A series can be arithmetic, geometric or neither

The two numbers that come next are 87 and 44

<h3>How to determine the complete series</h3>

The series is given as:

2, 88, 80, 16, 11, 3, 30, 95

In the above series, every 3rd number have a difference of 14.

So, we have:

[2], 88, 80, [16], 11, 3, [30], 95, __, [44]

The difference between other adjacent numbers is 8.

So, we have:

88 - 80 = 8

11 - 3 = 8

95 - x = 8

Collect like terms

x = 95 - 8

Evaluate the like terms

x = 87

So, the complete series is:

[2], 88, 80, [16], 11, 3, [30], 95, 87, [44]

Hence, the two numbers that come next are 87 and 44

3250-1250=1500+2(1250-500) is this true

exis [7]

Answer:

Its false because

Step-by-step explanation:

3250-1250=1500+2.(1250-500)

2000 = 1500 + 2 . 750

2000 = 1500 + 1500

2000 != 3000

Obviously 2000 isnt the same of 3000

Does anyone know the answer to these two problems?

Nady [450]

Answer:

8) -8, -9

9) 4, $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

8) x² + 12x + 27

Solutions of a polynomial means the values of $x$ such that the polynomial becomes zero. $i.e., y = 0$ .

We use the following formula to determine the solutions of a quadratic equation of the form: $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

$\implies x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

In this equation, $a = 1; b = 12; c = 27$

Substituting in the formula, we have:

$x = \frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{144 - 108}}{2}$

$\implies x = \frac{-12 \pm 6}{2}$

Taking 2 common outside we get:

$x = - 6 \pm 3$

Therefore, we get two solutions viz, x = -3, -9.

9) 2x² - 9x + 4 = y

X- intercepts of a polynomial means the value of x such that y = 0. It means the roots of the polynomial.

Solving the equation using the formula above, we get:

$x = \frac{-(-9) \pm \sqrt{81 - 32}}{2(2)}$

$\implies x = \frac{9 \pm 7}{4}$

The values of x = 4, $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Hence, the answer.

Find m A.)38<br> B.)22<br> C.)52<br> D.)12

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

x =12

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles add to 90 degrees

4x+4 + 5x-22 = 90

Combine like terms

9x - 18 = 90

Add 18 to each side

9x -18+18 = 90+18

9x = 108

Divide each side by 9

9x/9 = 108/9

x =12
