Answer:
(5x² + 3) (2x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
10x³ - 15x² + 6x - 9 (rearrange)
10x³+ 6x - 15x² - 9 (group using parentheses)
(10x³+ 6x) - (15x² + 9) (factor out 2x from first term and 3 from second term)
2x (5x²+ 3) - 3(5x² + 3) (factor out (5x²+3) )
(5x² + 3) (2x-3) (answer)
You can try to show this by induction:
• According to the given closed form, we have
, which agrees with the initial value <em>S</em>₁ = 1.
• Assume the closed form is correct for all <em>n</em> up to <em>n</em> = <em>k</em>. In particular, we assume

and

We want to then use this assumption to show the closed form is correct for <em>n</em> = <em>k</em> + 1, or

From the given recurrence, we know

so that






which is what we needed. QED
