Answer:
1. x^4 -x^3 -4x^2 -3
a1 = -7.4
an = an-1 -13.8 (choice 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^4 -x^2 +9
g(x) = x^3 +3x^2 +12
We are subtracting
f(x) -g(x) =x^4 -x^2 +9 - ( x^3 +3x^2 +12)
Distribute the minus sign
x^4 -x^2 +9 - x^3 -3x^2 -12
I like to line them up vertically
x^4 -x^2 +9
- x^3 -3x^2 -12
-------------------------
x^4 -x^3 -4x^2 -3
2. a1 = -7.4
To find the common difference, take term 2 and subtract term 1
-21.2 - (-7.4)
-21.2 + 7.4
-13.8
an = an-1 -13.8
11 ÷ 2 = 5.5
Ethan ran 5.5 miles per hour
(1,4), (-1,3) 3-4/-1-1=-1/-2. -1/-2= 1/2 so 1/2 would be the slope
18/10
9/5
Anything along those lines!
2 yes 4 yes 6 no 9 no 10 no
