Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your recursive formula is ...

  a_1=2\\a_n=a_{n-1}^2-2

Using this to find a4, we get ...

  a_2=a_1^2-2=2^2-2=2\\a_3=a_2^2-2=2^2-2=2\\a_4=a_3^2-2=2^2-2=2\\\\\boxed{a_4=2}

Solve the following exponential equations.<br> 2(4^x )+ 4^(x+1 )= 342
Cloud [144]

Answer:

  x ≈ 2.91644500708

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be simplified to ...

  2(4^x) +4(4^x) = 342

  6(4^x) = 342

  4^x = 57

Taking logarithms, we get ...

  x = log₄(57) = log(57)/log(4)

  x ≈ 2.91644500708

Use the system of equations to answer the questions.
koban [17]

Answer:

2x + 3(8 - 3x) = 3

x = 3

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 3

y = 8 – 3x

2x + 3(8 - 3x) = 3

2x + 24 - 9x = 3

7x = 21

x = 3

y = 8 - 3(3)

y = -1
