A cubic.
(xn+2-1)/(x2-1)ExplanationLet Y=1+x2+x4+...+xn. Now notice that:Y=1+x2+x4+...+xn=x2(1+x2+x4+...+xn-2)+1Y+xn+2=x2(1+x2+x4+...+xn-2+xn)+1Y+xn+2=x2*Y+1Y+xn+2-x2*Y=1Y-x2*Y=1-xn+2Y(1-x2)=1-xn+2Y=(1-xn+2)/(1-x2)=(xn+2-1)/(x2-1)
It is a many to one function (APEX)
x6 + 3x4 - x2 - 3 = 0(x6 + 3x4) - (x2 + 3) = 0x4(x2 + 3) - (x2 + 3) = 0(x2 + 3)(x4 - 1) = 0(x2 + 3)[(x2)2 - 12] = 0(x2 + 3)(x2 + 1)(x2 - 1) = 0(x2 + 3)(x2 + 1)(x + 1)(x - 1) = 0x2 + 3 = 0 or x2 + 1 = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or x - 1 = 0x2 + 3 = 0x2 = -3x = ±√-3 = ±i√3 ≈ ±1.7ix2 + 1 = 0x2 = -1x = ±√-1 = ±i√1 ≈ ±ix + 1 = 0x = -1x - 1 = 0x = 1The solutions are x = ±1, ±i, ±1.7i.
a recursive pattern is when you always use the next term in the pattern... for example 4,(x2+1) 9,(x2+1) 19,(x2+1) 39,(x2+1) 79,(x2+1) 159

x2 is often used as shorthand for twice. So "right ankle fx x2" means the patient broke her ankle twice.
plug -8 in for x
(x - 7)(x - 1) or (x + 7)(x + 1) depending on sign of 8x so zero is +/- 7 and +/- 1
The antiderivative of x/(x2-1) is ln(x2-1)/2. Proof: (ln(x2-1)/2)' = (1/(x2-1))*(x2-1)'/2=1/(x2-1)*(2x/2)=x/(x2-1).
(xn+2-1)/(x2-1)ExplanationLet Y=1+x2+x4+...+xn. Now notice that:Y=1+x2+x4+...+xn=x2(1+x2+x4+...+xn-2)+1Y+xn+2=x2(1+x2+x4+...+xn-2+xn)+1Y+xn+2=x2*Y+1Y+xn+2-x2*Y=1Y-x2*Y=1-xn+2Y(1-x2)=1-xn+2Y=(1-xn+2)/(1-x2)=(xn+2-1)/(x2-1)

1 - x4 = (1 - x2)(1 + x2) = (1 - x)(1 + x)(1 + x2) (difference of squares)

x2 - 12x3 = x2(1 - 12x)
