Simplify (x − 4)(x2 + 3x − 1). (5 points) x3 − x2 + 11x + 4 x3 − x2 − 13x + 4 x3 + 7x2 + 11x + 4 x3 + 7x2 − 13x + 4

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

all it means is function 3
