What is the recursive rule for the sequence? −2.7, −8.3, −13.9, −19.5, −25.1

an=an+1+5.6, where a1=−2.7

an=an+1−5.6, where a1=−2.7

an=an−1+5.6, where a1=−2.7

an=an−1−5.6, where a1=−2.7

where

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence with the first term is = -2.7 and has a common difference of .

Arithmetic Sequence:

is the nth term and is the common difference.

The common difference: -2.7, -8.3, -13.9...

Subtract: -2.7- (-8.3) = -5.6, -13.9 - (-8.3) = -5.6

Common difference:

Recursive rule:

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
