x
=
−
2
,
y
=
−
4
Explanation:
Right now, you have:
4
x
−
y
=
−
4

5
x
+
2
y
=
−
18
To make this easier, you must get rid of one variable, in this case I will remove
y
, to do this you must make the y-values in both equations the same.
To do this, I will multiply the whole of
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
by 2 to give
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
We now have:
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8

5
z
+
2
y
=
−
18
All we need to do now is
(
8
x
−
2
y
+
5
x
+
2
y
)
=
(
−
18
−
8
)
≡
13
x
=
−
26
.
Divide both sides by 13 to find
x
:
13
x
=
−
26

13
x
13
=
−
26
13

x
=
−
2
Now put your value for
x
into either equation:
4
(
−
2
)
−
y
=
−
4

−
8
−
y
=
−
4

y
=
−
8
+
4

y
=
−
4
x
=
−
2
;
y
=
−
4

Find the first four terms of the sequence using the recursive formula. ​
frozen [14]

Answer:

- 3, - 11, - 35, - 107

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive formula with f(1) = - 3 , then

f(2) = - 2 + 3f(1) = - 2 + 3(- 3) = - 2 - 9 = - 11

f(3) = - 2 + 3f(2) = - 2 + 3(- 11) = - 2 - 33 = - 35

f(4) = - 2 + 3f(3) = - 2 + 3(- 35) = - 2 - 105 = - 107

Thus the first four terms are

- 3, - 11, - 35, - 107
