Answer:
a = 4/27 - b/81
Step-by-step explanation:
27a + 1/3 * b = 4
Subtract the term with b from both sides.
27a = 4 - 1/3 *b
Divide both sides by 27.
a = 4/27 - 1/81 * b
a = 4/27 - b/81
The first term, a, is 2. The common ratio, r, is 4. Thus,
a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).
Check: What's the first term? Let n=1. Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8. Is that correct? No.
Try this instead:
a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1). Is this correct? Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2? 2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2. YES.
The desired explicit formula is a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.
I think -6x^2+17x+17 Hope it helps
