No. If 4x= 24 then x=6. 7 multiplied by 6 equals 42, not 35 so this is not a ratio.
From the recursive rule
it follows that
and so on. Notice how the subscript on a on the right side and the coefficient multiplied by 13 add up to n (n - 2 + 2 = n; n - 3 + 3 = n; and so on). If we continue the pattern, we'll end up with
so that the explicit rule for the n-th term in the sequence is
Answer: 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
(3x)^2*x^4
(3x)*(3x)*x^4 .... expand out (3x)^2
(3*3)*(x*x*x^4)
9x^6
Answer: 9x^6
============================================
Part B
It appears that Tonya forgot to square the 3 term and had this as her steps
(3x)^2*x^4
3x^2*x^4
3x^(2*4)
3x^8
Which is incorrect as the answer in part A indicates.
Not only is the '3' part wrong, but also the exponent of 8. Instead of multiplying the exponents, she should have added them.
The rule is a^b*a^c = a^(b+c). In this case, a = x, b = 2 and c = 4.
So x^2*x^4 = x^(2+4) = x^6
The correct answer is 21 and 9. 21+9=30 and 21-9=12. Hope this helps.
