ARITH. PROGRESSION

1st term  =x,
2nd term =x², So the common difference d = x² - x

at the same time they are giving d=12, then: x² - x = 12
 x² - x + 12 =0, solving it gives: x' =6 & x" = - 2
for x= - 2, then  PA => -8, 4, 16 (d=12) ==> 3rd term = 16
& for x=6, then PA ==> 24, 36. 48, (d=12) etc 3rd term = 48

both are correct

4X,X^2,_
Common difference=12
second term - first term=12
X^2-4x=12
subtract 12 from both sides
X^2-4X-12=12-12
X^2-4X-12=0
now its a quadratic equation, so use either factor method or quadratic formula,
X^2-6X-2X-12=0
take common
x(X-6)-2(x-6)=0
x-2)(x-6)=0
so x is either 2 or 6 
now use them to find the third term

Sladkaya [172]

Since we don't have a figure we'll assume one of them is right and we're just being asked to check if they're the same number.  I like writing polar coordinates with a P in front to remind me.

It's surely false if that's really a 3π/7; I'll guess that's a typo that's really 3π/4.

P(6√2, 7π/4) = ( 6√2 cos 7π/4, 6√2 sin 7π/4 )

P(-6√2, 3π/4) = ( -6√2 cos 3π/4, -6√2 sin 3π/4 )

That's true since when we add pi to an angle it negates both the sine and the cosine,

cos(7π/4) = cos(π + 3π/4) = -cos(3π/4)

sin(7π/4) = sin(π + 3π/4) = -sin(3π/4)

Answer: TRUE

What is a possible factorization of a polynomial with –5, 3, and i as zeros?
Rama09 [41]
The best way is to recognise that, if
x
=
5
is a root, then
x
−
5
=
0
, and ditto for the other two roots. So we have
x
−
5
,
x
−
i
,
x
+
i
all equalling zero. To find our polynomial, we just multiply the three terms together:
(
x
−
5
)
(
x
−
i
)
(
x
+
i
)

=
(
x
2
−
i
x
−
5
x
+
5
i
)
(
x
+
i
)

=
x
3
+
i
x

−

(

)
x

x

which simplifies to

x
