Can we see the patern please
So find g(0) and g(3)
G(0) = 0^2 -5(0) +3 = 3
And g(3) = 3^2 - 5(3) +3 = 9 - 15 + 3 = 3 so there is no change in g(x) for that interval.
H(0) = 8(0) + 10 = 10
And h(3) = 8(3) + 10 = 34
So the change in h(x) for that interval is 24.
The first term of this series (a+1) is 1 and the common ratio (r) is -3.
Thus, the explicit formula is a_n = 1*(-3)^(n-1).
Must check this! suppose we try to calculate the 3rd term. Then n = 3.
a_3 = 1*(-3)^(3-1) = (-3)^2 = 9. This is correct.

Answer: n = -11</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
Since x-2 is a factor of f(x), this means f(2) = 0.
More generally, if x-k is a factor of p(x), then p(k) = 0. This is a special case of the remainder theorem.
So if we plugged x = 2 into f(x), we'd get
f(x) = x^3+x^2+nx+10
f(2) = 2^3+2^2+n(2)+10
f(2) = 8+4+2n+10
f(2) = 2n+22
Set this equal to 0 and solve for n
2n+22 = 0
2n = -22
n = -22/2
n = -11 is the answer
Therefore, x-2 is a factor of f(x) = x^3+x^2-11x+10
Plug x = 2 into that updated f(x) function to find....
f(x) = x^3+x^2-11x+10
f(2) = 2^3+2^2-11(2)+10
f(2) = 8+4-22+10
f(2) = 0
Which confirms our answer.
