the discriminant b^2 - 4ac when the equation is in the form of ax^2 +bx+c=0
13x^2-16x = x^2 -x
we need to get in it the standard form
subtract x^2 from each side
12x^2 -16x = -x
add x to each side
12x^2 -15x = 0
12x^2 -15x -0 =0
a=12 b=-15 c=0
b^2 -4ac
the discriminant = b^2
b^2 = (-15)2 = 225
Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 4^x,
When x = 3,
=> f(3) = 4^3
= 4 * 4 * 4
= 64
If the pattern continues, so that each term is separated by a distance of 3, then the sequence is given by the recursive rule
From this definition, we can write in terms of :
and so on, up to
(notice how the subscript on <em>a</em> and coefficient on 3 add up to <em>n</em>)
or
