161616+444= 162,060
Answer:
1) 36
b) 5
c) 3.0
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The recursive formula that defines the given sequence is
That means we keep adding 4 to the subsequent terms:
The sequence will be:
12,16,20,24,28,32,36,...
Therefore the seventh term is 36.
2) The sequence is recursively defined by;
This means, we have to keep subtracting 5 from the subsequent terms.
The sequence will be;
20,15,10,5,...
Therefore the fourth term is 5
3) The sequence is recursively defined by:
f(n+1)=f(n)+0.5
where f(1)=-1.5
This means that, the subsequent terms can be found by adding 0.5 to the previous terms.
The sequence will be:
-1.5,-1.0,-0.5,0,0.5,1,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,....
Therefore f(10)=3.0
0.4(420) = 4(420)/10
(0.4 is essentially 4/10)
1680/10 = 168

a.
The polynomial w^2+18w+84 cannot be factored
The perfect square trinomial is w^2+18w + 81
----------
The reason the original can't be factored is that solving w^2+18w+84=0 leads to no real solutions. Use the quadratic formula to see this. The graph of y = x^2+18x+84 shows there are no x intercepts. A solution and an x intercept are basically the same. The x intercept visually represents the solution.
w^2+18w+81 factors to (w+9)^2 which is the same as (w+9)(w+9). We can note that w^2+18w+81 is in the form a^2+2ab+b^2 with a = w and b = 9

b.
The polynomial y^2-10y+23 cannot be factored
The perfect square trinomial is y^2-10y + 25
---------
Using the quadratic formula, y^2-10y+23 = 0 has no rational solutions. The two irrational solutions mean that we can't factor over the rationals. Put another way, there are no two whole numbers such that they multiply to 23 and add to -10 at the same time.
If we want to complete the square for y^2-10y, we take half of the -10 to get -5, then square this to get 25. Therefore, y^2-10y+25 is a perfect square and it factors to (y-5)^2 or (y-5)(y-5)
