Complete the square
x2 – 24x – 5 = 0

  (x -12)^2 -149 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Add and subtract the square of half the x-coefficient:

  x^2 -24x +(-24/2)^2 -(-24/2)^2 -5 = 0

  (x -12)^2 -149 = 0

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
