Check the forward differences of the sequence.
If
, then let
be the sequence of first-order differences of
. That is, for n ≥ 1,

so that
.
Let
be the sequence of differences of
,

and we see that this is a constant sequence,
. In other words,
is an arithmetic sequence with common difference between terms of 2. That is,

and we can solve for
in terms of
:



and so on down to

We solve for
in the same way.

Then



and so on down to


Answer:
-11, f(-5) 1
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
Answer: 1260</h3>
Work Shown:
We have 9 sides of this polygon. See the diagram below. So n = 9
Plug that into the formula below to find the sum of the interior angles
S = 180(n-2)
S = 180(9-2)
S = 180*7
S = 1260
