Distribute the 3a^n to all the other values then solve...
(3a^n*a^n)+(3a^n*a^n)+(3a^n*-1)
4a^2n+4a^2n-3a^n=
8a^2n-3a^n
Answer:
1. Last option
2. third option
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Each term is formed by multiplying the previous one by 3
so its 729, 2187
2. Working from right to left we multiply by 5 so its 500.
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Function 1:
f(x) = -x² + 8(x-15)f(x) = -x² <span>+ 8x - 120
Function 2:
</span>f(x) = -x² + 4x+1
Taking derivative will find the highest point of the parabola, since the slope of the parabola at its maximum is 0, and the derivative will allow us to find that.
Function 1 derivative: -2x + 8 ⇒ -2x + 8 = 0 ⇒ - 2x = -8 ⇒ x = -8/-2 = 4
Function 2 derivative: -2x+4 ⇒ -2x + 4 = 0 ⇒ -2x = -4 ⇒ x = -4/-2 ⇒ x= 2
Function 1: f(x) = -x² <span>+ 8x - 120 ; x = 4
f(4) = -4</span>² + 8(4) - 120 = 16 + 32 - 120 = -72
<span>
Function 2: </span>f(x) = -x²<span> + 4x+1 ; x = 2
</span>f(2) = -2² + 4(2) + 1 = 4 + 8 + 1 = 13
Function 2 has the larger maximum.
