Given:
![b(1)=-12](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%281%29%3D-12)
![b(n)=b(n-1)\cdot 4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%28n%29%3Db%28n-1%29%5Ccdot%204)
To find:
The third term of the sequence.
Solution:
We have,
![b(n)=b(n-1)\cdot 4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%28n%29%3Db%28n-1%29%5Ccdot%204)
For n=2, we get
![b(2)=b(2-1)\cdot 4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%282%29%3Db%282-1%29%5Ccdot%204)
![b(2)=b(1)\cdot 4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%282%29%3Db%281%29%5Ccdot%204)
![[\because b(1)=-12]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cbecause%20b%281%29%3D-12%5D)
For n=3, we get
![b(3)=b(3-1)\cdot 4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%283%29%3Db%283-1%29%5Ccdot%204)
![b(3)=b(2)\cdot 4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%283%29%3Db%282%29%5Ccdot%204)
![[\because b(2)=-48]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cbecause%20b%282%29%3D-48%5D)
Therefore, the 3rd term of the sequence is -192.
Wait, what graph? Are you answering a question? I dont really understand what you're saying...
Answer:
The answer is option 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, you must factorize the possible expressions :
![\frac{ {x}^{2} - 2x - 15 }{x - 3} \div \frac{x - 5}{ {x}^{2} - 9 }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20-%202x%20-%2015%20%7D%7Bx%20-%203%7D%20%20%5Cdiv%20%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%20-%205%7D%7B%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20-%209%20%7D%20)
![= \frac{(x - 5)(x + 3)}{x - 3} \div \frac{x - 5}{(x - 3)(x + 3)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%28x%20-%205%29%28x%20%2B%203%29%7D%7Bx%20-%203%7D%20%20%5Cdiv%20%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%20-%205%7D%7B%28x%20-%203%29%28x%20%20%2B%203%29%7D%20)
Next you have to divide by converting to multiplication :
![= \frac{(x - 5)(x + 3)}{x - 3} \times \frac{(x - 3)(x + 3)}{x - 5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%28x%20-%205%29%28x%20%2B%203%29%7D%7Bx%20-%203%7D%20%20%5Ctimes%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%28x%20-%203%29%28x%20%2B%203%29%7D%7Bx%20-%205%7D%20)
Lastly, you can cut out the similar expressions :
![= \frac{(x - 5)(x + 3)(x - 3)(x + 3)}{(x - 3)(x - 5)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%28x%20-%205%29%28x%20%2B%203%29%28x%20-%203%29%28x%20%2B%203%29%7D%7B%28x%20-%203%29%28x%20%20-%20%205%29%7D%20)
![= {(x + 3)}^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%3D%20%20%7B%28x%20%2B%203%29%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20)
