Answer:

$a_{62}=-107$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence:

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

where d is the common difference and n is the index of any given term.

The common difference of the given sequence is -2:

$13-15=-2\\11-13=-2$

Using the first term and the common difference, you can write the equation for this sequence:

$a_n=15+(n-1)(-2)$

And using that equation, you can find the 62nd term:

$a_{62}=15+(62-1)(-2)\\a_{62}=15+(61)(-2)\\a_{62}=15-122\\a_{62}=-107$

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form:

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

<em>(h, k)</em><em> - vertex</em>

The focus is

$\left(h,\ k+\dfrac{1}{4a}\right)$

We have the vertex (2, -5) and the focus (2, -4).

Calculate the value of <em>a</em> using $k+\dfrac{1}{4a}$

<em>k = -5</em>

$-5+\dfrac{1}{4a}=-4$ <em>add 5 to both sides</em>

$\dfrac{1}{4a}=1$ <em>multiply both sides by 4</em>

$4\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{1}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup_1a}=4$

$\dfrac{1}{a}=4\to a=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Substitute

$a=\dfrac{1}{4},\ h=2,\ k=-5$

to the vertex form of an equation of a parabola:

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}(x-2)^2-5$

The standard form:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

Convert using

$(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}(x^2-2(x)(2)+2^2)-5\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}(x^2-4x+4)-5$

<em>use the distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac</em>

$y=\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(x^2)+\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(-4x)+\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(4)-5\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x+1-5\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x-4$

How would you write the following expression as a single term? 3[2 ln(x-1) - lnx] + ln (x+1)

Elan Coil [88]

Apply the rule: $n ln x = ln x^{n}$

$3[2 ln(x-1) - lnx] + ln(x+1)=3[ln(x-1)^{2} - lnx ] + ln(x+1)$

Apply the rule : $log a - log b = log \frac{a}{b}$

$3[2 ln(x-1) - lnx] + ln(x+1)=3ln\frac{(x-1)^{2} }{x} + ln(x+1)$

Apply the rule: $n ln x = ln x^{n}$

$3[ln (x-1)^{2} -ln x]+ln (x+1)= ln \frac{(x-1)^{6} }{x^{3} } +log(x+1)$

Finally, apply the rule: log a + log b = log ab

$3[ln(x-1)^{2} -ln x]+log(x+1)=ln\frac{(x-1)^{6}(x+1) }{x^{3} }$
