Answer:
Tn = 4(-6)^n-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Write an explicit formula for an, the nth term of the sequence 4, -24, 144, ....
The sequence is a geometric sequence
Tn = ar^n-1
a is the first term
a = 4
r = -24/4 =144/-24
r = -6
Substitute
Tn = 4(-6)^n-1
Answer:

step 1
Place the numbers -4, 4, 0, and -3 in the left side
Adds the numbers
----> is correct
step 2
Place the numbers 3, -1, and -2 in the right side
Adds the numbers
----> is correct
step 3
Place the numbers 1 and 2 in the base side
Adds the numbers
----> is correct
The solution in the attached figure

Answer: x = (
y-2)^2 +
5</h3>
In other words, y-2 goes in the first box and 5 goes in the second box.
=================================================
Work Shown:
y^2 - 4y - x + 9 = 0
y^2 - 4y + 9 = x
x = y^2 - 4y + 9
x = y^2 - 4y + 4 + 5 .... rewrite 9 as 4+5
x = (y^2-4y+4) + 5
x = (y-2)^2 + 5 .... apply the perfect square factoring rule
So we'll have y-2 go in the first box and 5 goes in the second box
note: One version of the perfect square factoring rule says (a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2.
