Answer:
- (x, y) = (5, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 4 times the first equation from the second:
(-7y +16x -80) -4(-9y +4x -20) = (0) -4(0)
29y = 0 . . . . . simplify
y = 0 . . . . . . . .divide by 29
4x -20 = 0 . . . . substitute 0 for y in the first equation
x -5 = 0 . . . . . .divide by 4
x = 5 . . . . . . . . add 5
The solution to this system is (x, y) = (5, 0).
f(1) = -8, simply is a way of saying, the 1st value in the arithmetic sequence is -8.
f(n) = f(n-1) - 3, is another way of saying, following values are just, the previous minus -3.
so in short, -3 is the common difference, since that is what we're "adding" to get the new value in the sequence.
