A sequence is defined by the recursive formula f(n + 1) = 1.5f(n). Which sequence could be generated using the formula? –12, –18, –27, ... –20, 30, –45, ... –18, –16.5, –15, ... –16, –17.5, –19, ...

The sequence -12 , -18 , -27 , is generated using the formula ⇒ 1st sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive formula of the sequence is f(n + 1) = 1.5 f(n)

That means there is a constant ratio 1.5 between each two consecutive terms

In sequence -12 , -18 , -27 ,

The first term is -12

The formula is f(n + 1) = 1.5 f(n)

Use the first term where n = 1 to find the 2nd term

∵ f(1) = -12

- Substitute n by 1 in the given formula

∵ f(1 + 1) = 1.5 f(1)

∴ f(2) = 1.5(-12)

∴ f(2) = -18

Use the second term where n = 2 to find the 3rd term

∵ f(2) = -18

- Substitute n by 2 in the given formula

∵ f(2 + 1) = 1.5 f(2)

∴ f(3) = 1.5(-18)

∴ f(3) = -27

∴ The sequence -12 , -18 , -27 , is generated using the formula

step-by-step explanation:

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)
