Answer:

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 for m: 18d − 2m + 9k < 5k + 10

snow_tiger [21]

$18d-2m+9k$ < $5k+10$

$18d-2m$ < $-4k +10$

$-2m$ < $-4k +10 -18d$

$m$ > $\frac{-4k+10-18d}{-2}$ (flipped the sign because we're dividing by a negative)

$m$ > $2k+5+9d$
