What it the first five terms of the sequence with an nth term of 8n plus 1?

9, 17, 25, 33, 41


What is the first five nth terms of 34 - 5n?

29


What are the first five terms of the sequence whose nth term is -8n plus 2?

Sn = -8n + 2S0 = -8(0) + 2 = 2S1 = -8(1) + 2 = -6S2 = -8(2) + 2 = -14S3 = -8(3) + 2 = -22S4 = -8(4) + 2 = -30S5 = -8(5) + 2 = -38


What is the pattern in the Fibbonacci sequence?

The fibbonacci sequence is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, etc. Look at the first number. One. Look at the second number, one. Add them together and you get two which is the third number in the sequence. Now look at the one that is before the two and add that one with the two. You get three. Add the two and the three. five. Add the three and the five, 8. And so on. I hope this was helpful. The fibbonacci sequence is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, etc. Look at the first number. One. Look at the second number, one.

A fourth degree polynomial that has five terms could have five linear factors.?

No, if it is of degree 4, it can have 4 linear factors, regardless of the number of terms.For example, x squared + 5x + 6 = (x+3)(x+2). The unfactored polynomial has three terms, and is of degree 2. Similarly, you can multiply four linear terms together; and you will get a polynomial of degree 4, which has up to 5 terms.
