Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) = 160 and f(n + 1) = –2f(n)

⇒ f(2)= -2×f(1)

= -2×160

= -320

⇒ f(3)= -2×f(2)

= -2×(-320)

= 640

⇒ f(4)= -2×f(3)

= -2×640

= -1280

Hence, Value of f(4) is:

- 1280

Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial? 4x2 + 12x + 9A. 2x-3B. 2x-1C. 2x+1D. 2x+3

katrin [286]

In order to factorate the trinomial, let's first find its roots using the quadratic formula:

$\begin{gathered} b^2-4ac=12^2-4\cdot4\cdot9=144-144=0 \\ x_1=x_2=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-12+0}{2\cdot4}=-\frac{12}{8}=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$

Now we can write the trinomial in the form:

$a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)$

So we have that:

$4x2+12x+9=4(x+\frac{3}{2})(x+\frac{3}{2})=(2x+3)(2x+3)$

So 2x + 3 is a factor of the trinomial, therefore the answer is D.
