Answer:

See below, please

Step-by-step explanation:

Left side

{(2x + 1)}^{2}  -  {(x + 1)}^{2}

= (4 {x}^{2}  + 4x + 1) - ( {x}^{2}  + 2x + 1)

= (4 {x}^{2}  -  {x}^{2} ) + (4x - 2x) + (1 -1 )

= 3 {x}^{2}  + 2x

Right side

3 \times  {(x + 1)}^{2}  - 1

= 3 \times ( {x}^{2}  + 2x + 1) - 1

= 3 {x}^{2}  + 6x + 3 - 1

= 3 {x}^{2}  + 6x + 2

After compared with both sides, we can make a conclusion that

This equation isn't an identity.

An arithmetic sequence is defined by the general term tn = -5 + (n - 1)78, where n ∈N and n ≥ 1. What is the recursive formula o
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In general for arithmetic sequences, recursive formulas are of the form

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d,

and the explicit formula (like tₙ in your problem), are of the form

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d,

where d is the common difference. So converting between the two of these isn't so bad. In this case, your problem wants you to have an idea of what t₁ is (well, every answer says it's -5, so there you are) and what tₙ₊₁ is. Using the formulas above and your given tₙ = -5 + (n - 1)78, we can see that the common difference is 78, so no matter what we get ourselves into, the constant being added on at the end should be 78. That automatically throws out answer choice D.

But to narrow it down between the rest of them, you want to use the general form for the recursive formula and substitute (n + 1) for every instance of n. This will let you find tₙ₊₁ to match the requirements of your answer choices. So

tₙ₊₁ = t₍ₙ₊₁₎₋₁ + d ... Simplify the subscript

tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + d

Therefore, your formula for tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + 78, which is answer choice C.

 PLEASE HELP!! A tennis ball machine serves a ball vertically into the air from a height of two feet, with an initial speed of 1
ch4aika [34]
Thank you for posting your question here. I hope the answer below will help. 

Vo=110 feet per second 
<span>ho=2 feet </span>
<span>So, h(t) = -16t^2 +110t +2 </span>
<span>Take the derivative: h'(t) = 110 -32t </span>
<span>The maximum height will be at the inflection when the derivative crosses the x-axis aka when h'(t)=0. </span>
<span>So, set h'(t)=0 and solve for t: </span>
<span>0 = 110 -32t </span>
<span>-110 = -32t </span>
<span>t=3.4375 </span>
<span>t=3.44 seconds </span>
