
Hence:
![9c^3 - 12c^2 - 18c - 24= [3c^2 - 6][3c - 4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=9c%5E3%20-%2012c%5E2%20-%2018c%20-%2024%3D%20%5B3c%5E2%20-%206%5D%5B3c%20-%204%5D)
If you mean 3 more terms in the sequence they could be
64, 32, 16, 8 ...
If you mean any 3 terms then 4096 1024 and 256 qualify.
the answer is negative two over zero
Using f(x) = y, we know that a graph of the function contains the (x,y) points (2,5) and (6,-1). first find the slope of that line,
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) ⇒ -6/4⇒-3/2
then using either point (I'll use the first one) solve for b in y = mx + b.
5 = (-3/2)(2) + b⇒ 5 = -3 + b⇒ 8 = b.
So y = (-3/2)x + 8 ⇒ f(x) = (-3/2)x + 8.
