Working on practice problems for my class and I'm stuck on this question

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

you,

1/4 and 8/3 because:

the reciprocal if 4 is 1/4 because 4 is used as 4/1 and the opposite of that is 1/4. the opposite of 3/8 is 8/3 so that is the answer.

answer: get more recipes with 3 magazines for $20! i often use chicken broth instead of water. 3 tablespoons butter, divided; 1/2 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano bring water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan; pour polenta slowly into 5 minutes to thicken; stir and taste for salt before transferring to a serving bowl.

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )
