If the equation

has undergo completing the square, the answer would be:


**In this example, since 6x is the middle term, what comes to my mind is the polynomial (x+3) because 2ab results into 6x. [from the special products lesson

]

So if the equation is equal to y, then this equation's

The vertex would be on the point (-3, -17)
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve the equation:
3x+12=4x+8
12=4x-3x+8
12=x+8
12-8=x
4=x
x=4
The way i got this answer was by solving the equation using the following steps. Since you're solving for one side and have two different equations, put an equal sign in between the two equations to get the equation set up above. Then you need to have the x variable on one side, instead of both sides, so you take 3x and subtract it from both sides, leaving x on one side, because 4x-3x is equal to 1x, or just x. Then we need to have what is not attached to a variable on the other side to make it easier to solve, so you would need to subtract 8 from both sides to get rid of the 8 on the side with the variable, because if you subtract 12 from both sides, it will just make it more confusing to solve, and then 12-8 is equal to 4, so you get x is equal to 4.
Given:
The given sequence is:

To find:
The recursive formula for
, the nth term of the sequence.
Solution:
We have,

Here, the first term is 5.



The common difference is -7.
The recursive formula for the nth term of the sequence is

Where,
is the common difference.
Putting
in the above formula, we get


Therefore, the recursive formula for the nth term of the sequence is
.
5 because if you multiply the previous value by 5, you get the next answer
