Answer:

Tn = -n^2 - n + 21 is the formula for the nth term.

Step-by-step explanation:

The second differences are all equal in this quadratic sequence.

Now, the quadratic sequence has a formula of Tn = an^2 + bn + c

Find the value of a in an^2 by dividing the difference by 2:

-2/2 = -1

a = -1

Since T1 is 19 and T2 is 15 we can put that into the equation and simplify:

b + c = 20

2b +  c = 19

Thus, b = -1 , c = 19 and the general formula for the nth term is Tn = -n^2 - n + 21

Manny was given the equation (x+2)(x-7)=0 and asked to find the zeros. The solutions he came up with were x=2 and x=-17.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 2)(x - 7) = 0 ← in standard form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

Thus the zeros are x = - 2 and x = 7

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros of this polynomial, set the polynomial equal to zero, and then set each of the factors equal to zero separately.  Solve each equation for x:

x  - 1 = 0 yields x = 1.     The x-intercept is (1, 0).

x + 3 = 0 yields x = -3.   The x-intercept is (-3, 0).

2x + 1 = 0 yields x = -1/2   The x-intercept is (-1/2, 0)

Find the height of the prism if the length is 9 inches, the width is 5 inches, and the volume of the prism is 315 cubic inches.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Height of prism = 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of prism.

Hence,

h =  \frac{vol \: of \: prism}{l \times w}  \\  \\  =  \frac{315}{9 \times 5}  \\  \\  =  \frac{315}{45}  \\   \\ h= 7 \: inches
