The value for x that is a double root of this function is x = -1

<h3>How to determine the double root?</h3>

The function is given as:

f(x) = x^3 - 3x - 2

From the graph of the above function (see attachment), we have the following highlights:

The curve crosses the x-axis at x = 2
The curve touches the x-axis at x = -1

The point that it touches the x-axis is the double root point

Hence, the value for x that is a double root of this function is x = -1

A particular geometric sequence has strictly decreasing terms. After the first term, each successive term is calculated by multi

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

6 possible integers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A decreasing geometric sequence

$Ratio = \frac{m}{7}$

Required

Determine the possible integer values of m

Assume the first term of the sequence to be positive integer x;

The next sequence will be $x * \frac{m}{7}$

The next will be; $x * (\frac{m}{7})^2$

The nth term will be $x * (\frac{m}{7})^{n-1}$

For each of the successive terms to be less than the previous term;

then $\frac{m}{7}$ must be a proper fraction;

This implies that:

$0 < m < 7$

Where 7 is the denominator

The sets of $0 < m < 7$ is $\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$ and their are 6 items in this set

Hence, there are 6 possible integer

4f=2500 because 4 trips from 2500 means $f= \frac{2500}{4}$ .

The answer is 10^11. Quick way to remember is starting from the right and however many places you need to move to the 1, is the number that goes as the exponent.
