10 • 4 = _ • 5
10•4=40
40/5=8
We have

so this is indeed a difference of squares. Factorizing would give

making the answer D.
We can further factor the first term here and write

but that's clearly out of the scope of this question.
To solve for E you'll add 867 to 108.
E - 867 = 108
E = 108 + 867
E = 975
Hope this helps :)
f(3) is equal to -101.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
- The sequence is followed by f(0)=4
- The given expression is f(n+1)= -3f(n)+1
Put n=0,
f(0+1)= -3f(0)+1
f(1)= -3(4)+1
f(1)= -12+1 = -11
Put n=1,
f(1+1)= -3f(1)+1
f(2)= -3(-11)+1
f(2)= 33+1 = 34
Put n=2,
f(2+1)= -3f(2)+1
f(3)= -3(34)+1
f(3)= -102+1
f(3)= -101
