Answer:

4(3x - 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both terms of the original are divisible by 4. Once we factor it out, divide the original terms by 4 to find what to put in the parentheses.

12x ÷4 = 3x

-40 ÷4 = -10 Put 3x -10 in parentheses

4(3x – 10)

the graph shows the first five terms in a geometric sequence what is the iterative rule for the sequence

algol [13]

The iterative rule for the sequence is a_n = 8 · ( 0.5 )ⁿ ⁻ ¹

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Firstly , let us learn about types of sequence in mathematics.

Arithmetic Progression is a sequence of numbers in which each of adjacent numbers have a constant difference.

$\boxed{T_n = a + (n-1)d}$

$\boxed{S_n = \frac{1}{2}n ( 2a + (n-1)d )}$

<em>Tn = n-th term of the sequence</em>

<em>Sn = sum of the first n numbers of the sequence</em>

<em>a = the initial term of the sequence</em>

<em>d = common difference between adjacent numbers</em>

Geometric Progression is a sequence of numbers in which each of adjacent numbers have a constant ration.

$\boxed{T_n = a ~ r^{n-1}}$

$\boxed{S_n = \frac{a( 1 - r^n ) }{1 - r}}$

<em>Tn = n-th term of the sequence</em>

<em>Sn = sum of the first n numbers of the sequence</em>

<em>a = the initial term of the sequence</em>

<em>r = common ratio between adjacent numbers</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

a₁ = 8

a₂ = 4

a₃ = 2

a₄ = 1

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we find the ratio by following formula:</em>

$r = a_2 \div a_1 = 4 \div 8 = 0.5$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>The iterative rule for the sequence:</em>

$a_n = a_1 \cdot~ r^{n-1}$

$a_n = 8 \cdot~ (0.5)^{n-1}$

$\texttt{ }$
