A(n)=a(1)+d(n-1), d=a(16)-a(15)=-5-(-53)=48
a(15)=a(1)+d*(15-1),
-53=a(1)+48*(15-1),
a(1)=-53-48*14= -725
a(n)=-725+48(n-1)

Answer: The product of (-a + 3)(a + 4) is: -a^2-a+12
Step-by-step explanation:
(-a+3)(a+4) = -a*a-a*4+3*a+3*4
=-a^{2} -4a+3a+12
now just simply combine..
=-a^2-a+12
the answer is -a^2-a+12
