What is the explicit formula for this sequence? -17, -21, -25, -29, ...
A. an = (-17) + (n - 114
B. an = (-4) + (n - 1)(-17)
C. an = (-17) + (n - 1)(-4)
D. an = (-33) + (n-1)(-4)

i believe the answer is the polygon, heptagon.

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

p = 6s
