7x/x-4 * x/x+7
mutiply the numerators together
(7x)(x)= 7x^ 2
mutiply the denominators together
(x-4)(x+7)
(x)(x)(7)(x)= x^2+7x
(-4)(x)(-4)(7)= -4x-28
x^2+7x-4x-28
x^2+3x-28
Answer:
7x^2/x^ 2+3x-28
Let's calculate r of this G.P: (-20)/(4) = - 5(100)/(-20) = - 5So r = -5
The formula to find the nth term of a GP is;
a(n) = a(r)ⁿ⁻¹
<u />a₆ = a(r)⁶⁻¹
a₆ = 4(-5)⁵ = -12500<u />
I did this on a calculator may or may not be correct but I got 18
