Answer:
f(3) = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1) = 1
f(2) = 2
f(n) = f(n − 2) + f(n − 1)
f(3) = f(3 - 2) + f(3 - 1)
= f(1) + f(2) = 1 + 2 = 3
Special Note: Have you heard of the Fibonacci sequence?
The formula f(n) = f(n − 2) + f(n − 1) is used to find the terms of the of the Fibonacci sequence
When you see an equation with parenthesis around it, you can use this:
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
Otherwise known as PEMDAS.
We can see that in the equation, there are parenthesis, so we can open those. We open parenthesis by taking the number right next to the parenthesis (or outside the parenthesis) and we multiply that number by everything inside. So this is what it would look like:
-2x^2 - 10x + 8
See how the signs changed? This rule only applies when you multiply something, but here is how I think of it:
+ and + always equals +.
- and - always equals +.
- and + always equals -.
+ and - always equals -.
So that's it! Just to be clear, the answer is:
-2x^2 - 10x + 8
Hope I helped, sorry if I'm wrong!

Answer:
It's already a rational number?
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number is any number that can be written as a fraction/ratio, and 
is certainly a fraction. If you meant as a decimal, then it'd be 2.625.
Answer: the length of the rectangle is 37ft
the width of the rectangle is 6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the rectangle.
Let W represent the width of the rectangle.
The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
The perimeter of the given rectangle is 86 feet. This means that
2(L + W) = 86
Dividing through by 2, it becomes
L + W = 43 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Its length is 7 more than five times its width.. This means that
L = 5W + 7
Substituting L = 5W + 7 into equation 1, it becomes
5W + 7 + W = 43
6W + 7 = 43
6W = 43 - 7
6W = 36
W = 36/6
W = 6
L = 5W + 7 = 5 × 6 + 7
L = 37
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
sqrt(x+4) - 3 = 1
First get the sqrt all by itself on one side of the equation. Add 3 to both sides of the equation.
sqrt(x+4) = 1 + 3
sqrt(x+4) = 4
To "fix" the sqrt, that is, "undo it" and get rid of it, you have to SQUARE both sides of the equation.
(sqrt(x+4))^2 = 4^2
x + 4 = 16
subtract 4 to finish up.
x = 12
Check:
sqrt(12 + 4) - 3 = 1
sqrt16 - 3 = 1
4 - 3 = 1
1 = 1 Check!
