Answer:
not arithmetic
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence has a common difference d between consecutive terms.
Given
= 2n² - 1
Substitute in n = 1, 2, 3, 4 to generate the first 4 terms of the sequence
= 2(1)² - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1
= 2(2)² - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7
= 2(3)² - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17
= 2(4)² - 1 = 32 - 1 = 31
check the difference between consecutive terms
7 - 1 = 6
17 - 7 = 10
31 - 17 = 14
The differences are not common hence not an arithmetic sequence
Answer:
(x−2)(x−4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's factor x2−6x+8
x2−6x+8
The middle number is -6 and the last number is 8.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
Which numbers go in the blanks?
We need two numbers that...
Add together to get -6
Multiply together to get 8
Can you think of the two numbers?
Try -2 and -4:
-2+-4 = -6
-2*-4 = 8
Fill in the blanks in
(x+_)(x+_)
with -2 and -4 to get...
(x-2)(x-4)
Hope this helps! Also, if it's no trouble, can I have brainliest? Thanks! :D
Yes I do a study guide always it works since you can use your brain while you are writing so you memorize it easily and you get a study guide too:)
So sorry I got it wrong and don't know how to delete
