Answer:

Yes, I agree

Step-by-step explanation:

For the cubic function

A cubic function is represented as:

f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d

A cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3 x intercepts. This is shown below

For 3 x intercepts

y = x^3 - x

Equate y to 0

x^3 - x = 0

Expand

x(x^2 - 1) = 0

Express x^2 - 1 as difference of two squares

x(x - 1)(x +1 ) = 0

<em>x = 0 or 1 or -1</em>

For 2 x intercepts

y = x^3 - x

y  =(x-5)^2)(x+7)

Equate y to 0

(x-5)^2(x+7) = 0

Expand

(x-5)(x-5)(x+7) = 0

<em>x= 5 or x = -7</em>

For 1 x intercept

y = x^3

Equate y to 0

x^3 = 0

Take cube roots of both sides

x = 0

It has been shown above that a cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3.

So, I agree to the statement

For the quadratic function

A quadratic function will not have any x intercept when the function can not be factorized;

E.g.

y = x^2 + x + 17

<em>The above function has no x intercept.</em>

A quadratic function will have at least 1 x intercept when the function can be factorized;

E.g.

y = x^2- 6x + 9

Equate y to 0

x^2- 6x + 9 = 0

Expand

x^2 - 3x - 3x + 9 = 0

(x - 3)(x-3) = 0

x = 3

We've shown that a quadratic may have no x intercept, and it may also have x intercept(s)

Hence, I agree to both statement

Please help!!! If the first 4 terms of a geometric sequence are...
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

c.) aₙ = 5 × 4ⁿ⁻¹

Explanation:

Geometric sequence: aₙ = a(r)ⁿ⁻¹

where 'a' resembles first term of a sequence, 'r' is the common difference.

Here sequence: 5, 20, 80, 320,...

First term (a) = 5

Common difference (d) = second term ÷ first term = 20 ÷ 5 = 4

Hence putting into equation: aₙ = 5(4)ⁿ⁻¹
