Answer:
I don't know what inductive reasoning is but, the next two numbers in the pattern are -243 and +729
Step-by-step explanation:
each number is being multiplied by a factor of (-3).
No is your answer
Assuming that b ≠ a, the answers will not be the same.
For example, (remembering that b ≠ a) let us assume that b = 10, a = 5
10 - 5 = 5
5 - 10 = -5
5 ≠ -5
So the commutative property of subtraction does not work unless in certain cases, in which a = b.

Answer:
BC = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Of course, this geometry program can tell you the length of BC.
__
If you follow directions, you get a right triangle BCF that has leg lengths 3 and 4. The Pythagorean theorem then tells you the length of hypotenuse BC is ...
BF = 4 -1 = 3
FC = 4 -0 = 4
BC² = BF² +FC²
BC² = 3² +4² = 9 +16 = 25
BC = √25
BC = 5
