I need help with this, I can't figure it out.

- 4, 13, - 21, 47

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive rule and a₁ = - 4 , then

a₂ = - 2a₁ + 5 = - 2(- 4) + 5 = 8 + 5 = 13

a₃ = - 2a₂ + 5 = - 2(13) + 5 = - 26 + 5 = - 21

a₄ = - 2a₃ + 5 = - 2(- 21) + 5 = 42 + 5 = 47

Thus the first 4 terms are - 4, 13, - 21, 47

hopefully im right

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
