Let the first term be a(0). Then the formula for a(n) is a(0)-18(n-1).
Check: What's the first term? Let n = 1: a(1) = a(0)-18(1-1) = a(0) (correct)
What's the second term? Let -n =2: a(2) = a(0)-18(2-1) = a(0) - 18
and so on.
Answer:
What do you have to do with the numbers
Answer:
2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
What you do is you have to do the quadratic equation like it says in the problem.
x= −b± sqrtb^2 −4ac
/2a
.
a=-2, b=4, c=5.
x=-4±sqrt(4)^2-4(-2)(5)/2(-2).
x=-4±sqrt16+40/-4.
x=-4±2sqrt14/-2.
2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2. is your answer once you have done everything.
I’m pretty sure it’s added, subtracted, added !
