You are expected to know (-x)*(-x) = x^2 = (x)*(x) for any value of x.
With this in mind, you expect to be looking for squares in answer to your question. You will find them.
1) y² = 49 . . . . . . . 4th selection
2) y² = 16 . . . . . . . 3rd selection
Answer
3x6=18 or 3c=18
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't know in what level of mathematics you're in. It depends...
c= cost c=6
Volume of pyramid:
A - base area
H - height
First count volume of one pyramid:
![V=\dfrac{1}{3} \cdot 3 \cdot 4=4 [\hbox{inch}^3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=V%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%20%5Ccdot%203%20%5Ccdot%204%3D4%20%5B%5Chbox%7Binch%7D%5E3%5D)
So by using 576 inch^3 you can make 576 : 4 =
144 pyramids
Compute successive differences of the terms.
If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.
If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.
Example of arithmetic sequence:
1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.
Example of geometric sequence:
1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.
